Meditation effects within the hippocampal complex revealed by voxel-based morphometry and cytoarchitectonic probabilistic mapping. [PDF]
, 2013 Scientific studies addressing anatomical variations in meditators' brains have emerged rapidly over the last few years, where significant links are most frequently reported with respect to gray matter (GM).

The Avian Hippocampal Formation and the Stress Response
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2017 Though widely studied for its function in memory and navigation, the hippocampal formation (HF) in mammals also plays an important role in regulating the stress response.

Neurobiology of Disease, 1999 Entorhinal cortex (EC), fascia dentata (FD), hippocampus (HP), and basal ganglia (BG) were studied in Rett syndrome (RS) cases and compared with control brains and an autism case. Kluver–Barrera and Golgi methods were used. In RS most of the areas of EC,

Change in background context disrupts performance on visual paired comparison following hippocampal damage [PDF]
, 2009 The medial temporal lobe plays a critical role in recognition memory but, within the medial temporal lobe, the precise neural structures underlying recognition memory remain equivocal. in this study, visual paired comparison (VPC) was used to investigate

PLoS ONE, 2016 Clinical evidence has shown that physical exercise during pregnancy may alter brain development and improve cognitive function of offspring. However, the mechanisms through which maternal exercise might promote such effects are not well understood.

Hippocampal lesions impair rapid learning of a continuous spatial alternation task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The hippocampus is essential for the formation of memories for events, but the specific features of hippocampal neural activity that support memory formation are not yet understood.

Morris Water Maze Learning in Two Rat Strains Increases the Expression of the Polysialylated Form of the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule in the Dentate Gyrus But Has No Effect on Hippocampal Neurogenesis [PDF]
, 2005 In the current study, the authors investigated whether Morris water maze learning induces alterations in hippocampal neurogenesis or neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) polysialylation in the dentate gyrus.

Food restriction reduces neurogenesis in the avian hippocampal formation
PLoS ONE, 2017 The mammalian hippocampus is particularly vulnerable to chronic stress. Adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus is suppressed by chronic stress and by administration of glucocorticoid hormones.

Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis: Regulation and Possible Functional and Clinical Correlates
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 The formation of new neurons in the adult central nervous system (CNS) has been recognized as one of the major findings in neuroanatomical research. The hippocampal formation (HF), one of the main targets of these investigations, holds a neurogenic niche

Hippocampal Somatostatin Interneurons, Long-Term Synaptic Plasticity and Memory
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 A distinctive feature of the hippocampal structure is the diversity of inhibitory interneurons. These complex inhibitory interconnections largely contribute to the tight modulation of hippocampal circuitry, as well as to the formation and coordination of
