"The subiculum (plural: subicula) is located in the mesial temporal lobe and is a subdivision of the hippocampal formation, along with Ammon’s horn, the entorhinal cortex and the hippocampus proper. It is the predominant output source of the hippocampal formation."
"Sub: The subiculum proper is bordered proximally by the ProS, which separates it from the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Distally, it is bordered by the PreS."
"ProS: The area separating the subiculum proper from the CA1 region of the hippocampus proper."
"PrS: This area borders the subiculum proper ventrally and makes up part of the parahippocampal gyrus."
"PoS: The PoS is bordered by the presubiculum ventrally and laterally, with the border between the two characterised by an abrupt change in cyto- and histochemical staining. However, some sources treat this area as the dorsal part of the presubiculum."
"PaS: This area forms the ventral shoulder of the parahippocampal gyrus and continues the PrS ventrally. It is bordered laterally by the entorhinal cortex."

"The subicular complex is broken down into several distinct but related areas by their differing cytoarchitecture, however with slight variations between human, monkey, and rodent studies. These areas include the prosubiculum (ProS), subiculum proper (Sub), presubiculum (PrS), postsubiculum (PoS), and parasubiculum (PaS)."
"There is ongoing emerging evidence of the role of the subiculum in Alzheimer disease and epilepsy."
