Topographic Organization of Hippocampal Inputs to the Anterior Olfactory Nucleus
Top-down processes conveying contextual information play a major role in shaping odor representations within the olfactory system, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The hippocampus (HPC) is a major source of olfactory top-down modulation, providing direct excitatory inputs to the anterior olfactory nucleus (AON). However, HPC-AON projections remain uncharacterized. In an effo...
متن کاملSynaptic integration of olfactory information in mouse anterior olfactory nucleus.
Individual odorants activate only a small fraction of mitral cells in the mouse main olfactory bulb (MOB). Odor mixtures are represented by a combination of activated mitral cells, forming reproducible activation maps in the olfactory bulb. However, how the activation of a cohort of narrowly tuned mitral cells by odor mixtures is read out synaptically by neurons in higher-level olfactory struct...
متن کاملOlfactory learning-induced long-lasting enhancement of descending and ascending synaptic transmission to the piriform cortex.
Learning of a particularly difficult olfactory-discrimination (OD) task results in acquisition of rule learning. This remarkable enhancement in learning capability is accompanied by long-term enhancement of synaptic connectivity between piriform cortex (PC) pyramidal neurons. Because successful performance in the OD task requires integration of information about the identity and also about the ...
متن کاملNonsensory target-dependent organization of piriform cortex.
The piriform cortex (PCX) is the largest component of the olfactory cortex and is hypothesized to be the locus of odor object formation. The distributed odorant representation found in PCX contrasts sharply with the topographical representation seen in other primary sensory cortices, making it difficult to test this view. Recent work in PCX has focused on functional characteristics of these dis...
متن کاملAnterior Olfactory Nucleus
Characteristics The olfactory system is highly developed in vertebrates, particularly in “macrosmic” mammals (such as many rodents) where olfaction is the primary sensory system used to navigate in the world. As olfactory ability has evolved, there has been a concurrent increase in the size and complexity of cortical structures dedicated to encoding and deciphering olfactory information (▶corti...
