| Connectivity defining Criteria: | Defined as the part of the prefrontal cortex that receives projections from the magnocellular, medial nucleus of the mediodorsal thalamus |
| Brain regions that send axons into this region: | Medial OfC reciprocally connects with the hippocampus, posterior parahippocampal cortex, posterior cingulate and retrosplenial areas, and area prostriata

Inferred outgoing projections for Orbital frontal cortex
The following brain regions receive axons from Orbital frontal cortex: Perirhinal cortex of primate of Burwell et al 1995. The statements about these projections are not made on this page, but rather are made on the pages linked here.

| EditorialNote | UMLS clearly has obscured this distinction … UMLS clearly has obscured this distinction between cortex and gyri here, as they include the following under this CUI: orbital gyrus, orbital area, orbital cortex, gyri orbitales, orbitofrontal gyrus, orbitofrontal gyri, gyrus orbitofrontalis. Clearly, this would equate this volumetric structure defined as Orbital Frontal Cortex and the "volumetric" structure defined in NN as "Orbital gyrus". tructure defined in NN as "Orbital gyrus". |
