An analysis of entorhinal cortex projections to the dentate gyrus, hippocampus, and subiculum of the neonatal macaque monkey

In: Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2013, p. -

The entorhinal cortex is the primary interface between the hippocampal formation and neocortical sources of sensory information. While much is known about the cells of origin, termination patterns and topography of the entorhinal projections to other fields of the adult hippocampal formation, very little is known about the development of these pathways, particularly in the human or nonhuman...

Intrinsic connections of the macaque monkey hippocampal formation: II. CA3 connections

Kondo, Hideki ; Lavenex, Pierre ; Amaral, David G.

In: The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2009, vol. 515, no. 3, p. 349 - 377

We examined the topographic organization of the connections of the CA3 field of the macaque monkey hippocampus. Discrete anterograde and retrograde tracer injections were made at various positions within CA3 and CA1. The projections from CA3 to CA1 (Schaffer collaterals), which terminate in the strata radiatum, pyramidale, and oriens, are present throughout the entire transverse extent of CA1....

Intrinsic connections of the macaque monkey hippocampal formation: I. Dentate gyrus

Kondo, Hideki ; Lavenex, Pierre ; Amaral, David G.

In: The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2008, vol. 511, no. 4, p. 497 - 520

We have carried out a detailed analysis of the intrinsic connectivity of the Macaca fascicularis monkey hippocampal formation. Here we report findings on the topographical organization of the major connections of the dentate gyrus. Localized anterograde tracer injections were made at various rostrocaudal levels of the dentate gyrus, and we investigated the three-dimensional organization of the...
