Section of neural mural of the hippocampus at PSU - 3rd floor skybridge between Cramer & Smith

Mural signage: Mural inspired by the drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, an artist and founder of the field of neuroscience. These are the cells and circuits of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for creating memories.
Your hippocampus links this current moment with related experiences from your past. What are you reminded of as you follow the neural pathways above? What forgotten landscape, what long-lost story, is called home by the beauty of these striking, vital connections?
