The connectivity of the hippocampus is essential to its functions. To gain a whole system view of intrahippocampal connectivity, ex vivo mesoscale (100 μm isotropic resolution) multi-shell diffusion MRI (11.7T) and tractography were performed on entire post-mortem human right hippocampi. Volumetric measurements indicated that the head region was largest followed by the body and tail regions. A unique anatomical organization in the head region reflected a complex organization of the granule cell layer (GCL) of the dentate gyrus. Tractography revealed the volumetric distribution of the perforant path, including both the tri-synaptic and temporoammonic pathways, as well as other well-established canonical connections, such as Schaeffer collaterals. Visualization of the perforant path provided a means to verify the borders between the pro-subiculum and CA1, as well as between CA1/CA2. A specific angularity of different layers of fibers in the alveus was evident across the whole sample and allowed a separation of afferent and efferent connections based on their origin (i.e. entorhinal cortex) or destination (i.e. fimbria) using a cluster analysis of streamlines. Non-canonical translamellar connections running along the anterior-posterior axis were also discerned in the hilus. In line with “dentations” of the GCL, mossy fibers were bunching together in the sagittal plane revealing a unique lamellar organization and connections between these. In the head region, mossy fibers projected to the origin of the fimbria, which was distinct from the body and tail region. Mesoscale tractography provides an unprecedented systems view of intrahippocampal connections that underpin cognitive and emotional processing.
