Intimately involved in motivation and emotion as part of the limbic system

Usage examples of hippocampus.

Penfield believed that this lost accessing ability arises from an inadequate blood supply to the hippocampus in old age-because of arteriosclerosis or other physical disabilities.

The title not only confirmed the centrality of the hippocampus to studies of animal learning, but was also symbolic of the conceptual shift amongst psychologists away from the crudities of behaviourism and simple associationism towards an understanding of animals, like humans, as cognitive organisms.

Calibrate the neurotracer to monitor at the cingulate gyrus, isthmus, hippocampal gyrus, uncus, and hippocampus.

Annette Dolphin, working with Tim Bliss, showed that, when the perforant pathway is stimulated in vivo, there is an increased release of glutamate in the hippocampus, and the biochemical mechanisms of this release were mapped in some detail by Marina Lynch.

All readings looked fine: glutamate, serotonin, do-pamine, cortical suppressant, amygdala regulator, P15, BDNF to strengthen the synaptic connections for learning in the hippocampus.

A major component of our ability to remember and recall is localized in the hippocampus, a structure within the limbic system.

A device, with hundreds of hair thin needles, pierces the scalp and produces a detailed 3-D map, a grid, which gives us the precise location of the ridges of the hippocampus ventricle and the pineal gland.

Bink exploded, thinking of what the hippocampus and manticora would do to him if they got a second chance.

Here your hippocampus responded with an identical theta rhythm while the neocortical EEG flattened.

Nonetheless certain important general neurobiological principles have emerged from the last decades of experimentation, on chicks, on the hippocampus, on Aplysia, and on many other experimental models which I have not found space to mention here.

An autopsy turned up encephalitis and myelitis of the brain, including Negri bodies in the pyramidal cells of the hippocampus, and Purkinje cells of the cerebellum.

The connection is clearly shown by the profound memory impairment that results from lesions of the hippocampus.

PET scans of working clairvoyants, my father found that the areas in the brain most important for clairvoyance were the same areas responsible for autism: the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the neocerebellum.

And pyramidal neurons in the frontal cortex and hippocampus accumulated calpain, which meant they were vulnerable to calcium influxes, which damaged them.

Autopsies of people over two hundred who had died of the quick decline regularly showed serious calcification of the pineal gland, coupled with increases in calpain levels in the hippocampus.
