Entorhinal cortex; the gateway to the
hippocampus necessary for learning and memory storage includes
Brodmannarea (BA) 28, and parts of BA
34 and BA 35.
The area is located on the upper side of the
parahippocampal winding. The entorhinal cortex receives signal flows from the large association cortex fields in the crown, neck and temporal lobes and in turn sends signals into the hippocampal complex (via
tractus perforans to
the tooth cortex).
