The Hippocampal Subfields Group
Hippocampal subfields are complex both in structure and function. To have a thorough understanding of both, we need to first come to consensus about how they can be anatomically delineated on MRI scans. Over the past decade, the Hippocampal Subfields Group (HSG) has collaborated with the neuroimaging community to develop a harmonized protocol for hippocampal subfield segmentation, more recently expanding these efforts to include the MTL cortex.
Check out our available resources
The HSG protocol for segmentation of the hippocampal body is now a published resource — see the HSG protocol page for documentation and downloads. Our paper on the protocol and its development is published in Hippocampus. The tail protocol is also now available as a preprint.
We've also published recommendations for image and segmentation quality checking using high-resolution T2 imaging, in Human Brain Mapping. A summary of these recommendations is available on the QC best practices page.
