Preferred Label : hippocampus stratum lacunosum moleculare;
Uberon definition : Layer of the hippocampus lying just superficial to the stratum radiatum and bounded
by the pial surface of the hippocampus. The fibers of the perforant pathway fibers
from entorhinal cortex and several other brain areas terminate in this layer. Adapted

Uberon synonym : stratum lacunosum-moleculare; lacunar-molecular layer of hippocampus; stratum lacunosum moleculare;
Uberon Structure note : Here the perforant path fibers form synapses onto the distal, apical dendrites of
pyramidal cells.[WP];
