Occurrence of new neurons in the piriform cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015 Adult neurogenesis has been well studied in hippocampus and subventricular zone; while this is much less appreciated in other brain regions, including amygdala, hypothalamus and piriform cortex.

The circadian clock in the piriform cortex intrinsically tunes daily changes of odor-evoked neural activity [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Loss of the clock gene, Bmal1, in the piriform cortex largely abolishes the circadian rhythm of odor-evoked activity in mice, suggesting a broader regulatory role for Bmal1 in olfactory neural activity and transmission.

The role of the piriform cortex in temporal lobe epilepsy: A current literature review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy and can have various detrimental consequences within many neurologic domains. Recent evidence suggests that the piriform cortex may also be implicated in seizure physiology.

PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundSleep plays an active role in memory consolidation. Sleep structure (REM/Slow wave activity [SWS]) can be modified after learning, and in some cortical circuits, sleep is associated with replay of the learned experience.

Elevated tau in the piriform cortex in Alzheimer's but not Parkinson's disease using PET‐MR [PDF]
Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease MonitoringINTRODUCTION Olfactory dysfunction can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used tau positron emission tomography‐magnetic resonance (PET‐MR) to analyze a key region of the olfactory circuit, the piriform cortex, in comparison to the adjacent

Interictal blood–brain barrier dysfunction in piriform cortex of people with epilepsy [PDF]
Annals of Clinical and Translational NeurologyObjective The piriform cortex is considered to be highly epileptogenic. Its resection during epilepsy surgery is a predictor for postoperative seizure freedom in temporal lobe epilepsy. Epilepsy is associated with a dysfunction of the blood–brain barrier.

LRP4 is required for the olfactory association task in the piriform cortex [PDF]
Cell & Bioscience, 2022 Background Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4) plays a critical role in the central nervous system (CNS), including hippocampal synaptic plasticity, maintenance of excitatory synaptic transmission, fear regulation, as well as long ...

Optogenetic stimulation of lateral amygdala input to posterior piriform cortex modulates single-unit and ensemble odor processing [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015 Olfactory information is synthesized within the olfactory cortex to provide not only an odor percept, but also a contextual significance that supports appropriate behavioral response to specific odor cues.

Lineage Relationships Between Subpallial Progenitors and Glial Cells in the Piriform Cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 The piriform cortex is a paleocortical area, located in the ventrolateral surface of the rodent forebrain, receiving direct input from the olfactory bulb.

Doublecortin-immunoreactive neurons in the piriform cortex are sensitive to the long lasting effects of early life stress [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceThe olfactory system is a niche of continuous structural plasticity, holding postnatal proliferative neurogenesis in the olfactory bulbs and a population of immature neurons in the piriform cortex.
