Working in Walther Spielmeyer\u2019s Munich laboratory (1925\u20131927), Uchimura sought evidence for a vascular theory of Ammon\u2019s horn sclerosis (AHS). He described an artery supplying the vulnerable sector of the hippocampus, where pathognomonic changes of AHS were noted, and characterized the artery as particularly susceptible to circulatory disturbances. Discovery of this artery led to new concepts and new terminology pertaining to the hippocampus. In addition to having a distinguished career in psychiatry and academia (including a position as University of Tokyo dean), Uchimura was, before attending medical school, one of Japan\u2019s best baseball pitchers; he was eventually named Nippon Professional Baseball Organization commissioner and inducted into the Japan Baseball Hall of Fame. Uchimura\u2019s description of hippocampal vasculature, which is still subject to debate after nearly a century, brought international attention to AHS and epilepsy and showed the hippocampal vasculature to be variable and vulnerable; important considerations for later neurosurgeons in the development of selective mesial temporal surgery. Prominent figures in neurosurgery have since developed classification systems for the hippocampal vasculature in which the artery of Uchimura remains central. Perhaps no other brain artery has been the nexus for such intense investigation and debate about its association to structure, function, disease, and treatment methodology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2023.2.jns221963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,1]],"date-time":"2023-04-01T00:22:59Z","timestamp":1680308579000},"page":"1128-1139","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Artery of Uchimura: origin and evolution of identification of the vascular supply to the hippocampus"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"139","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Tayebi Meybodi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Mignucci-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Loyal and Edith Davis Neurosurgical Research Laboratory, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Loyal and Edith Davis Neurosurgical Research Laboratory, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark C.","family":"Preul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Loyal and Edith Davis Neurosurgical Research Laboratory, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"b1","series-title":"J Neuropathol Exp Neurol","first-page":"223","article-title":"Compression of brain arteries as pathogenetic factor for tissue necroses and their areas of predilection","volume":"14","author":"Lindenberg R","year":"1955","unstructured":"Lindenberg R.
