“…There are a number of anatomical differences (Burwell et al, 1995;Burwell and Amaral, 1998a,b;Pitkä nen et al, 2000;Burwell, 2000Burwell, , 2001) and functional differences (Norman and Eacott, 2005) existing between the two areas and it has been suggested that the rat postrhinal cortex is homologous to the monkey parahippocampal cortex (Burwell et al, 1995;Burwell, 2000). Therefore, we follow Burwell's classification (2000) and distinguish between the perirhinal and postrhinal cortices as two distinct anatomical regions in the rat brain.…”
