Convergence in the Piriform Cortex
How are the responses to distinct chemical features integrated to form an olfactory perceptual object? In this issue of Neuron, Davison and Ehlers show that individual piriform cortex neurons receive convergent input from up to 10% of main olfactory bulb glomeruli and are activated by specific spatial patterns of coactive glomeruli.
متن کاملInhibitory interneurons in the piriform cortex.
1. The piriform cortex (PC) is the largest subdivision of the olfactory cortex and the first cortical destination of olfactory information. Despite the relatively simple anatomy of the PC and its obvious appeal as a model system for the study of cortical sensory processing, there are many outstanding questions about its basic cell physiology. In the present article, we review what is known abou...
متن کاملBinaral interactions in the rat piriform cortex.
Single-unit recordings were made from layer II/III anterior piriform cortex (aPCX) neurons in adult Wistar rats to examine odor response patterns to unilaterally and bilaterally delivered stimuli. Isoamyl acetate odor stimulation was presented either unilaterally through tubes inserted into the external nares, or bilaterally during unilateral olfactory bulb lidocaine infusions. Olfactory bulb m...
متن کاملRhythmic spontaneous activity in the piriform cortex.
Slow spontaneous rhythmic activity is generated and propagates in neocortical slices when bathed in an artificial cerebrospinal fluid with ionic concentrations similar to the ones in vivo. This activity is extraordinarily similar to the activation of the cortex in physiological conditions (e.g., slow-wave sleep), thus representing a unique in vitro model to understand how cortical networks main...
متن کاملReceptive fields in the rat piriform cortex.
Current models of odor discrimination in mammals involve molecular feature detection by a large family of diverse olfactory receptors, refinement of molecular feature extraction through precise projections of olfactory receptor neurons to the olfactory bulb to form an odor-specific spatial map of molecular features across glomerular layer, and synthesis of these features into odor objects withi...
