This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Only primates have temporal lobes, which are largest in man, accommodating 17% of the cerebral cortex and including areas with auditory, olfactory, vestibular, visual and linguistic functions. The hippocampal formation, on the medial side of the lobe, includes the parahippocampal gyrus, subiculum, hippocampus, dentate gyrus, and associated white matter, notably the fimbria, whose fibres continue into the fornix. The hippocampus is an inrolled gyrus that bulges into the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. Association fibres connect all parts of the cerebral cortex with the parahippocampal gyrus and subiculum, which in turn project to the dentate gyrus. The largest efferent projection of the subiculum and hippocampus is through the fornix to the hypothalamus. The choroid fissure, alongside the fimbria, separates the temporal lobe from the optic tract, hypothalamus and midbrain. The amygdala comprises several nuclei on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe, mostly anterior the hippocampus and indenting the tip of the temporal horn. The amygdala receives input from the olfactory bulb and from association cortex for other modalities of sensation.

Liang1, Andre J.W. van der Kouwe4, Jonathan Smallwood5, Andrea Bernasconi1,* » Neuroscience & Neda Bernasconi1,* The hippocampus is composed of distinct anatomical subregions that participate in multiple cognitive processes and are differentially affected in prevalent neurological and psychiatric conditions.

  • Acetylcholinesterase Fiber Staining in the Human Hippocampus and Parahippocampal Gyrms
    THE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY 273:488-499 (1988) Acetylcholinesterase Fiber Staining in the Human Hippocampus and Parahippocampal Gyrms ROBERT C. GREEN AND M-MARSEL MESULAM Division of Neuroscience and Behavioral Neurology, Beth Israel Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02215 ABSTRACT The AChE fiber distribution within the human hippocampus and para- hippocampal gyrus was studied in order to provide normative data for the examination of cholinergic fiberarchitecture in human pathology and to clarify the cytoarchitectonic organization of these structures. A modification of the Koelle method was used to stain temporal lobe serial sections from 6 neurologically normal human brains collected at autopsy. The hippocampal formation contains some ofthe densest staining of any cortical area. Regions with the heaviest concentrations of AChE fibers in- clude a thin band along the inner edge of the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus (ml-DG) and parts of the CA2, CA3, and CA4 sectors of Ammon's horn. Staining is of intermediate intensity in the CA1 region, The subiculum (S) is more lightly stained than the CA fields. Staining in the parahippocam- pal gyrus is generally less dense than in the hippocampal formation. The most conspicuous feature of the human entorhinal cortex (EC) is the AChE- rich fiber patches seen overlapping the stellate cell islands in layer 11. An additional band of relatively dense AChE staining is identified in layers N- V. Prominent AChE-rich polymorphic neurons are present within the hilum of the dentate gyrus. The CAlhubiculum transition in Nissl preparation is characterized by an oblique interdigitation of CA1 cells. The transition from EC to prorhinal cortex occurs along the medial bank of the rhinal sulcus and is characterized by a band of AChE staining, which slopes obliquely away from layer I1 until it joins an intermediate pyramidal cell layer.

  • Neuropathological Studies of Patients with Possible Non-Herpetic Acute Limbic Encephalitis and So-Called Acute Juvenile Female Non-Herpetic Encephalitis
    □ ORIGINAL ARTICLE □ Neuropathological Studies of Patients with Possible Non-Herpetic Acute Limbic Encephalitis and So-called Acute Juvenile Female Non-Herpetic Encephalitis Koichi Okamoto 1, Tsuneo Yamazaki 1, Haruhiko Banno 2,GenSobue2, Mari Yoshida 3 and Masamitsu Takatama 4 Abstract Objective This study was to clarify the neuropathological findings of non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE) and so-called acute juvenile female non-herpetic encephalitis (AJFNHE). Methods We examined three rare autopsied cases consisting of probable one NHALE and two AJFNHLE. For comparison, we also studied 10 autopsied cases of hippocampal sclerosis mainly caused by anoxia. Results In NHALE, neuronal loss with gliosis and microglia/macrophage infiltrations were mainly seen in the CA1 areas in the hippocampus. However, there were no apparent anoxic neuronal changes in the remain- ing neurons in the CA1, and astrocyte proliferations and microglia/macrophage infiltrations were also ob- served in the claustrum, while these were mildly present in the basal ganglia. In AJFNHE, pathological find- ings differed from those of NHALE with regard of the absence of limited pathology in the limbic system, microglia/macrophages widely infiltrated the brain including the hippocampal areas and mild lymphocytic in- filtrations were observed in the subarachnoid spaces as well as in the parenchyma. Conclusions The pathomechanism of NHALE and AJFNHE is obscure and autoimmune theory is pro- posed, however we must collect and examine many autopsied cases in order to clarify the pathomechanism.

  • Alterations of Hippocampal Acetylcholinesterase in Human
    Alterations of H~ppocampal Acetylcholmesterase in Human Temporal bbe Epilepsy Robert C. Green, MD,X Howard W. Blume, MD, PhD,? Seth B. Kupferschmid, MS," and M-Marsel Mesulam, MD" Hippocampal sclerosis is the most common pathological finding associated with human temporal lobe epilepsy. His- tochemical study with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) staining was used to investigate 7 surgically resected temporal lobes with hippocampal sclerosis from patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. In all 7 specimens, an abnormal but consistent pattern of staining was noted. In the hilum of the dentate gyrus, AChE-rich polymorphic cells were relatively preserved in comparison to the pyramidal neurons. In Ammon's horn, AChE fibers were lost in regions corresponding to the pyramidal cell dropout. AChE fibers were also lost along the inner portion of the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, yet they were preserved within the outer portions of the molecular layer. These findings provide additional evidence for the relative selectivity of hippocampal pathology in human temporal lobe epilepsy. Green RC, Blume HW, Kupferschmid SB, Mesulam M-M.
