The diagonal band of Broca interconnects the amygdala and the septal area. It is one of the olfactory structures. It is situated upon the inferior aspect of the brain.[1] It forms the medial margin of the anterior perforated substance.[2]
It was described by the French neuroanatomist Paul Broca.[3]
