Abstract:The primeval function of the mammalian hippocampus (HPC) remains uncertain. Implicated in learning and memory, spatial navigation, and neuropsychological disorders, evolutionary theory suggests that the HPC evolved from a primeval chemosensory epithelium. Internal sensing deficits in patients with HPC lesions argue that internal sensing may be conserved in higher vertebrates. We studied the expression of 250 endocrine receptors in mouse brain. Key findings are (i) the proportions and levels of endocrine recept… Show more
