Preferred Label : taenia tectum of brain;
Uberon definition : A continuation ventrally of the supracallosal gyrus beyond the rostrum of the corpus
callosum. It is demonstrated histologically by Nissl stain. In the human ( Anthoney-1994
) and the macaque ( Paxinos-2004 ) it lies on the rostral surface of the lamina terminalis
and is considered identical to or part of the paraterminal gyrus. In the rat ( Swanson-1998
) and the mouse ( Paxinos-2001 ) it is located similarly in relation to the supracallosal
gyrus, however, it is a more prominent layered structure that extends rostrally on
the medial surface overlying the anterior olfactory nucleus. It is considered part
of the olfactory areas (rodent) of the cerebral cortex. In rodents it consists of
two parts, the dorsal tenia tecta and the ventral tenia tecta. Note that some authors
use the term 'tenia tecta' or 'taenia tecta' as a synonym for the lateral longitudinal
stria ( Riley-1943 ).;
