This research aims to elucidate the pathways through which the hippocampal subiculum projects to various brain regions in primates.
Investigated the intrinsic hippocampal efferents originating from the subiculum
Mapped connections to the medial frontal cortex, caudal cingulate gyrus, parahippocampal area, and amygdala
Examined subcortical projections to the septum and diencephalon
Identified that the subiculum sends efferents to the medial frontal cortex and caudal cingulate gyrus
Established connections to the parahippocampal area and amygdala
Documented subcortical connections to the septum and diencephalon

Resumen

The subiculum of the primate hippocampal formation stands at the end of a polarized sequence of intrinsic hippocampal efferents and is the source of efferents to the medial frontal cortex, the caudal cingulate gyrus, and the parahippocampal area and amygdala in the temporal lobe. In addition, the subiculum sends subcortical efferents to the septum and diencephalon.
