postpiriform transition area ( PPT )
The term postpiriform transition area refers to a transition zone at the boundary between the amygdala and the cerebral cortex in the human ( Mai-1997 ), the macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ) the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Dong-2004 ). It is between the amygdala and the piriform cortex rostrally and the entorhinal cortex caudally. (In the human and the macaque the piriform cortex and entorhinal cortex are parts of the anterior parahippocampal gyrus.) Updated 26 May 2024.
