Tree Number(s): A08.186.211.180.590.750.225; A08.186.211.200.885.287.500.382.750.225; A08.186.211.200.885.287.500.814.695.374; A08.186.211.200.885.287.750.562
Unique ID: D018728
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018728
Scope Note: Cerebral cortex region on the medial aspect of the PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS, immediately caudal to the OLFACTORY CORTEX of the uncus. The entorhinal cortex is the origin of the major neural fiber system afferent to the HIPPOCAMPAL FORMATION, the so-called PERFORANT PATHWAY.
Entry Term(s): Area Entorhinalis; Brodmann Area 28; Brodmann Area 34; Brodmann's Area 28; Brodmann's Area 34; Entorhinal Area; Entorhinal Cortices; Secondary Olfactory Cortex
