The subcallosal area is also known as "Zuckerkandl's gyrus", for Emil Zuckerkandl.<ref name="pmid18342140">{{cite journal |vauthors=Shoja MM, Tubbs RS, Loukas M, Shokouhi G, Jerry Oakes W |title=Emil Zuckerkandl (1849-1910): anatomist and pathologist |journal=Ann.

The parahippocampal gyrus, subcallosal area, and cingulate gyrus have been described together as the periarcheocortex.<ref name="pmid17325825">{{cite journal |vauthors=Schneider JF, Vergesslich K |title=Maturation of the limbic system revealed by MR FLAIR imaging |journal=Pediatr Radiol |volume=37 |issue=4 |pages=351–5 |date=April 2007 |pmid=17325825 |doi=10.1007/s00247-007-0415-3 |s2cid=1513783 |url=https://doc.rero.ch/record/320640/files/247_2007_Article_415.pdf}}<!--https://doc.rero.ch/record/320640/files/247_2007_Article_415.pdf --></ref>
The "subcallosal area" and "parolfactory area" are considered equivalent in BrainInfo,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/synonyms.aspx?questID=278|title=BrainInfo|website=braininfo.rprc.washington.edu}}</ref> but in Terminologia Anatomica they are considered distinct structures.
