Interhemispheric asymmetry of c‐Fos expression in glomeruli and the olfactory tubercle following repeated odor stimulation [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2020 Odor adaptation allows the olfactory system to regulate sensitivity to different stimulus intensities, which is essential for preventing saturation of the cell‐transducing machinery and maintaining high sensitivity to persistent and repetitive odor ...

Learning-dependent structural plasticity of intracortical and sensory connections to functional domains of the olfactory tubercle [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 The olfactory tubercle (OT), which is a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, has functional domains that play a role in odor-guided motivated behaviors.

Synaptic plasticity and roles of orexin in distinct domains of the olfactory tubercle [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsOlfactory behavior is highly plastic, and the olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, includes anteromedial (amOT) and lateral (lOT) domains with roles in attractive and aversive olfactory behavioral learning ...

Cellular Profiles of Prodynorphin and Preproenkephalin mRNA-Expressing Neurons in the Anterior Olfactory Tubercle of Mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 The olfactory tubercle (OT) is a striatal region that receives olfactory inputs. mRNAs of prodynorphin (Pdyn) and preproenkephalin (Penk), precursors of dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively, are strongly expressed in the striatum. Both produce opioid

Function of orexin-1 receptor signaling in the olfactory tubercle in odor-guided attraction and aversion [PDF]
Communications BiologyWhile olfactory behaviors are influenced by neuromodulatory signals, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, consists of anteromedial (am) and lateral (l) domains ...

Whole-Brain Mapping of the Inputs and Outputs of the Medial Part of the Olfactory Tubercle [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017 The medial part of the olfactory tubercle (OT) is a brain structure located at the interface of the reward and olfactory system. It is closely related to pheromone-rewards, natural reinforcement, addiction and many other behaviors. However, the structure

Activation of the dopaminergic pathway from VTA to the medial olfactory tubercle generates odor-preference and reward [PDF]
eLife, 2017 Odor-preferences are usually influenced by life experiences. However, the neural circuit mechanisms remain unclear. The medial olfactory tubercle (mOT) is involved in both reward and olfaction, whereas the ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic ...

Illustrated Review of the Ventral Striatum’s Olfactory Tubercle [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2016 Modern neuroscience often relies upon artistic renderings to illustrate key aspects of anatomy. These renderings can be in 2 or even 3 dimensions. Three-dimensional renderings are especially helpful in conceptualizing highly complex aspects of neuroanatomy which otherwise are not visually apparent in 2 dimensions or even intact biological samples ...

Projections from the posterolateral olfactory amygdala to the ventral striatum: neural basis for reinforcing properties of chemical stimuli [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2007 Background Vertebrates sense chemical stimuli through the olfactory receptor neurons whose axons project to the main olfactory bulb. The main projections of the olfactory bulb are directed to the olfactory cortex and olfactory amygdala (the anterior and ...

Distinct representation of cue-outcome association by D1 and D2 neurons in the ventral striatum’s olfactory tubercle [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Positive and negative associations acquired through olfactory experience are thought to be especially strong and long-lasting. The conserved direct olfactory sensory input to the ventral striatal olfactory tubercle (OT) and its convergence with dense ...
