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.
