The Hippocampus Review

摘要

The Hippocampus Book—with a gestation period of 20 years, written by a team of 23 researchers, styled by 5 editors, weighing nearly 6 pounds, and running over 850 pages—summarizes 50 years of anatomical, physiological, and behavioral research on the sea horse-shaped structure buried deep within the brain's medial temporal lobe. It is, however, much more than a reference work. The book also captures the lore of the field and will serve as a reliable guide for the next generation of hippocampologists.
