stratum lacunosum moleculare (slac)

The term stratum lacunosum moleculare refers to the histologically defined outermostr layer of the CA fields ( Insausti-2012 ) of the functionally defined hippocampal complex ( Glasser-2016 ).. It is found in the human ( Insausti-2012 ), the macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ), the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Franklin-2008 ). Updated 31 May 2024.

Also known as: Stratum lacunosum-moleculare, stratum lacunosum moleculare, stratum lacunosum moleculare of the CA fields

Models Where It Appears
Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.
