STRUCTURAL MANIFESTATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL HIPPOCAMPO-CORTICAL CONNECTIONS IN HUMANS
Author(s): Mustapha Akhdar* The human brain is a complex network of interconnected regions that collaborate to support cognitive processes and memory formation. The hippocampus, a crucial hub for episodic memory and spatial navigation, and the cortical areas, responsible for higher-order cognitive functions, are intricately intertwined. These hippocampal-cortical connections suggest that asymmetry in the hippocampal neuronal activity may directly influence the formation of synaptic connections among cortical neurons, thus modulating the processes of neuroplasticity and triggering the formation of cortical functional and morphological asymmetry. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the association between hippocampus size and cortical area sizes, shedding light on their synergistic interplay in supporting cognitive processes. Four human brain specimens (2 male, 2 female) were utilized, .. Read More» DOI: 10.54615/2231-7805.47390
