Last week we talked about hippocampal variability in the hippocampal head.
The hippocampal tail is another area of the hippocampus that can vary anatomically across individuals

But first, what do we mean by the hippocampal tail? Definitions vary, but one way to define the tail is the part of the hippocampus located posterior to the corpora quadrigemina (i.e. superior and inferior colliculi).

The hippocampal dentations that can be visualized in the hippocampal body on the sagittal plane (pointed out earlier by @thomcat992). But they can also often be seen in the coronal plane in the hippocampal tail (as shown by @lemwisse and colleagues).

When you look at a textbook diagram hippocampus, one sees a series of subfields - DG, CA3, and CA1. All of these regions have specialized properties relative to one another. But it raises the question: within each region, are the cell types uniform?

CA1 pyramidal cells of the rodent brain, one of the most studied neuron types in the brain, provide a good starting point to answer this question from both structural and functional perspectives.
