dorsal endopiriform nucleus ( EPNd )
The term dorsal endopiriform nucleus refers to one of two partsof the endopiriform nucleus (EPN) as defined by histology in the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Hof-2000 ) but not human or macaque. By cytology, layered structure and connectivity, it is classified as olfactory cortex. The other part of EPN is the ventral endopiriform nucleus. Located between the external capsule medially and piriform cortex ventrolaterally, they are classified as parts of the basolateral nuclear group of the amygdala ( Yilmazer-Hanke-2012 ) and as cortical subplate nuclei ( Swanson-2004 ). Little is known of their function ( Yilmazer-Hanke-2012 ) . Updated 18 Jun 2024..
