The Perforant Pathway
The Perforant Pathway
- * The key intra-hippocampal circuitry (so-named because the entorhinal cortex projects through (perforates) the subiculum).
- Whereas most cortical projections are bidirectional, the perforant pathway follows a specific unidirectional progression.
Steps
- The dentate gyrus -> CA3 -> CA1 (via Schaffer collaterals) -> subiculum
