Brodmann area 35

Brodmann area 35 is a region of the brain that is part of the cerebral cortex. It is also known as the perirhinal cortex and is located in the temporal lobe. This area is named after its discoverer, Korbinian Brodmann, a German neurologist who first described it in 1909.

Anatomy

Brodmann area 35 is located in the rhinal sulcus, which separates the hippocampus from the entorhinal cortex. It is part of the parahippocampal gyrus, which is involved in memory encoding and retrieval.

Function

The primary function of Brodmann area 35 is related to memory processing. It is involved in the encoding and retrieval of declarative memory, which includes facts and events. It also plays a role in spatial memory, which is the ability to remember the location of objects in space.

Clinical significance

Damage to Brodmann area 35 can result in amnesia, specifically anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. It is also implicated in Alzheimer's disease, as this area is one of the first to show signs of neurodegeneration in the disease.
