subcallosal gyrus (SCL)
The term subcallosal gyrus (SCL) refers to a rostral part of the limbic lobe (LLB) as defined topologically by dissection in the human ( Carpenter-1983 ). It is located ventral to the rostrum of the corpus callosum (ccr) from which it is separated by the callosal sulcus (cas). It is dorsal to the paraterminal gyrus (PTG) caudally and rostrally to the part of the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG) that curves around the genu of the corpus callosum (ccg).
The SCL is not found in the macaque where the topologically comparable area is classified as part of the the ACG ( Martin-2000 ), Nor is it found in the smooth cerebral cortex (CTX) of the rat and mouse ( Swanson-2004 Franklin-2008 ). Updated 26 Aug 2024.
Also known as: subcallosal area, Area subcallosa, parolfactory area, Area parolfactoria, adolfactory area, Zuckerkandl's gyrus, subcallosal gyrus
