The hippocampus gets input from auditory and visual association areas in the ipsilateral hemisphere via the:
A) corpus callosum.
B) hippocampal commissure.
C) arcuate fasciculus.
D) perforant pathway.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perforant pathway is a major input pathway to the hippocampus, providing input from the entorhinal cortex which receives input from the auditory and visual association areas in the ipsilateral hemisphere. The corpus callosum, hippocampal commissure, and arcuate fasciculus are not directly involved in this pathway.
