CA3 field
Acronym: CA3
The term CA3 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 CA1 field and CA2 field. While the gross topology of the HPC is strikingly different in primates and rodents, the CA3 field is consistently located between the CA2 field and the dentate gyrus.. Updated 28 May 2024.
