Abstract
The hippocampus is one of the most widely investigated brain regions with its massive contributions to multiple behaviours. Especially, the hippocampus is subdivided into the dorsal and ventral parts playing distinct roles. In this review, we will focus on the ventral hippocampus, especially the ventral CA1 (vCA1), whose role is being actively discovered. vCA1 is well known to be associated with emotion-like behaviour, in both positive (reward) and negative (aversive) stimuli. How can this small region in volume mediate such variety of responses? This question will be answered with technologies up to date that have allowed us to study in-depth the specific neural circuit and to map the complex connectivity.
期刊介绍:
Genes, Brain and Behavior was launched in 2002 with the aim of publishing top quality research in behavioral and neural genetics in their broadest sense. The emphasis is on the analysis of the behavioral and neural phenotypes under consideration, the unifying theme being the genetic approach as a tool to increase our understanding of these phenotypes.
Genes Brain and Behavior is pleased to offer the following features:
8 issues per year
online submissions with first editorial decisions within 3-4 weeks and fast publication at Wiley-Blackwells
High visibility through its coverage by PubMed/Medline, Current Contents and other major abstracting and indexing services
Inclusion in the Wiley-Blackwell consortial license, extending readership to thousands of international libraries and institutions
A large and varied editorial board comprising of international specialists.
