CA1
CA1 is a region of the hippocampus, a brain structure critical for memory formation.
The abbreviation stands for "cornu ammonis 1," named for its resemblance to a ram's horn.
CA1 neurons are particularly vulnerable to oxygen deprivation and are heavily studied in neuroscience research on learning and memory: CA1 pyramidal cells showed increased activity during spatial navigation tasks.
