Term: Endopiriform nucleus

Definition: Krettek and Price 1978. This "nucleus" appears to form the olfactory component of the claustrum, deep to the piriform area (see also Gurdjian 1928). Ekstrand et al. (2001) have recognized a rostroventrolateral differentiation of the EPd as the pre-endopiriform nucleus (in Atlas Levels 6-9).

Nomenclature: Swanson-2004
