subiculum

Introduction

The zone of transition between the cornu ammonis (Ammon horn) of the hippocampus & the entorhinal cortex ventrally or parahippocampal gyrus caudally.

  • piriform cortex
  • superior temporal gyrus
  • insular cortex
  • orbitofrontal cortex

Efferents

• subcortical (see hippocampal efferents, subcortical)
  • claustrum
  • amygdala
  • septal nuclei
  • nucleus accumbens
  • striatum (caudate & putamen)
  • hypothalamus
  • anterior thalamic nucleus
  • mammillary bodies
• entorhinal cortex
