The cornu ammonis, Latin for "horn of Ammon" or "ram's horn", is a rather idiosyncratically-named portion of the hippocampus, responsible for the limbic system and memory. Why the hell is it named this, other than to make it harder to remember? Why are so many other parts of the brain named after obscure modern scientists, instead of sensical names like "posterior hippocampus"? Sorry, if you aren't Langerhans or Henle, you're too late in discovering your organ. If anyone in the 20th c should get a part, it would be James Watson and Francis Crick, who would get "Cricky Spiral of Watsonian" in place of double helix.
I don't even do medicine and I dislike this.
