I came to this page looking for information on the hippocampus, as in the creature from Greek mythology, and was very disappointed to find an entire article dedicated wholly to one rather obscure use of the word. Be as thorough as you can! Semiconscious ( talk Head over there and you will see the amount of detail we've included. ![]() Another user and I are both heavily reworking cerebellum right now. My philosophy on this is to write as much as I can. Digfarenough 02:24, 17 August 2005 (UTC) Nice work, Digfarenough. Anyone know what the limit is? I could write much more about electrophysiology of hippocampus as well as current models about its function and anatomy and so forth and can provide good references for both the new information and for information already mentioned in the article. I added a section on some details of hippocampal anatomy, but I'm not sure how much detail should be included as this is an encyclopedia, not a neuroscience textbook. Much of the rest of the corical mantle is isocortex (there are a few other regions, like parts of orbitofrontal and piriform that are not isocortical, as I recall). The presubiculum, parasubiculum, and entorhinal cortex are classified as periallocortex. The CA fields, dentate gyrus, and subiculum are classified as allocortex. is part of cortex or subcortex? Anyone of you could answer to this (trivial) question, please? There isnt enough about the hippocampus's role in stress in this article at the moment - I hope to add more shortly. GR activation has been shown to have many effects on hippocampal plasticity (something I work on). The hippocampus is very rich in glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and is thought to take part in the regulatory feedback process. ACTH causes the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex which negatively feed back to the HPA axis. This is an area which releases the hormones CRH and AVP into the pituitary, thus causing the release of ACTH into the bloodstream. Not only are there the neuronal connections stated above, but also connections to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. An important function of the hippocampus seems to be to regulate the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Goferwiki 10:18, (UTC)Īs the above editor says, there is a very strong link. ![]() This physical data has also been shown behavioraly through fear conditioning studies. There are a number of fiber track that run through the lateral hypothalamus to the fornix and into the hippocampus. Is there any physical link between the Hippocampus and the Hypothalamus? That is, are they or aren't they indepedent of one another? - Tothebarricades.tk 03:56, (UTC)
