Brodmann area 28 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. It is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe and is part of the entorhinal cortex (Brodmann-1909).
Human
In humans, Brodmann area 28, and Brodmann area 34 together constitute approximately the entorhinal cortex (Brodmann-1909).
Guenon
Brodmann regarded the location of area 28 adjacent to the hippocampus as imprecisely represented in the illustration of the cortex of the guenon brain in Brodmann-1909. It is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe.
Distinctive features (Brodmann-1905)
The molecular layer (I) is unusually wide; the
multiform layer is wide and has a less clear two sublayer structure; the internal granular layer
(IV) is totally absent.
