Abstract
Detailed consideration of the architectonics, fiber connections, and neuronal structure of the cortex of Ammon's horn leads to a new division of this region into fields. Anatomical observations are presented to support the conception of the synapse as a center of summation with no refractory phase. The fact of overlapping of nerve paths is shown to make a point-to-point projection of one nucleus to a higher station anatomically impossible. Using the concept of summation, however, a hypothetical mechanism yielding a physiologic point-to-point projection can be demonstrated.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
