The Hippocampus is an area of the cerebral cortex that is not included in the neocortex. It is less evolved than the neocortex and contains only three layers of cells. The hippocampus ("sea horse") is located within the medial aspect of the temporal lobe. When viewed in a coronal section, the shape of the hippocampus resembles that of a sea horse as it folds within itself into the temporal lobe. More information on the structure and function of the hippocampus is provided in Tutorial 37.
