Alterations in
Hippocampal Formation of Children Suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Loss of asymmetry of
hippocampal formation was observed in posttraumatic stress disorder patients (27).
Reduced spinophilin but not microtubule-associated protein 2 expression in the
hippocampal formation in schizophrenia and mood disorders: molecular evidence for a pathology of dendritic spines.
Homing in pigeons: the role of the
hippocampal formation in the representation of landmarks used for navigation.
340), that stress and trauma trigger the release of hormones that can damage the
hippocampal formation.

hippocampal formation in subjects with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder," Neurochemical Research, vol.
Besides affecting the hypothalamus and other brain areas related to reproduction, ovarian steroids have widespread effects throughout the brain, on serotonin pathways, catecholaminergic neurons, and the basal forebrain cholinergic system as well as the
hippocampal formation, a brain region involved in spatial and declarative memory.

hippocampal formation," Journal of Comparative Neurology, vol.
Detailed three-dimensional (3D) morphological studies of microglia in the
hippocampal formation of birds are not available, and only a single stereological analysis (glia and neurons) has been published (8).
Moreover, this technique reveals the anatomical features of the
hippocampal formation at an unprecedented level of detail, providing the basis for hippocampal subfield measurement.
The sections were examined under a light microscope for two purposes, to determine the location of the injection needle tips and to assess for the integrity of the
hippocampal formation. The integrity of the hippocampal pyramidal and granular fields was assessed using light microscopy.
Research with animals has shown that a long term exposure to glucocorticoids destroys the neurons located in the
hippocampal formation by decreasing the entry of glucose and decreasing the reuptake of glutamate.
