The hippocampal formation is a compound structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It forms a c-shaped bulge on the floor of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle.[1] Typically, the hippocampal formation is said to included the dentate gyrus, the hippocampus, and the subiculum.[2] The presubiculum, parasubiculum, and the entorhinal cortex may also be included.[3] The hippocampal formation is thought to play a role in memory, spatial navigation and control of attention. The neural layout and pathways within the hippocampal formation are very similar in all mammals.[4]
