| The hippocampus, fornix, and mamillary bodies have an integral role in memory and learning. |
| In general, in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, large pyramidal neurons exhibited the greatest degree of intracellular staining. |
| The hippocampus has output to the mamillary bodies and onto the anterior nucleus of the thalamus. |
| The configuration of white and gray matter of the dentate gyrus and hippocampus is distinctive. |
| In kangaroo rats and some vole species, investigators have found that male brains have a slightly larger hippocampus. |
| Axons of neurons in the hippocampus run in a tract called the fornix, which ends on neurons in the mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus. |
