molecular layer of the piriform area

The term molecular layer of the piriform area refers to the outermost layer of the piriform cortex in the mouse ( Dong-2004 ) and the rat ( Swanson-2004 ); the other two layers are the pyramidal layer of the piriform cortex and the polymorph layer of the piriform cortex.

Also known as: piriform area, molecular layer, molecular layer of the piriform area
