Connectivity of the Olfactory Tubercle: Inputs, Outputs, and Their Plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsThe olfactory tubercle (OT) is a unique part of the olfactory cortex of the mammal brain in that it is also a component of the ventral striatum. It is crucially involved in motivational behaviors, particularly in adaptive olfactory learning.

Endogenous Opioids in the Olfactory Tubercle and Their Roles in Olfaction and Quality of Life [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsOlfactory dysfunctions decrease daily quality of life (QOL) in part by reducing the pleasure of eating. Olfaction plays an essential role in flavor sensation and palatability.

An extrahippocampal projection from the dentate gyrus to the olfactory tubercle [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2005 Background The dentate gyrus is well known for its mossy fiber projection to the hippocampal field 3 (CA3) and its extensive associational and commissural connections.

Hypothetical Roles of the Olfactory Tubercle in Odor-Guided Eating Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 Olfaction plays an important role in the evaluation, motivation, and palatability of food. The chemical identity of odorants is coded by a spatial combination of activated glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, which is referred to as the odor map.

Neurochemical organization of the ventral striatum’s olfactory tubercle [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2020 AbstractThe ventral striatum is a collection of brain structures, including the nucleus accumbens, ventral pallidum and the olfactory tubercle (OT). While much attention has been devoted to the nucleus accumbens, a comprehensive understanding of the ventral striatum and its contributions to neurological diseases requires an appreciation for the complex

The Neurotransmitter Receptor Architecture of the Mouse Olfactory System
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 The uptake, transmission and processing of sensory olfactory information is modulated by inhibitory and excitatory receptors in the olfactory system. Previous studies have focused on the function of individual receptors in distinct brain areas, but the ...

Radial Glial Cells in the Postnatal Olfactory Tubercle of Hamsters
Developmental Brain Research, 1982 Abstract A discrete population of radial glial cells whose fibers extend into the lateral part of the olfactory tubercle can be labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) during the first week of postnatal life. Radial glial processes are also seen in electron micrographs of this region in young animals and appear to form guides for longitudinally ...

The embryonic septum and ventral pallium, new sources of olfactory cortex cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The mammalian olfactory cortex is a complex structure located along the rostro-caudal extension of the ventrolateral prosencephalon, which is divided into several anatomically and functionally distinct areas: the anterior olfactory nucleus, piriform ...

Parallel odor processing by two anatomically distinct olfactory bulb target structures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The olfactory cortex encompasses several anatomically distinct regions each hypothesized to provide differential representation and processing of specific odors. Studies exploring whether or not the diversity of olfactory bulb input to olfactory cortices

Smelling Sounds: Olfactory–Auditory Sensory Convergence in the Olfactory Tubercle [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 Historical and psychophysical literature has demonstrated a perceptual interplay between olfactory and auditory stimuli—the neural mechanisms of which are not understood. Here, we report novel findings revealing that the early olfactory code is subjected to auditory cross-modal influences. In vivo
