Brodmann area 27 is a cytoarchitecturally defined cortical area that is a rostral part of the parahippocampal gyrus. It is commonly regarded as a synonym of presubiculum. [1]

Contents

The dorsal part of the presubiculum is more commonly known as the postsubiculum, [2] and is of interest because it contains head direction cells, which are responsive to the facing direction of the head. [3]
