The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is a centrally located brain region that has reciprocal connections with several brain regions important for memory, including the prefrontal cortex, para-hippocampal region, hippocampal formation, and rhinal cortices. The RSC is also well connected with structures important for sensory processing, including the parietal cortex, thalamus, and visual cortices. Due to this connectivity, and early evidence that suggests the RSC plays a critical role in learning and memory, the region has recently gained much more research attention. Early studies found that patients with brain damage that includes the RSC have difficulty with verbal and visual information, retrieving …
