Endorsement

The approach used by the collator Mihail Bota is not endorsed by the author of the nomenclature.

Collator argument

The hierarchy was constructed based on the information provided in the atlas (pages 281-287), and on the latest version of the hierarchical tree provided by the first author of the atlas. The parahippocampal gyrus appears as a part of the medial occipito-temporal and also as a part of the limbic gyrus. We have chosen the hierarchical tree of the parahippocampal gyrus that of the limbic gyrus on the basis of its relationship with the entorhinal cortex.
