Spatial maps in piriform cortex during olfactory navigation [PDF]
Nature, 2020 SummaryOdors are a fundamental part of the sensory environment used by animals to inform behaviors such as foraging and navigation1, 2. Primary olfactory (piriform) cortex is thought to be dedicated to encoding odor identity3–8. Here, using neural ensemble recordings in freely moving rats performing a novel odor-cued spatial choice task, we show that ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Odor perception can both evoke emotional states and be shaped by emotional or hedonic states. The amygdala complex plays an important role in recognition of, and response to, hedonically valenced stimuli, and has strong, reciprocal connectivity with the ...

eLife, 2020 Pattern completion, or the ability to retrieve stable neural activity patterns from noisy or partial cues, is a fundamental feature of memory. Theoretical studies indicate that recurrently connected auto-associative or discrete attractor networks can ...

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.

Essential Role of the Anterior Piriform Cortex in Mediating Social Novelty Output via a Top–Down Circuit [PDF]
Advanced ScienceSocial 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.

Orchestration of Hippocampal Information Encoding by the Piriform Cortex [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2019 Abstract The hippocampus utilizes olfactospatial information to encode sensory experience by means of synaptic plasticity. Odor exposure is also a potent impetus for hippocampus-dependent memory retrieval. Here, we explored to what extent the piriform cortex directly impacts upon hippocampal information processing and storage.

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.

Preprocessing of emotional visual information in the human piriform cortex
Scientific Reports, 2017 This study examines the processing of visual information by the olfactory system in humans. Recent data point to the processing of visual stimuli by the piriform cortex, a region mainly known as part of the primary olfactory cortex.

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.

Differential connectivity of the posterior piriform cortex in Parkinson’s disease and postviral olfactory dysfunction: an fMRI study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOlfactory dysfunction is a common feature of both postviral upper respiratory tract infections (PV) and idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our aim was to investigate potential differences in the connectivity of the posterior piriform cortex, a major ...
