Mixture Coding and Segmentation in the Anterior Piriform Cortex
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020 Coding of odorous stimuli has been mostly studied using single isolated stimuli. However, a single sniff of air in a natural environment is likely to introduce airborne chemicals emitted by multiple objects into the nose.

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.

Cell-Type-Specific Whole-Brain Direct Inputs to the Anterior and Posterior Piriform Cortex
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 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.

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.

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.

NMDA spikes mediate amplification of inputs in the rat piriform cortex
eLife, 2018 The piriform cortex (PCx) receives direct input from the olfactory bulb (OB) and is the brain's main station for odor recognition and memory. The transformation of the odor code from OB to PCx is profound: mitral and tufted cells in olfactory glomeruli ...

The Piriform Cortex and Human Focal Epilepsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2014 It is surprising that the piriform cortex, when compared to the hippocampus, has been given relatively little significance in human epilepsy. Like the hippocampus, it has a phylogenetically preserved three-layered cortex that is vulnerable to excitotoxic
