Description of part

Our delineation is based primarily on recent delineations of the cortex of the rat (Zilles and Wree, 1995) and has to be considered as tentative, given that the mouse cortex is different. We supplemented the observations of Zilles and Wree (1995) by examination of the intervening sections from the atlas brain that were immunoreacted for parvalbumin.
