Descriptor Spanish: Vía Perforante
Descriptor vía perforante
Entry term(s) fascículo perforante
Scope note: Vía constituida por fibras que se originan en la parte lateral de la CORTEZA ENTORRINAL, que perforan el SUBÍCULO del HIPOCAMPO, y discurren por dentro del estrato molecular del hipocampo, donde forman sinapsis con otras que van al GIRO DENTADO, donde finaliza. También se denomina fascículo perforante.

Scope note: A pathway of fibers that originates in the lateral part of the ENTORHINAL CORTEX, perforates the SUBICULUM of the HIPPOCAMPUS, and runs into the stratum moleculare of the hippocampus, where these fibers synapse with others that go to the DENTATE GYRUS where the pathway terminates. It is also known as the perforating fasciculus.
