Various specimens
Specimen jars containing various sea and land creatures

Limbic system, artwork
Limbic system. Artwork of the anatomical structures of the limbic system of the brain. It is found at the centre of the cerebrum

Fear response. Computer artwork of how the human brain reacts to a frightening stimulus, in this case the sighting of a snake

Neurogenesis, artwork
Neurogenesis. Artwork of an adult brain, revealing neurogenesis (nerve cell synthesis) sites. It was once believed that adult brains could not synthesise new neurons (nerve cells)

Hippocampal neurons, SEM
Hippocampal neurons. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of neurons (nerve cells, brown) in the hippocampus of the brain

Brain anatomy, 3D artwork
Brain anatomy. 3D artwork of a cut-away model of the human brain. At bottom is the brainstem, which controls automatic functions

Hippocampal neuron fluorescent micrograph
Hippocampal neuron. Fluorescent micrograph of a neuron (nerve cell, centre) from the hippocampus, surrounded by glial cells (support cells)

Human head, artwork
Human head. Computer artwork of a human head showing the skull, cervical (neck) vertebrae and brain inside

1880 George Rolleston zoologist cartoon
George Rolleston, physician and zoologist (1829-1881). Large cartoon watercolour ink wash drawing signed RPP 1881. Original in collection of Paul D. Stewart

1863 Huxley Mans Place in Nature skulls
Desktop including two contrasting human skulls, a chimpanzee skull, and a first edition of Huxleys 1863 " Evidence as to Mans Place in Nature"

Hippocampus neuron, TEM
Hippocampus neuron. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a neuron from the hippocampus, a structure in the brain responsible for long-term memory

Short-term memory mechanisms, artwork
Short-term memory mechanisms. Artwork showing the neural signals (yellow arrows) in short-term memory storage. The signals travel between the eyes, the thalamus (orange), the hippocampus (red)

Estuarine seahorse (Hippocampus sp.). Estuary seahorses are often found at the mouths of rivers in brackish water. Photographed in the Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia

Human brain, artwork
Human brain anatomy. Computer artwork of a persons head showing the brain with the right hemisphere removed. The following regions can be seen: outer cortex (red) somatosensory cortex (lighter)

Human brain anatomy, artwork

The hippocampus, a vital part of the brain tissue, plays a crucial role in memory and spatial navigation. Nestled within the basal ganglia, this intricate structure resembles an artwork crafted by nature itself. Just like lined seahorses gracefully swimming amongst vibrant corals in The Bahamas, the hippocampus is surrounded by a network of blood vessels that ensure its nourishment. Intriguingly, the skeleton of a seahorse reveals the remarkable structure of bones, mirroring the complexity found within our own brains. Similarly captivating are three types of pipefish and a seahorse coexisting harmoniously underwater, showcasing nature's diversity. Nature never ceases to amaze us as we witness male Korean seahorses giving birth off Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan. Meanwhile, thorny seahorses navigate through muck and rubble substrates in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi - their resilience reminding us of life's challenges. Historically significant too is Giovanni Battista Scultori's depiction of Trojans repulsing Greeks - perhaps symbolizing how our hippocampus safeguards cherished memories against external threats. From Ponza Island to Italy's shores lies another enchanting sight: short-snouted seahorses proudly displaying their unique features amidst picturesque landscapes. Equally mesmerizing is an adult female spiny seahorse thriving among meadows of Zostera marina. Just like these fascinating creatures inhabiting our oceans' depths with grace and beauty, so does our hippocampus reside within us – silently orchestrating cognitive functions essential for human existence.
