| The parahippocampal gyrus ends up on the _____ surface of the medial temporal cortex, around the _______. | inferior around midbrain |
| Uncus is _______ with mammilary bodies. | parallel |
| Many neocortical areas project to the entorhinal cortex, which projects to the _______ gyrus via _______. | dentate gyrus via the perforant pathway |
| The perforant pathway (or indirect perforant pathway) is important for _________ | long term synaptic plasticity [long-term potentiation (LTP)] |
| 3 layers of dentate gyrus from outer to inner | 1. molecular (outer) 2. granular (middle) 3. polymorphic (inner fiber tracts) |
| The perforant pathway from entorhinal input synapse with the ____ cells in the dentate gyrus | granule cells |
| Granule cell axons ( _______ fibers) from dentate gyrus project to the _____ and synapse on _____ pyramidal cells. | Granule cell axons [dentate fibers] from dentate gyrus project to the [hippocampus] and synapse on [CA3] pyramidal cells. |
| CA3 axons are called the | Schaffer collateral fibers |
| CA3 axons project to _____ neurons. | CA1 |
| T/F: CA3---CA1 pathway is also long-term potentiation pathway. | T. |
| Entorhinal cortex also have direct pathway to _____ and _____ pyramidal cells in the hippocampus. This pathway is called _______. | CA1 and CA3 alvear pathway (direct perforant pathway) |
| The direct perforant pathway leads back to _____ and ______. | The subiculum and entorhinal cortex |
| Feedback loops run from ____ to _____ and then to _______. | subiculum --- entorhinal --- association cortex |
| The hippocampus and subiculum also form output paths to limbic system, thalamus, and hypothalamus via ________ | The fornix |
| Fornix is a white matter tract formed by the axons from _______ and ______ which are directed into the _____. | Pyramidal CA1 and CA3 directed to the fimbria |
| Fibers crossing between hemispheres are called ________. It is continuous with the (anterior/posterior) fornix. | hippocampal commisure continuous with anterior fornix |
| Non-decussating fornix fibers either 1) bend and descend behind the _____ and end up in the __________. 2) bend and direct anterior to the anterior commissure and terminate in the _________, which is related to our ______ system. | 1) Behind the anterior commisure end up in the mammillary bodies 2) septal nuclei, reward system |
| Fornix fibers to mammillary bodies --> | anterior thalamus --> anterior limb of internal capsule (thalamocortical fibers) --> cingulate gyrus This is the second feedback loop to entorhinal cortex |
