Entorhinal cortex
| Name: | Entorhinal cortex |
| Description: | Component of the temporal lobe on the mesial surface. The rostral and caudal boundaries of the entorhinal cortex are the rostral end of the collateral sulcus and the caudal end of the amygdala respectively. The medial boundary is the medial aspect of the temporal lobe and the lateral boundary is the collateral sulcus. (DK) |
| Synonym(s): | entorhinal area |
| Is part of: | Cerebral cortex |
| Abbreviation: | Ent |
| Super-category: | Regional part of brain |

- Externally Sourced Definition: 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)
