Entorhinal cortex
The
entorhinal cortext (EC) is an important
memory center in the
brain. The EC forms the input to the
hippocampus and is responsible for the pre-processing of the input signals. In the eyeblink reflex, the association of impulses from the
eye and the
ear occurs in the entorhinal cortex. The EC-hippocampus system plays an important role in
memory consolidation and memory optimization in
