fasciola cinerea (FSC)

The term fasciola cinerea refers to one of three components of the fasciolar gyrus of the human ( Mai-1997 Gonzalez-Arnay-2024 ) and the macaque ( Amaral-1990 ). The others are of white matter: the medial longitudinal stria and the lateral longitudinal stria ( Carpenter-1983 ). The fasciola cinerea itself has two parts. The medial fasciola cinerea is continuous with the dentate gyrus the lateral fasciola cinerea is continuous with the CA3 field ( Amaral-1990 ). In the rat and mouse, the fasciola cinerea is similar histologically but differs in that it is not a separate structure. Rather, it is embedded in the same cortical fold of archicortex as the CA fields ( Swanson-2004 Hof-2000 ). Updated 20 May 2024.

Models Where It Appears
Functional CNS Model - Rat

The Functional CNS Model - Rat (FMrat) ( Swanson-2004) is one of three hierarchical models representing the internal organization of the central nervous system (CNS). The others are the Structural CNS Model - Human (SThmn) and the Functional CNS Model - Human (FMhmn). The FMrat model represents the basic organization of the mouse ( Hof-2000 AMBA-2024 ) and, presumably, other rodents. Functional CNS models differ from structural models in that structures are defined and named by connectivity rather than by proximity to other structures at the same level. Functional models are more useful for representing longitudinal components of are grouped based on information drawn from multiple neuroscientific disciplines. such as connections, neurochemical characteristics, and role in physiogical and behavioral processes. While the Functional Model was developed primarily for an atlas of the rat brain ( Swanson-2004 ), the hierarchical organization of structures is for the most part applicable to the human, macaque, mouse and other mammalian brains as well. Structures at lower levels of the Functional CNS hierarchy are largely the same as in the Classical and Developmental Models, i.e., they were originally identified by stains for gray matter (Nissl substance) and white matter (myelin). At the next higher level they are grouped into basic connectional and functional systems of the CNS, such as the subcortical sensory systems, the brainstem motor system and the behavioral state system. At the highest levels CNS structures are grouped on the basis of dissection and embryologic precursors into cerebrum ( cerebral cortex and cerebral nuclei ), cerebellum, and cerebrospinal trunk.
