Updating the Lamellar Hypothesis of Hippocampal Organization

It is suggested that longitudinal axons in the dentate gyrus may mediate “lateral” inhibition and define lamellar function, rather than undermine it, and the functional implications of longitudinally projecting axons depend not on whether they exist, but on what they do.

Organization of the entorhinal—hippocampal system: A review of current anatomical data

This article summarizes the current knowledge about the anatomy of the entorhinal-hippocampal system and indicates that specific channels that can be identified anatomically may indeed be present in the hippocampal region, but in contrast to the transverse slices that figure in the rat.

Crossing fiber arrays in the rat hippocampus as demonstrated by three‐dimensional reconstruction

An intracellular horseradish peroxidase study of the CA3 pyramidal neurons and the granule cells of the fascia dentata suggests that most myelinated fibers in the hippocampus are organized parallel to the alvear fibers, and proposes a new model of the organization of the intrinsic excitatory circuitry of the rat hippocampus which creates a crossing neural network.

Anatomical Organization of the Parahippocampal‐Hippocampal Network

The terminal organization of the presubicular input to the medial entorhinal cortex indicates that the interactions between the deep and superficial entorHinal layers may be influenced by this input.

Connection matrix of the hippocampal formation: I. The dentate gyrus

A review of the quantitative neuroanatomy of the rodent dentate gyrus is presented in the context of the development of a computational model of its connectivity, which provides valuable clues in this regard.

Functional organization of the hippocampal longitudinal axis

Together, anatomical studies and electrophysiological recordings in rodents suggest a model in which functional long-axis gradients are superimposed on discrete functional domains, which provides a potential framework to explain and test the multiple functions ascribed to the hippocampus.

The results of the present study do not support the proposition that the deep hilar region is an extension of the pyramidal layer of the hippocampus as suggested by Lorente de Nó ('34), and thus CA4 is a misnomer.

An autoradiographic study of the efferent connections of the entorhinal cortex in the rat

Organization of intrahippocampal projections originating from CA3 pyramidal cells in the rat

The distribution of intrahippocampal projections arising from the CA3 region of the rat hippocampus was investigated using in vitro and in vivo methods and bore numerous varicosities that electron microscopy confirmed to be presynaptic boutons.

Connections of the parahippocampal cortex in the cat. V. Intrinsic connections; comments on input/output connections with the hippocampus

It appears that within the parahippocampal cortex of the cat a framework exists, which is composed of longitudinal and transverse connections, organized according to three principles: Medially directed projections originate mostly in superficial layers, whereas laterally directed fibers come from deep layers.

Origin and termination of the hippocampal perforant path in the rat studied by silver impregnation

A detailed study of the origin and termination of the so‐called perforant path of the hippocampal region has been made in the rat, finding the origin to be in the medial part of the entorhinal area, from the most dorsal to the most ventral levels.

All PHA‐L injections resulted in the labeling of axons projecting longitudinally within the entorhinal area, in both dorsal and ventral directions, albeit the ventral projections were the most prominent ones.
