This neuroscience video will help you to understand the structures/anatomy and the functions of the hippocampus located within the medial temporal lobe of the limbic system. The trisynaptic circuity is the pathway of memory transmission in the hippocampus which is explained in the video.

The hippocampus is part of the hippocampal formation which includes the dentate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, and hippocampal gyrus. The hippocampal gyrus contains areas such as the entorhinal cortex and subiculum, which are both vital in the flow of information through the hippocampus.

The hippocampus is divided into CA1 to CA4 regions which stands for cornu ammonis. This is the area of the brain which has a very important role in memory due to the high levels of NMDA glutamatergic receptors located in the CA1 Schaffer collateral neurons. The synaptic plasticity of these neurons heavily relies on long-term potentiation (LTP) induction to allow the strengthening of declarative memory (which includes two types of implicit memory such as episodic and semantic memory – Facts and events).

The trisynaptic circuit receives sensory input from the cortical regions of the brain which enters via the entorhinal cortex. This projects via the perforant pathway to the dentate gyrus, then to the CA3 region via the mossy fiber pathway to future travel to the CA3 neurons through the Schaffer collateral pathway. Finally, this signal is outputted from the subiculum to the rest of the various areas of the brain such as the Fornix (which can loop back to the entorhinal cortex).

If the sensory input is very strong and is repeated multiple times, LTP will be induced to increase synaptic connections. This allows the trisynaptic system to occur more rapidly next time.
