Document Summary
Some anatomy layer 4 due to thalamic inputs striate cortex in the calcarine sulcus. V1 is the primary visual cortex, and it"s also called the striate cortex because it is striped in its. The geniculocalcarine/geniculostriate tract connects the geniculate nucleus in the thalami to the. We can break down the parahippocampal gyrus into three types of cortex: pyriform/paleo cortex: most anterior, continues from orbitofrontal cortex. This is the primary olfactory area: entorhinal cortex: posterior to the pyriform. Identified by the rhinal sulcus, which is where it stops. Sits above the amygdala: parahippocampal gyrus (not! the same thing as the cortex) Posterior 2/3rds of the gyrus and related to memory. The hippocampus is the archicortex which has coiled on itself. Has a central sulcus: three short gyri. The lid of the insula, the inside of the frontal, pyriform and temporal cortices facing the insula. Names are self-explanatory: operculum orbitale: inner flap of the pars orbitalis, operculum frontale, operculum frontoparietale, operculum temporale.
