In this issue’s cover of Neurosurgery & Anatomy, the left hippocampus has been embedded within the axial section of an injected cadaveric head, illuminating the often-overlooked spatial relationships between the hippocampal formation and the tentorial incisura. These anatomical connections gain critical relevance in the context of intracranial hypertension and transtentorial uncal herniation. Martins et al., in their contribution to this issue, build on the Rhotonian principle of microneuroanatomy—as “seeing through” superficial structures to grasp their deep topographical relationships, as if “using X-ray vision”—into a dynamic understanding of how pathological anatomy develops and manifests clinically. This departure from studying normal and near-normal anatomy toward a meta-microneuroanatomical perspective invites readers to consider technological advances not as ends in themselves, but as tools for deeper anatomical insight and reasons to touch base with core clinical concepts.
