Rhinal cortex

The rhinal cortex is the cortex surrounding the rhinal fissure, including the entorhinal cortex and the perirhinal cortex. It is a cortical region in the medial temporal lobe that is made up of Brodmann areas 28, 34, 35 and 36.

Input from all sensory cortices flows to the perirhinal and parahippocampal cortices, whence it continues to the entorhinal cortex and then the hippocampus. After feedback from the hippocampus, information then returns in the reverse sequence to the sensory cortices.

Explicit memory

The rhinal cortex is proposed to be part of the neural circuit for explicit memory.[1]
Studies comparing the results of selective lesions of the hippocampus and of the rhinal cortex found that lesions of the hippocampus alone did not impair performance on object recognition tests, but that lesions of the rhinal cortex alone caused severe anterograde and retrograde impairments on these tests. The conclusion was that object recognition (semantic memory) depends on the rhinal cortex.[2]

gollark: ```go log.Println("Fetching feeds...") var feeds []*rss.Feed var wg sync.WaitGroup for _, source := range sources { wg.Add(1) src := source go func() { defer wg.Done() feed, err := rss.Fetch(src.String()) if err != nil { log.Printf("Error fetching %s: %s", src.String(), err.Error()) return } feeds = append(feeds, feed) log.Printf("Fetched %s", feed.Title) }() } wg.Wait()```So here is something which is meant to fetch a bunch of RSS feeds in parallel.
gollark: Somewhat? There doesn't seem to be a better way to do it.
gollark: Hold on, I worked on a tiny bit of Go code, I'll dredge some up as a sample.
gollark: It does not avoid those. You just reimplement them oddly.
gollark: Explicit doesn't mean very good.
