endopiriform nucleus ( EPN )
The term endopiriform nucleus refers to a component of olfactory cortex defined by histology in the human ( Yilmazer-Hanke-2012 ), macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ), rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and mouse ( Hof-2000 ). Based on cytology, layered structure and connectivity, it is classified as olfactory cortex. In the rat and mouse it has two parts: the dorsal endopiriform nucleus and th ventral endopiriform nucleus. Located between the external capsule medially and piriform cortex ventrolaterally, it is classified as part of the basolateral nuclear group of the amygdala ( Yilmazer-Hanke-2012 ) and as one of the cortical subplate nuclei ( Swanson-2004 ). Little is known of its function ( Yilmazer-Hanke-2012 ) . Updated 18 Jun 2024..
