For 10 points, name this region of the brain, associated with short term memory and named for a resemblance to a seashores.
"Thorny excrescences" in this structure are formed by a mossy fiber pathway and some pyramidal cells in it give off Schaffer axon collaterals. A route from fibers in the entorhinal cortex to parts of this structure is known as the perforant pathway and it is the beginning and end of the Papez circuit. The hilus is a part of its dentate gyrus and the fields CA1, CA2, and CA3 are part of the Horns of Amun in this structure. Anterograde amnesia is often associated with damage to this structure.
