Postrhinal cortex

Postrhinal cortex is a part of the brain that is involved in memory and spatial navigation. It is located in the temporal lobe and is connected to other areas of the brain such as the perirhinal cortex and the parahippocampal cortex.

Function

The postrhinal cortex is involved in the processing of spatial information and visual information. It receives inputs from the visual cortex and sends outputs to the hippocampus, a region of the brain that is crucial for memory formation.

Anatomy

The postrhinal cortex is located in the temporal lobe of the brain, adjacent to the perirhinal cortex. It is also connected to the parahippocampal cortex, another region of the brain involved in memory and spatial navigation.

Research

Research on the postrhinal cortex has focused on its role in memory and spatial navigation. Studies have shown that damage to the postrhinal cortex can impair an individual's ability to remember spatial locations.
