Heterotypic cortex consists of those areas of the mature neocortex that deviate markedly from the homogeneous six layered internal structure seen in the third trimester of human gestation . A few neocortical areas, such as Brodmann area 17 and the granular insular cortex , undergo modification to more than six layers and in a few areas, such as Brodmann area 4 , the number of layers is reduced. Heterotypic cortex is contrasted to homotypic cortex, which retains the fetal six layered pattern into adulthood. The number of heterotypic areas is small and the specific areas differ somewhat by species. ref cite book author Brodmann K year 1909 title Beschreibung der einzelnen Hirnkarten IV.

Mircea Steriade August 20, 1924 April 14, 2006 , MD, DSc, was a prominent researcher in systems neuroscience . He was born in Bucharest , Romania , and studied medicine at University of Bucharest . He emigrated to Canada in 1968, where he became a professor of physiology at Universit Laval in Quebec , a position he held for the rest of his life. The majority of his research was on corticothalamic oscillations. He was among the first to study the dynamics of the brain during sleep, and one of his key discoveries was determining the role of thalamic reticular neurons as pacemakers in producing the sleep spindle rhythm. He also discovered slow 1 Hz sleep rhythms associated with neocortex intracortical activity.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The Entorhinal Cortex EC is a major part of the hippocampal formation of the human brain , and is reciprocally connected with the hippocampus . The hippocampal formation, which consists of the hippocampus, perirhinal cortex , the dentate gyrus , the subiculum subicular areas and EC forms one of the most important parts of limbic system . It is an infolding of the parahippocampal gyrus into the inferior temporal horn of the lateral Ventricle heart ventricle . Role in knowledge processing and memory Studies, with human patients and with experimental animals, suggest that knowledge stored as explicit memory is first acquired through processing in one or more of the three polymodal association cortices prefrontal cortex prefrontal , limbic, and parieto occipital temporal to form visual, auditory and somatic information. From there, the information is then conveyed in series to the parahippocampal and perirhinal cortices, then onwards to the EC, dentate gyrus, hippocampus, subiculum and then finally back to the EC. From the EC, the information is sent back to the parahippocampal and perirhinal cortex, and finally back to the polymodal association areas of neocortex . The EC has dual functions in processing information for explicit memory storage First, it is the main input to the hippocampus. The EC projects to the dentate gyrus via the perforant pathway and by this means provides the critical input pathway in this area of the brain, linking the association cortices to the hippocampus. Second, the EC is also the major output of the hippocampus. The information coming to the hippocampus from both the poly and unimodal association cortices, converge in the EC. Role in epilepsy The entorhinal cortex and its links to the hippocampus have been implicated in the generation of seizure s in temporal lobe epilepsy , one of the most common forms of epilepsy. This, coupled with the rich innervation of the hippocampus, is the reason why the EC is so w ... more details
