About the journal
Hippocampus provides a forum for the exchange of current information between investigators interested in the neurobiology of the hippocampal formation and related structures. While the relationships of submitted papers to the hippocampal formation will be evaluated liberally, the substance of appropriate papers should deal with the hippocampal formation per se or with the interaction between the hippocampal formation and other brain regions. The scope of the journal is wide: single and multidisciplinary experimental studies from all fields of basic science, theoretical papers, papers dealing with hippocampal preparations as models for understanding the central nervous system, and clinical studies will be considered for publication. The Editor especially encourages the submission of papers that contribute to a functional understanding of the hippocampal formation.
Instructions to Authors
Forms of Manuscripts Papers reporting original research will be the major substance of the journal, but occasional short Commentaries will also be published. The Commentaries will be of three types: Historical Reviews of individual careers or areas of research; Updating Reviews that briefly summarize the state of knowledge in a particular subject area; and Speculative Reviews, in which new perspectives or hypotheses are outlined. The Speculative Reviews may take the form of Point-Counterpoint presentations by two or more authors with differing viewpoints on a topic area. The publication of a Commentary in Hippocampus will normally follow an invitation to the author(s) from the Editor. However, anyone interested in contributing a Commentary or suggesting a topic for one is invited to contact the Editor. The Editor also wishes to encourage neurobiologists to contribute to the journal by writing short letters, which will be considered for publication in a separate Letters to the Editor section. This section will provide a medium for communication and discussion, not only of points that arise from papers published in Hippocampus, but also of topics of general interest to the readership of the journal. The Editor reserves the right to invite replies or comments to such letters at his discretion.
Preparation of the Manuscript The manuscripts should be typed double-spaced throughout with a 1" (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. All pages should be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page. The original manuscript should be single-sided, but the 4 copies preferably double-sided. One set of high quality illustrations should be submitted for the printer. Please see Preparation of Illustrations section for details on size and format. For the reviewers' copies, good quality photocopies of line drawings are acceptable. Reviewers' copies of halftone illustrations, however, should be submitted as high quality photographic prints. Manuscripts should be written using standard American spelling. The spelling of nontechnical terms should preferably follow that indicated in Webster's Third International Dictionary. The numbers one through nine should be spelled out; Arabic numerals should be used for numbers greater than nine and units of time and measure. All numbers should be spelled out when they appear as the first word of a sentence. Abbreviations should never be used at the beginning of a sentence.
Research papers should include a Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, References, Acknowledgments, Figure Legends, and Tables. Footnotes should not be used. If absolutely essential, they should be incorporated in the text, in parentheses.
Title Page. The Title Page should include the complete title of the paper, together with the name(s) of the author(s) and institutional affiliations (to department level); a running (abbreviated) title, not exceeding 60 characters and spaces; the number of text pages, figures, and tables; and the name, full address, telephone number, and, if appropriate, telefax number and/or E-mail address of the author to whom correspondence, including proofs, should be sent, and all grant information in the following format: Grant sponsor:______; Grant number:______. A list of five key words that do not occur in the title should be included for abstracting purposes. The title should represent the contents of the paper and should not include technical jargon, chemical formulas, or arbitrary abbreviations.
Abstract. The Abstract should be clearly written in 300 words or less and should succinctly state the objectives of the study, experimental design, major observations and conclusions, and their major significance. The abstract should be intelligible to neuroscientists in general and should thus be free of specialized jargon and abbreviations. References should generally not be cited in the abstract, but if they are, the complete citation should be given (e.g., Conti F et al., J Comp Neurol 1994; 343:554¨C565).
Introduction. The Introduction section should provide sufficient background information to make clear the rationale and objectives of the reported studies. Extensive literature reviews are generally not necessary.
Materials and Methods. The Materials and Methods section should be concise but should adequately describe experimental procedures to allow for replication of the reported experiments. Wherever possible, references should be made to published protocols. Excessively detailed descriptions of widely used techniques or details of procedures that will not be of general interest to the reader should be avoided. Submission of a paper to Hippocampus implies that all animal experimentation reported in the paper has been conducted in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the NIH (NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals) in the USA or by the European Communities Council. When human subjects are used, adequate documentation should be included in the manuscript that the experiments were undertaken with the understanding and consent of each subject. It is assumed that with the publication of a paper in Hippocampus the authors will make available, whenever possible, reagents, such as antibodies, that were used in the research and are not commercially available.
Results and Discussion. In the Results section, findings should be described without discussion of their significance. Authors are encouraged to use subheadings to clarify the organization of this section. In the Discussion, authors should provide an interpretation and validation of their findings, conclusions, and their significance in relation to previously published work. Repetition of the results or extensive review of the literature should be avoided.

It is the responsibility of the author(s) that each reference in the text appears in the References section and that each reference listed in this section is correct and cited in the text. References should be cited in the text by author's name followed by year of publication, thus: Ben-Ari (1981) or (Ben-Ari, 1981); Squire and Zola (1983) or (Squire and Zola, 1983). In the case that there are more than two co-authors: Lopes da Silva et al. (1989) or (Lopes da Silva et al., 1989). A typical citation should follow the form: Data reported by Ben-Ari (1981) have recently been confirmed by others (Lopes da Silva et al., 1989). When more than one reference is cited, the references should be listed in chronological order. A paper that is in preparation or submitted to a journal but not yet accepted for publication should not be included in the References section; reference to a paper of this type should be cited as "unpublished observations", and the initials and surname(s) must be listed in the text for the author(s) whose unpublished experiments are cited.
In the References section, papers should be listed in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author. In the case of several references with the same first author but more than one co-author, the references should be listed in chronological order. When references are made to more than one paper by the same first author published in the same year, the postfix a, b, c, etc., should be used both in the text and in the References section; for papers published in different years, the references should be listed in chronological order. The name of the author(s) should be followed by the full title of the paper, and the complete source of the reference (abbreviations of journals should follow those used in Index Medicus), including the year of publication, volume number, and the first and last pages. The form used in the References section should be the following:

Preparation of Illustrations. Illustrations submitted for publication should be the exact size that they will appear in print. The size of illustrations should not exceed the dimensions of the journal itself (7" x 9 3/8", or 17.8 cm x 23.8 cm). All figures, both line drawings and halftones, should be appropriately lettered and labeled. Lettering should remain at least 1/4" (6 mm) from the edges of figures to allow for trimming. All figures (both the printer's and reviewer's copies) should be identified on the reverse side with the author(s) name, figure number, and the orientation (top) of the illustration. Halftone photographic prints for reproduction should generally be submitted on glossy paper. It is preferable that prints be submitted unmounted. If they must be mounted, thin, flexible mounting board should be used. The cost for printing color art is $950 for the first page and $500 for each additional page up to four pages. The cost will be higher if the color art is submitted other than as specified above. Line drawings can be submitted on any media on which they are sharp and have maximum contrast. Figures considered to be of insufficient quality for publication will be returned to the author(s) for correction. All figures must be referred to in the text and must be numbered and cited consecutively (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.). Each figure should be accompanied by an explanatory legend that makes the illustration understandable without need for reference to the text. Legends for several figures may be typed on the same sheet of paper. If the corresponding author would like to have the original illustrations returned, this should be stated when the proofs are returned to the publisher.
Preparation of Tables. Each table should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate piece of paper. The table should include an informative title and a legend that makes the table comprehensible without resorting to the text. Each column in the table should have a heading, and the columns should be formatted to be easily distinguishable by the compositor. If the table is highly complex, it should be submitted in camera-ready form so as to avoid introduction of errors during typesetting that would be difficult to detect in the proofreading stage. In this case, tables should be prepared using the same considerations one would apply to a line drawing illustration. All tables must be referred to in the text and must be numbered and cited consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.).
Units, Symbols, and Abbreviations . For symbols of physical units, the SI system (Syst¨¨me International d' Unit¨¦s) should be used. Abbreviations should not be used excessively in the text, and in all cases the word or words to be abbreviated should be written in full on the first occurrence, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. The same abbreviations should be used in both the text and figures. If many abbreviations are used, including those used repeatedly in the tables or figures, they should be listed on a separate sheet, entitled Abbreviations.
Guidelines for Electronic Submission The Journal strongly encourages authors to submit all version's of their manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on diskette. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a diskette will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the diskette submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled diskette(s).
Text Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density diskette in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared using any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript using one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all diskettes with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
Authors are encouraged to visit http://cpc.cadmus.com/da/ for supported artwork formats.
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CYMK color space. If possible, ICC/ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate diskettes or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density diskettes, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5-1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and diskettes will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all diskettes and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
