Alzheimer Neuropathology and Limbic Circuits

  • Chapter
Neurobiology of Cingulate Cortex and Limbic Thalamus

Abstract

The cerebral cortex represents the dominating structure of the human brain. It is divided into more or less uniform isocortex (proisocortex and isocortex sensu stricto) and heterogeneous allocortex (allocortex sensu stricto and periallocortex; Braak, 1980; Zilles, 1990). Isocortical fields account for about 95% of the total cortical surface area. Allocortex is small in comparison and comprises among other territories the hippocampal formation and the entorhinal region.
