CA1 field
Acronym: CA1
The term CA1 field refers to one of three parts of the histologically defined CA fields in the functionally defined hippocampal complex (HPC). It is found in the human ( Insausti-2012 ), macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ), rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and mouse ( Hof-2000 ). The other CA fields are the CA2 field and CA3 field. While the gross topology of the HPC is strikingly different in primates and rodents, the CA1 field is consistently located between the CA2 field and the subiculum.
