The topology of connections between rat prefrontal and temporal cortices [PDF]
Understanding the structural organisation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an important step towards determining its functional organisation. Here we investigated the organisation of PFC using different neuronal tracers.

Perirhinal Cortex LTP Does Not Require Astrocyte BDNF-TrkB Signaling [PDF]
Neurons release and respond to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with bursts of brain activity. BDNF action is known to extend to peri-synaptic astrocytes, contributing to synaptic strengthening.

Model of Familiarity Discrimination in the Perirhinal Cortex [PDF]
Much evidence indicates that recognition memory involves two separable processes, recollection and familiarity discrimination, with familiarity discrimination being dependent on the perirhinal cortex of the temporal lobe. Here, we describe a new neural network model designed to mimic the response patterns of perirhinal neurons that signal information ...

The hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and perirhinal cortex are critical to incidental order memory [PDF]
Considerable research in rodents and humans indicates the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are essential for remembering temporal relationships among stimuli, and accumulating evidence suggests the perirhinal cortex may also be involved.

Propagation of Neocortical Inputs in the Perirhinal Cortex [PDF]
The perirhinal area is a rostrocaudally oriented strip of cortex in which lesions produce memory and perceptual impairments. It receives topographically organized transverse projections from associative neocortical areas and is endowed with intrinsic longitudinal connections that could distribute neocortical inputs in the rostrocaudal axis.

Perceptualâmnemonic functions of the perirhinal cortex
It is widely acknowledged that the perirhinal cortex, located in the ventromedial aspect of the temporal lobe, is essential for certain types of memory in macaque monkeys. For example, removal of the perirhinal cortex yields severe impairments on tests of stimulus recognition and stimulus-stimulus association.

Medial perirhinal cortex disambiguates confusable objects [PDF]
Our brain disambiguates the objects in our cluttered visual world seemingly effortlessly, enabling us to understand their significance and to act appropriately. The role of anteromedial temporal structures in this process, particularly the perirhinal cortex, is highly controversial.

Medial temporal pathways for contextual learning: Network c- mapping in rats with or without perirhinal cortex lesions [PDF]
Background: In the rat brain, context information is thought to engage network interactions between the postrhinal cortex, medial entorhinal cortex, and the hippocampus.

Homosexual women have less grey matter in perirhinal cortex than heterosexual women. [PDF]
Is sexual orientation associated with structural differences in the brain? To address this question, 80 homosexual and heterosexual men and women (16 homosexual men and 15 homosexual women) underwent structural MRI.

Automated segmentation for cortical thickness of the medial perirhinal cortex [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive spread of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), beginning in the medial perirhinal cortex (mPRC), advancing to the entorhinal cortex (ERC), and subsequently involving the hippocampus, lateral perirhinal
