Description
This high quality reference volume is the result of a number of up-to-date contributions selected on strict scientific criteria. Being of interest to neuroscientists in general, the work focusses on results heightening understanding of the structure and function of the CNS, whilst exploring the extent to which the findings made in the hippocampus can be extrapolated to other brain regions. The book has been compiled as a tribute to Professor Theodor W. Blackstad and his pioneering work on the anatomy of the hippocampal region. His outstanding contribution to science has undoubtedly influenced most of the many neuroscientists who today use the hippocampal region as a model in their research.
Table of Contents
Content Headings: Preface. A unique neuroanatomist and human being. (Haug et al). 1. Neurons, numbers and the hippocampal network. (D.G. Amaral, N.I. and B. Claiborne). 2. A quantitative comparison of the hippocampal subdivisions of diverse species including hedgehogs, laboratory rodents, wild mice, and men. (M.J. West). 3. Two different ways evolution makes neurons larger. (J.M. Bekkers and C.F. Stevens). 4. The subiculum. Cytoarchitectonically a simple structure, but hodologically complex. (M.P. Witter and H.J. Groenewegen). 5. Subicular projections to the hypothalamus and brain stem: Some novel aspects revealed in the rat by the anterograde Phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinin (PHA-L) tracing method. (C. Kohler). 6. Zinc-containing neurons in the hippocampus and related CNS structures. (C. Frederickson and G. Danscher). 7. Immunocytochemical demonstration of the calcium-binding proteins calbindin-D 28K and parvalbumin in the hippocampus and dentate area of the domestic pig. (I.E. Holm, F.A. Geneser, J. Zimmer and K.G. Baimbridge). 8. A quantitative electron microscopic immunocytochemical study of the distribution and synaptic handling of glutamate in rat hippocampus. (O.P. Ottersen, J. Storm-Mathisen, C.
