Component items:

Entorhinal Cortex (FMM.NC.PH.ET): Memory consolidation
- Lateral Entorhinal Cortex: Memory consolidation, emotioncal aspects
- Medial Entorhinal Cortex: Memory consolidation, basic, view inpedepdent position
Perirhinal Cortex: Associate different visual views of objects and their various nonvisual attributes
Piriform Cortex: Perception of smells, primary olfactory cortex
Prepyriform Cortex: Perception of smells, relay via MD to PFC
