Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The entorhinal cortex (plural: cortices) (a.k.a. Brodmann area 28) is located in the mesial temporal lobe and acts as the interface between the hippocampus and the neocortex. It has been considered part of the hippocampal formation (along with Ammon’s horn, subiculum and presubiculum), but is difficult to precisely localise anatomically, with numerous definitions described 2. It occupies the middle portion of the medial temporal region, and includes part of the parahippocampal gyrus and gyrus ambiens 2. However, increasingly it is defined by its connectivity to the hippocampus 1,2."

Line 1:304 · Use the Oxford comma in 'horn, subiculum and presubiculum'.
