Background: The hippocampal formation is a highly specialized medial temporal lobe structure that supports episodic memory, spatial navigation, and context-dependent learning through a tightly organized laminar architecture and stereotyped intrinsic circuitry. Its neuroanatomy is defined by distinct subfields—dentate gyrus, cornu ammonis (CA1–CA4), and the subicular complex—eachcharacterized by unique cytoarchitecture, microcircuit motifs
