Julius Caesar Arantius is one of the pioneer anatomists and surgeons of the 16th century who discovered the different anatomical structures of the human body. One of his prominent discoveries is the hippocampus. At that time, Arantius originated the term hippocampus, from the Greek word for seahorse (hippos ["horse"] and kampos ["sea monster"]). Arantius published his description of the hippocampus in 1587, in the first chapter of his work titled De Humano Foetu Liber. Numerous nomenclatures of this structure, including "white silkworm," "Ammon's horn," and "ram's horn" were proposed by different scholars at that time. However, the term hippocampus has become the most widely used in the literature.
尤利乌斯·恺撒·阿兰蒂乌斯是16世纪人体解剖结构的先驱解剖学家和外科医生之一。他最杰出的发现之一是海马体。当时，阿兰蒂乌斯创造了“海马体”这个术语，它源自希腊语中表示海马的词（hippos意为“马”，kampos意为“海怪”）。阿兰蒂乌斯于1587年在其著作《论人体胎儿》的第一章中发表了他对海马体的描述。当时不同学者提出了该结构的众多命名，包括“白蚕”“阿蒙之角”和“公羊角”。然而，“海马体”这个术语在文献中使用最为广泛。
