Spatial context and the functional role of the postrhinal cortex

PA LaChance, JS Taube - Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2022 - Elsevier
The postrhinal cortex (POR) serves as a key input area to the hippocampal system. It
receives highly processed information from the ventral visual stream and other limbic areas …
