Abstract
The hippocampus (Latin for seahorse) is a structure in the medial temporal lobe, lining the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. It has been considered part of the limbic system and plays an important role in processes associated with learning, memory, emotion, spatial navigation, and time perception. Its unique highly ordered lamination, trisynaptic circuitry, and neurogenesis has contributed a wealth of information toward our current understanding of experience-dependent neuroplasticity at the systems, cellular, and molecular levels.
