J Comp Neurol 391:293-321. 1998..The perirhinal and postrhinal projections to the entorhinal cortex originate in layers III and V and terminate preferentially in layers II and III...- Cortical afferents of the perirhinal, postrhinal, and entorhinal cortices of the ratR D Burwell
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
J Comp Neurol 398:179-205. 1998..The MEA is primarily innervated by the piriform and postrhinal cortices, but also receives minor projections from retrosplenial, posterior parietal, and visual association areas... - The parahippocampal region: corticocortical connectivityR D Burwell
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 911:25-42. 2000..The organization of intrinsic connections for each of the parahippocampal regions also contributes to the segregation of information into parallel pathways... - Borders and cytoarchitecture of the perirhinal and postrhinal cortices in the ratR D Burwell
Department of Psychology, Brown University, 89 Waterman Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
J Comp Neurol 437:17-41. 2001..These regional definitions of perirhinal areas 35 and 36 and the postrhinal cortex were confirmed by new empirical analyses of previously reported quantitative connectional data (Burwell and Amaral [1998a] J. Comp. Neurol. 398:179-205)... - Recognition memory: can you teach an old dogma new tricks?Rebecca D Burwell
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Neuron 59:523-5. 2008..In this issue of Neuron, Haskins et al. provide further evidence in support of a dual-process perspective, whereas Shrager et al. provide evidence supporting a single-process viewpoint... - Perirhinal and postrhinal contributions to remote memory for contextRebecca D Burwell
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
J Neurosci 24:11023-8. 2004..Alternatively, these regions may be involved in a more extended consolidation process that becomes apparent beyond 100 d after learning... - Positional firing properties of postrhinal cortex neuronsR D Burwell
Brown University, Psychology Department, 89 Waterman, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Neuroscience 119:577-88. 2003..We propose that the response properties of postrhinal neurons represent an early step in a spatial pathway that culminates in the specific and stable place fields of the hippocampus... - Corticohippocampal contributions to spatial and contextual learningRebecca D Burwell
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
J Neurosci 24:3826-36. 2004..The evidence that different brain systems underlie spatial navigation and contextual learning has implications for research on memory when parahippocampal regions are involved... - A neurophotonic device for stimulation and recording of neural microcircuitsJing Wang
Department of Physics, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc 2010:2935-8. 2010..This novel optoelectronic microarray was cortically implanted in ChR2 transduced behaving rats. We have shown that the idiopathic induced epileptic seizure could be modulated by optical stimulation... - Cortical efferents of the perirhinal, postrhinal, and entorhinal cortices of the ratKara L Agster
Department of Neuroscience, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
Hippocampus 19:1159-86. 2009..Our findings suggest that the return projections follow the same pathways, though perhaps with less segregration... - The Floor Projection Maze: A novel behavioral apparatus for presenting visual stimuli to ratsSharon C Furtak
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
J Neurosci Methods 181:82-8. 2009..Our findings demonstrate that rats can rapidly acquire visual tasks when stimuli are presented horizontally on the floor, suggesting that this novel behavioral apparatus will provide a powerful behavioral paradigm in the future... - Functional neuroanatomy of the parahippocampal region in the rat: the perirhinal and postrhinal corticesSharon C Furtak
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Hippocampus 17:709-22. 2007..A detailed description of the anatomical connections of the perirhinal and postrhinal cortices will permit the generation of new, anatomically guided, hypotheses about their role in episodic memory and other cognitive processes... - Contextual fear discrimination is impaired by damage to the postrhinal or perirhinal cortexDavid J Bucci
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
Behav Neurosci 116:479-88. 2002..The results indicate that both the POR and PER have a role in configural learning of contextual fear... - Functional neuroanatomy of the parahippocampal region: the lateral and medial entorhinal areasKristin M Kerr
Department of Neuroscience, Brown University, 89 Waterman Street, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Hippocampus 17:697-708. 2007..It is hoped that these findings will inform future studies of the role of the EC in learning and memory... - Deficits in attentional orienting following damage to the perirhinal or postrhinal corticesDavid J Bucci
Department of Psychology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Behav Neurosci 118:1117-22. 2004..These results are consistent with an emerging view that some structures within the medial temporal lobe have nonmnemonic functions... - Electrical synapses coordinate activity in the suprachiasmatic nucleusMichael A Long
Department of Neuroscience, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA
Nat Neurosci 8:61-6. 2005..We suggest that electrical synapses in the SCN help to synchronize its spiking activity, and that such synchrony is necessary for normal circadian behavior... - Neuron number in the parahippocampal region is preserved in aged rats with spatial learning deficitsPeter R Rapp
Kastor Neurobiology of Aging Laboratories, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY 10029 6574, USA
Cereb Cortex 12:1171-9. 2002..These findings provide an essential framework for identifying the basis of cognitive aging, suggesting that alterations in connectivity and other changes are more likely causative factors...
