Anatomical terminology

In the rodent, the parasubiculum is a retrohippocampal isocortical structure, and a major component of the subicular complex. It receives numerous subcortical and cortical inputs, and sends major projections to the superficial layers of the

entorhinal
cortex (Amaral & Witter, 1995).

The parasubicular area is a transitional zone between the

presubiculum, fire in relation to the animal's location in space, suggesting properties similar to place cells
. It is postulated that this area may play an integral role in spatial navigation and the integration of head-directional information (Chrobak & Buzsáki, 1994; Taube, 1995).
