Abstract
THE ARTERIAL supply of the hippocampus has attracted attention ever since Uchimura's23work in 1928. He set out to prove that the different sensitivity to anoxia of the Sommer21sector (roughly equivalent to Rose's17sector h1), the resistant band of Spielmeyer (Rose's sector h2), and the end plate (Rose's sectors h3, h4, h5) of the pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus was due to differences in arterial supply. The selective loss of neurones and resultant gliosis in cases of long-standing epilepsy could so be accounted for. Especially with these views in mind, human material was examined by Altschul,1Heiman,9and Van den Bergh.4Lorente de No12examined cats, Scharrer19the opossum, and Nilges15the opossum, guinea-pig, rabbit, cat, and oneMacaca mulatta. Heiman9discovered that the primary branches supplying the hippocampus from the posteriorKeywords
