[edit] Rearranging
I've moved much of the content of the anatomy section, and all of the content of the "hippocampal subfields" page, into a new "hippocampus anatomy" section, leaving behind the things I thought a non-specialist reader would most like to know. Reason: because more anatomy is needed, and this page would have become too large and awkward. Looie496 (talk) 16:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Plans
This is a pretty sketchy article given the importance of the topic. I'm going to do some editing over the next few days to try to get into a bit better shape. I'm also going to archive the stale discussion here, in order to clear the ground a bit. Looie496 (talk) 03:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hippocampus and Sexual Dimorphism
I've previously read that the hippocampus is the most sexually dimorphic brain region, being significantly larger in men than in women. In fact, I'm sure I read this on wikipedia a while ago. Did there not use to be an entire "sexual dimorphism in the brain" page (not sure on the actual title)? I know this topic is controversial, and some findings have been refuted or challenged, but sexual dimorphism in the brain seems to have almost completely disappeared from wikipedia. I thought the difference between male and female hippocampi was fairly well established, but there's no mention of it here at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.165.192 (talk) 16:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Not familiar with this. Can you give an authoritative reference? Looie496 (talk) 03:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
