Article Abstract
Background: Human hippocampal area Cornu Ammonis (CA) 1 is one of the first fields in the human telencephalon showing Alzheimer disease (AD)-specific neuropathological changes. In contrast, CA2 and CA3 are far later affected pointing to functional differences, which may be accompanied by differences in proteome endowment and changes.
Methods: Human pyramidal cell layers of hippocampal areas CA1, CA2, and CA3 from neurologically unaffected individuals were excised using laser microdissection. The proteome of each individual sample was analyzed and differentially abundant proteins were validated by immuno-histochemistry.
Results: Comparison of CA1 to CA2 revealed 223, CA1 to CA3 197 proteins with differential abundance, among them we found motor proteins MYO5A and DYNC1H1. Extension of the study to human hippocampus slices from AD patients revealed extensive depletion of these proteins in CA1 area compared to unaffected controls.
Conclusion: High abundance of motor proteins in pyramidal cell layers CA1 compared to CA2 and CA3 points the specific vulnerability of this hippocampal area to transport-associated changes based on microtubule dysfunction and destabilization in AD.

Background: Radiotherapy inevitably cause cognitive dysfunction. We aim to explore a non-invasive, sensitive strategy for assessing radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction, using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and functional connectivity (FC), and to clarify the potential mechanisms from behavioral, histological, and molecular perspectives.
Methods: We employed a multimodal cross-validation strategy to evaluate cognitive dysfunction of C57BL/6j mice exposed to a single dose of 5 Gy or 15 Gy using a Co γ radiation source.

The CA3 region of the hippocampus is essential for associative memory. CA3 pyramidal neurons receive three canonical excitatory inputs-recurrent collaterals from other CA3 pyramidal neurons, mossy fiber input from the dentate gyrus (DG), and perforant path input from the entorhinal cortex-that terminate at specific dendritic compartments and have distinct functions. Yet, the additional extrahippocampal inputs to CA3 are less clear.

Hippocampal area CA2 is important for social recognition memory. It has classically been defined as the region between areas CA3 and CA1 where pyramidal cells have larger cell bodies than CA1 neurons, but lack mossy fiber input and thorny excrescences (TEs) typical for CA3 neurons. Based on molecular signatures, the borders of area CA2 have been redefined, with area CA2b now covering parts of former area CA3a.

Dry eye disease (DED) and depression exhibit high comorbidity, yet lipid and purine diagnostic biomarkers for depression-related DED remain unidentified. In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was employed to conduct, for the first time, localization analysis of small-molecule substances, within the CA1, CA2, CA3, and DG subregions of the hippocampal tissue in rats with depression-related DED. Our findings indicate that the 9-aminoacridine (9AA) matrix enabled visualization of over 120 diverse metabolites in each hippocampal region.

As a component of the limbic system, the hippocampal region, one of the deep structures of the medial temporal lobe, is a complex structure involved in a wide range of cognitive processes, including declarative memory, spatial memory, and emotional reactions. The subiculum, the dentate gyrus (DG), and the cornu of Ammonis (CA)-which includes the four subfields CA4, CA3, CA2, and CA1-make up the hippocampus. The hippocampus is known to have the lowest seizure threshold.
