Hippocampus proper Hippocampus proper The hippocampus proper refers to the actual structure of the hippocampus which is made up of four regions or subfields. The subfields CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 use the initials of cornu Ammonis, an earlier name of the hippocampus. There are four regions in the hippocampus proper which form a neural circuit called the trisynaptic circuit. CA1 is the first region in the hippocampal circuit, from which a major output pathway goes to layer V of the entorhinal cortex. Another significant output is to the subiculum. CA2 is a small region located between CA1 and CA3. It receives
