Anatomically, the perirhinal cortex sits at the boundary between the medial temporal lobe and the ventral visual pathway. It has prominent interconnections not only with both these systems, but also with a wide range of unimodal and polymodal association areas.

What lobe is the perirhinal cortex in?

Perirhinal Cortex☆

The perirhinal cortex is a proisocortical area in the medial temporal lobe interconnecting the hippocampal formation together with other parts of the limbic lobe and with the lateral temporal and occipitotemporal association cortices.

What does perirhinal cortex do?

Function. The perirhinal cortex is involved in both visual perception and memory; it facilitates the recognition and identification of environmental stimuli.
