Preferred Label : secondary olfactory cortex;
Uberon definition : Brodmann's area 28; major gateway for neocortical input to the hippocampus; origin
of the perforant pathway; a component of the medial temporal lobe memory system. (CSP)
* The cytoarchitecturally well-defined area of multilaminate cerebral cortex 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 hippocampus, the so-called PERFORANT PATHWAY. (Stedman, 25th ed).;
