Figure 7

Lateral boundaries of the NPCL in the temporal lobe. Figure (A) shows that the NPCL runs laterally in the SPZ of the body of the hippocampus (BdHc) (arrowheads) and ends underneath the hippocampal sulcus (HS) (asterisk). Figure (B) is a magnified view of the rectangle in (A). The dotted lines identify the connection between the SPZ and the SGZ and the arrow points to a NPC. Note the presence of a blood vessel (BV) where the NPCL is thicker. Figure (C) shows a line of NPCs (arrowheads) in the depth of a sulcus of the neocortex (NeoCx), an infrequent finding; the connection between this line of NPCs and the NPCL of the medial temporal lobe was not analyzed. CA3, CA3 sector of the hippocampus proper; DG, dentate gyrus; FDS, fimbriodentate sulcus; HS, hippocampal sulcus; MD, margo denticulatus of the dentate gyrus; SC, subicular complex; arrow, NPCs in the SGZ. Scale bars: (A) 500 μm; (B) 200 μm; (C) 50 μm.
