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

Selective expression of ErbB4 in interneurons, but not pyramidal cells, of the rodent hippocampus.

28 Sep 2009 NRG1 and ERBB4 have emerged as some of the most reproducible schizophrenia risk genes. Moreover, the Neuregulin (NRG)/ErbB4 signaling pathway has been implicated in dendritic spine morphogenesis, glutamatergic synaptic plasticity, and neural network ... Read more...


A role for SNAP25 in internalization of kainate receptors and synaptic plasticity.

11 Aug 2009 Regulation of surface insertion and internalization of AMPA and NMDA receptors has emerged as a key mechanism for the control of synaptic strength. Regulatory elements for synaptic kainate receptors (KARs) are, however, largely undetermined. We have ... Read more...


Synaptic potentiation induces increased glial coverage of excitatory synapses in CA1 hippocampus.

30 Jul 2009 Patterns of activity that induce synaptic plasticity at excitatory synapses, such as long-term potentiation, result in structural remodeling of the postsynaptic spine, comprising an enlargement of the spine head and reorganization of the ... Read more...
