This special issue on comparative hippocampal formation (HF) functional organization offers a range of perspectives examining how HF anatomy, physiology and cognitive function vary across a range of avian and mammalian species. What is important about this collection of papers is the explicit, recurrent recognition of group-specific adaptation of HF organization against a backdrop of generally similar HF function across the taxonomic groups studied. It offers a potent testament to the importance of evolution in the shaping of brain-behaviour relationships.
