Cornu ammonia (CA) is part of the limbic system and one of the main components of the
hippocampus. There is one in each hemisphere and it has an "outside seahorse" appearance.
CA regions contain bodies, dendrites, and axons of nerve cells. Thanks to the CA regions,
which have this complex neural network, it is possible for the hippocampus to perform its
functions, and information flow is provided between the nerve cells.
In this statement; Information will be given about the cells of the CA region in the
hippocampus and the connections of these regions with each other will be mentioned. By
illuminating the cells and structure of CA, it is aimed to shed some light on the treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
As a result of our literature review, we came to the conclusion that more studies should be
done at the molecular level to recognize CA cells.
In conclusion; It is known that the hippocampus plays an important role in many different
types of central nervous system pathologies. To have a better memory and offer a solution to
dementia, CA neurons in the hippocampus need to be investigated in detail. To understand the
main cause of many neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and dementia, first of all, the
functions, structures, and complex neural networks of CA cells need to be fully elucidated.
Thus, it will help us to understand the pathogenesis of these diseases more clearly. We believe
that examining the hippocampus and CAs at the molecular level using immunohistochemical
and biochemical methods can make important contributions to the literature.
