hippocampal formation in dogs

Hippocampus (proper) plus dentate gyrus and subiculum[definition derived from NIF comments and ontology alignment]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the hippocampal formation is

Hippocampus (proper) plus dentate gyrus and subiculum[definition derived from NIF comments and ontology alignment]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the hippocampal formation is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the hippocampal formation connects to

The atlas records 16 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, brain and cerebral cortex, and 2 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the hippocampal formation. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as hippocampus (Crosby), hippocampus, archipallium, formatio hippocampi, major hippocampus and primal cortex, and 1 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the hippocampal formation?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the hippocampal formation connect to?

Part of: anatomical entity, brain, cerebral cortex, nervous system and telencephalon.

Is the hippocampal formation the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
