parasubiculum ( PAR )

The term parasubiculum refers to a histologically identified transitional zone between the presubiculum and the entorhinal cortex in the anterior parahippocampal gyrus of the human ( Zilles-1990 ) and the macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ). In the rat ( Swanson-1998 ) and the mouse ( Paxinos-2001 ) it is located between the same two areas but on the ventromedial aspect of the cerebral cortex. Defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture, it is more similar to the presubiculum than to the entorhinal cortex ( Zilles-1990 ). It was not identified as an independent functional area in the human Connectome Project ( Glasser-2016 ). Updated 25 May 2024.
