[[File:Hippocampus.gif|thumb|400px|The hippocampal Network: The hippocampus forms a principally uni-directional network, with input from the Entorhinal Cortex (EC) tht forsms connections with the Dentate Gyrus (DG) and CA3 pyramidal neurons via the Perforant Path (PP - split into lateral and medial). CA3 neurons also receive input from the DG via the Mossy Fibres (MF). They send axons to CA1 pyramidal cells via the Schaffer Collateral Pathway (SC), as well as to CA1 cells in the contralateral hippocampus via the Associational Commisural (AC) Pathway. CA1 neurons also receive inputs direct from the Perforant Path and send axons to the Subiculum (Sb). These neurons in turn send the main hippocampal output back to the EC, forming a loop.]] | [[File:Hippocampus.gif|thumb|400px|The hippocampal Network: The hippocampus forms a principally uni-directional network, with input from the Entorhinal Cortex (EC) tht forsms connections with the Dentate Gyrus (DG) and CA3 pyramidal neurons via the Perforant Path (PP - split into lateral and medial).
