Woolley and McEwen linked estradiol administration to an increase in this structure's dendritic spinesand excitatory synapses. The entorhinal cortex sends information to this structure via a bundle of axonscalled the perforant path. O'Keefe showed that place cells in this structure selectively respond to particularlocations in an environment. This structure consists of two sheets called the dentate gyrus and Ammon'shorn. Damage to this structure results in retrograde amnesia. For 10 points, name this region of the brain
