Subiculum

The main output region of the hippocampal formation, connecting the hippocampus to other brain regions and playing a role in memory consolidation and spatial navigation.

Key Functions:

• Main output of the hippocampal formation.
• Involved in memory consolidation and retrieval.
• Plays a role in spatial navigation and head direction.
• Projects to the mammillary bodies via the fornix and to the prefrontal cortex.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Hippocampus (functionally connected to)
• Limbic System (part of)
• Fornix (output pathway)
• Memory (involved in)
• Spatial Navigation (contributes to)
