  1. Hippocampus thus orchestrates memory-guided exploration that unfolds over time to build coherent memories. This new perspective on hippocampal function harmonizes with the fact that memory formation and exploratory viewing are tightly intertwined. Keywords: eye-movement tracking, fMRI, episodic, long-term, exploration.

    The hippocampus is comprised primarily of pyramidal cells, which are multipolar neurons that have excitatory and projective functions. This structure is also divided into different regions called fields named CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4. The hippocampus receives input and sends output to the rest of the brain via the entorhinal cortex. This is an area s...

    If someone is experiencing dysfunction with their hippocampus, they may be experiencing one or more of the following symptoms: It has been found that the classic symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, including memory loss and disorientation, have been associated with a decline in hippocampal activity. Other symptoms of early-onset Alzheimer’s are a loss...

    Nordanskog et al. (2010) conducted research into the treatment of depression, with a focus on attempting to increase the hippocampal volumes of patients. The researchers used electroconvulsive ther...
    After a series of ECT, there was a significant increase in the hippocampal volume of the patients. As there was an increase in volume, this could imply that the hippocampus may play a key role in t...
    Montagrin, Saiote & Schiller (2017) have proposed that the hippocampus may hold more than just cognitive maps of spatial information.
    They hypothesize that the hippocampus may be involved in forming social maps due to evidence suggesting the hippocampus’ role in supporting social memory, representing different dimensions of socia...
