Abstract

Experimental work beginning in the last century and carried on with increasing intensity in recent times has provided ever more precise accounts of the anatomical, physiological, and biochemical properties of the various subfields and interconnections of the hippocampal formation. Indeed, hippocampus is now one of the most thoroughly described regions in mammalian brain. Despite this, it has not been possible to link the specific neurobiological features of the structure to its contributions to behavior; this is quite possibly one of the reasons that the role of hippocampus in processes such as learning and memory remains a subject of continuing controversy.
