Brodmann area 27 explained
| Brodmann area 27 |
| Latin: | area praesubicularis |
Area 27 of Brodmann-1909 is a cytoarchitecturally defined cortical area that is a rostral part of the parahippocampal gyrus. It is commonly regarded as a synonym of presubiculum.[1]
The dorsal part of the presubiculum is more commonly known as the postsubiculum[2] and is of interest because it contains head direction cells, which are responsive to the facing direction of the head.[3]
