Olfactory function in focal epilepsies: Understanding mesial temporal lobe epilepsy beyond the hippocampus [PDF]
Epilepsia Open, 2019 Several lines of research have linked olfactory regions with the pathophysiology of focal epilepsies. Among those regions, the piriform cortex represents the major part of the primary olfactory cortex.

The olfactory functional network in the Alzheimer’s disease continuum: a resting state fMRI study [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging NeuroscienceIntroductionOlfactory dysfunction is common in the Alzheimer’s Disease continuum, and olfaction may be altered before clinical syndrome onset. The present study aimed at investigating the functional connectivity of the olfactory cortex and its ...

Inhibition by Somatostatin Interneurons in Olfactory Cortex. [PDF]
Front Neural Circuits, 2016 Inhibitory circuitry plays an integral role in cortical network activity. The development of transgenic mouse lines targeting unique interneuron classes has significantly advanced our understanding of the functional roles of specific inhibitory circuits in neocortical sensory processing.

Binge feeding-induced Olfactory Cortex Suppression Reduces Satiation
, 2023 SUMMARYBinge eating commonly leads to overeating, but the exact mechanism is unclear. While it is known that experiencing flavor contributes to satiety, the interactions between flavor, feeding rate, and food intake remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate a novel feeding rate-dependent feedback loop between olfactory flavor representation in the anterior ...

Spatial maps in piriform cortex during olfactory navigation
, 2020 Abstract Animals rely on chemical signals to forage for food, shelter, and mates. Such behaviors call for odor cues to be linked to locations within their environment. Nonetheless, where and how this happens in the brain is not known. Here, we show that spatial and olfactory information converge in posterior piriform cortex (pPCx), an olfactory region

Cortical morphology alterations in non-COVID-19 post-infectious olfactory dysfunction [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWhile COVID-19-associated olfactory dysfunction leads to gray matter (GM) structural alterations, it remains unclear whether these structural GM alterations are specific to COVID-19.
