TL;DR
It is demonstrated that most of the pyramidal cells in field CA1 that project to the infralimbic area also send an axon collateral to the entorhinal area.
Abstract
A topographically organized input to layers I and V of the infralimbic area from the temporal half of field CA1 of Ammon's horn has been demonstrated in the rat with autoradiographic and fluorescent retrograde tracer methods. Double-labeling studies with the fluorescent dyes True blue and bisbenzimide indicate that most of the pyramidal cells in field CA1 that project to the infralimbic area also send an axon collateral to the entorhinal area. This is the first demonstration of a projection from Ammon's horn to a cortical region outside of the hippocampal formation.

The efferent connections of the hippocampal formation of the rat have been re‐examined autoradiographically following the injection of small quantities of 3H‐amino acids into different parts of Ammon's horn and the adjoining structures to indicate quite clearly that each component of the hippocampusal formation has a distinctive pattern ofefferent connections.

The caudal levels of the orbitofrontal area were found to give rise to an additional projection which terminated in the entorhinal cortex and the transitional cortices bordering the rhinal sulcus, providing a much more direct means for the frontal lobe to influence the hippocampus than those involving the cingulate gyrus.

In this investigation, the projections of the hippocampal formation to the septal area and hypothalamus were studied in the rat with the combined use of 3H-amino acid radioautography and horseradish peroxidase histochemistry to indicate that all of the fibers which project to the hypothalamus and the majority of fibers whichProject to the Septum arise from the subicular cortex.
