MaguireSegmenting subregions of the human hippocampus on structural magnetic resonance image scans: An illustrated tutorialBrain and Neuroscience AdvancesFirst published date: April-06-201710.1177/2398212817701448 A snippet from the Abstract -" The hippocampus plays a central role in cognition, and understanding the specific contributions of its subregions will likely be key to explaining its wide-ranging functions. However, delineating substructures within the human hippocampus in vivo from magnetic resonance image scans is fraught with difficulties. To our knowledge, the extant literature contains only brief descriptions of segmentation procedures used to delineate hippocampal subregions in magnetic resonance imaging/functional magnetic resonance imaging studies.
