This structure is the end and essentially the start of the Papez circuit. Match-Mismatch comparisons are carried out by this by two of its parts linked by Schaffer collaterals, the CA1 and CA3 areas. In was in this structure that an exceptionally lasting increase of the amplitude of (*) EPSPs between two cells due to stimulating them together was discovered. That process usually requires the glutamate receptor NMDA. In addition to being the site of long term potentiation and place cells, it contains Ammon's horn and a site that is known for high rates of neurogenesis. It is used in forming spatial maps. Damage to this component of the brain can cause anterograde amnesia because it is needed to store memories. For 10 points, name this member of the limbic system with a name meaning "seahorse."
