An interactive diagram is developed with the aim to display all of the currently known anatomical connections of the rat parahippocampal–hipp hippocampal network and discuss the functional implications of some relatively underexposed connections.
Abstract
Converging evidence suggests that each parahippocampal and hippocampal subregion contributes uniquely to the encoding, consolidation and retrieval of declarative memories, but their precise roles remain elusive. Current functional thinking does not fully incorporate the intricately connected networks that link these subregions, owing to their organizational complexity; however, such detailed anatomical knowledge is of pivotal importance for comprehending the unique functional contribution of each subregion. We have therefore developed an interactive diagram with the aim to display all of the currently known anatomical connections of the rat parahippocampal-hippocampal network. In this Review, we integrate the existing anatomical knowledge into a concise description of this network and discuss the functional implications of some relatively underexposed connections.

Functional organization of the hippocampal longitudinal axis

TL;DR: 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.

A pathophysiological framework of hippocampal dysfunction in ageing and disease

TL;DR: Observations in the context of the functional and molecular organization of the hippocampal circuit give rise to a unified pathophysiological framework of hippocampal dysfunction.

The hippocampal CA2 region is essential for social memory

TL;DR: CA2, a relatively small area interposed between CA3 and CA1 that forms the nexus of a powerful disynaptic circuit linking EC input with CA1 output, is revealed as a critical hub of sociocognitive memory processing.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.

TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

Neuronal Oscillations in Cortical Networks

TL;DR: Recent findings indicate that network oscillations bias input selection, temporally link neurons into assemblies, and facilitate synaptic plasticity, mechanisms that cooperatively support temporal representation and long-term consolidation of information.

TL;DR: The present work focuses on the development of brain Stem Systems Involved in the Blink Reflex, Feeding Mechanisms, and Micturition of the Spinal Cord, which are involved in the selection of somatic and emotional components of the Motor System in Mammals.

The medial temporal lobe

TL;DR: This analysis draws on studies of human memory impairment and animal models of memory impairment, as well as neurophysiological and neuroimaging data, to show that this system is principally concerned with memory and operates with neocortex to establish and maintain long-term memory.
