Hippocampus - Radiation effects
Research News and Information

Definition of 'Hippocampus'

A curved elevation of gray matter extending the entire length of the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle (Dorland, 28th ed). The hippocampus, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

Common names: Hippocampus; Cornu Ammonis; Ammon Horn; Horn, Ammon; Ammon's Horn; Ammons Horn; Horn, Ammon's; Subiculum; Subiculums; Hippocampal Formation; Formation, Hippocampal; Formations, Hippocampal; Hippocampal Formations

Abnormality of synaptic vesicular associated proteins in cerebral cortex and hippocampus after microwave exposure.

30 Oct 2009 Studies were performed to determine the effects of microwave on synaptic vesicles and the expression of synaptic vesicular associated proteins including synapsin I, VAMP-2, syntaxin, and synaptophysin. 25 Wistar rats were exposed to microwave which ... Read more...


Ionizing radiation impairs the formation of trace fear memories and reduces hippocampal neurogenesis.

29 Sep 2009 Long-term cognitive impairments are a feared consequence of therapeutic cranial irradiation in children as well as adults. Studies in animal models suggest that these deficits may be associated with a decrease in hippocampal granule cell ... Read more...


Seizure entrainment with polarizing low-frequency electric fields in a chronic animal epilepsy model.

13 Jul 2009 Neural activity can be modulated by applying a polarizing low-frequency (<<100 Hz) electric field (PLEF). Unlike conventional pulsed stimulation, PLEF stimulation has a graded, modulatory effect on neuronal excitability, and permits the simultaneous ... Read more...
