Elevated tau in the piriform cortex in Alzheimer's but not Parkinson's disease using PET‐MR [PDF]
INTRODUCTION 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

The role of the piriform cortex in temporal lobe epilepsy: A current literature review [PDF]
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.

Dynamic recovery of piriform cortex function and its impact on cognitive processing speed following mild COVID-19 [PDF]
Background Although the neurological sequelae of severe COVID-19 are increasingly recognized, the long-term neural impact of uncomplicated mild SARS-CoV-2 infection remains insufficiently characterized.

Integrative analysis of single-cell multi-omics reveals heterogeneity in piriform cortex principal neurons and their selective vulnerability in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Integrative single‐cell multi‐omics analysis reveals molecular heterogeneity among piriform cortex principal neurons and identifies Reln+ superficial‐layer neurons as a selectively vulnerable population in Alzheimer's disease. Cross‐region comparison with entorhinal cortex layer II neurons reveals a shared Gpc5‐high/Sort1‐low vulnerability‐associated ...

Interictal blood–brain barrier dysfunction in piriform cortex of people with epilepsy [PDF]
Objective 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]
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 ...

Seizure Freedom Despite Piriform Cortex Sparing: Structural Connectivity Remodeling After SEEG-Guided Mesial Temporal RFTC. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) targeting mesiotemporal structures, while sparing the piriform cortex (PC), can achieve seizure freedom in drug‐resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), and to assess whether said seizure freedom is associated with an indirect disconnection of the PC ...

Doublecortin-immunoreactive neurons in the piriform cortex are sensitive to the long lasting effects of early life stress [PDF]
The 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.

Essential Role of the Anterior Piriform Cortex in Mediating Social Novelty Output via a Top–Down Circuit [PDF]
Social novelty is indispensable for a wide range of social behaviors. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), along with other social information hubs, composes the foundational circuitry of social novelty.

Cell-Type-Specific Whole-Brain Direct Inputs to the Anterior and Posterior Piriform Cortex
The piriform cortex (PC) is a key brain area involved in both processing and coding of olfactory information. It is implicated in various brain disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism.
