I think the phylogenetic history of the hippocampus should be extended and moved to its own section. "Emergence from the archipallium" is a bit technical. Maybe this needs some introductory explanation. Washington irving 10:15, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Maybe, we should use more accessible phrases such as "more recent in evolutionary terms" rather than "phylogenetically younger".
Hippocampus and penis size
Does anyone have any cites for the claim about the relationship between hippocampus and penis length? If so it should be expanded and made more clear if not we should delete the reference to this somewhat dubious sounding claim.
Hippocampus
Is there any physical link between the Hippocampus and the Hypothalamus? That is, are they or aren't they indepedent of one another? --Tothebarricades.tk 03:56, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
- There is a physical link between both. There are a number of fiber track that run through the lateral hypothalamus to the fornix and into the hippocampus. This physical data has also been shown behavioraly through fear conditioning studies. Goferwiki 10:18, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
