Ebook: Hippocampal Microcircuits: a Computational Modeler's Resource Book

The hippocampus is amongst the most widely studied of mammalian brain regions (see The Hippocampus Book, Eds. P. Andersen, R. Morris, D. Amaral, T. Bliss, J. O'Keefe. Oxford University Press, 2007) and is hypothesized to play a role in the short-term storage of declarative memories. Recent years have witnessed a dramatic accumulation of knowledge about the morphological, physiological and molecular characteristics as well as the connectivity and synaptic properties of the various cell types found in the hippocampus.;Intro; Introduction; Contents; Contributors; Part I Experimental Background; Connectivity of the Hippocampus; Overview; Microscopical Anatomy and Nomenclature; The Standard Connectional View; Entorhinal-Hippocampal Projections; EC Projections to DG, CA3 and CA2; EC Projections to CA1 and Sub; Synaptic Organization; Projections from CA1 and Subiculum to Entorhinal Cortex; Transverse and Laminar Organization; Longitudinal Organization; Entorhinal Associational and Commissural System; Connections of the Dentate Gyrus; Mossy Fibre Projections to Hilus and CA3
