Individual odor hedonic perception is coded in temporal joint network activity

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Intro: The human sense of smell is highly individual and characterized by a strong variability in the perception and evaluation of olfactory stimuli, depending on cultural imprint and current physiological conditions.

The functional upregulation of piriform cortex is associated with cross-modal plasticity in loss of whisker tactile inputs.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundCross-modal plasticity is characterized as the hypersensitivity of remaining modalities after a sensory function is lost in rodents, which ensures their awareness to environmental changes.

On the ictogenic properties of the piriform cortex in vitro [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsia, 2012
SummaryPurpose: The piriform cortex (PC) is known to be epileptic‐prone and it may be involved in the manifestation of limbic seizures. Herein, we have characterized some electrophysiologic and pharmacologic properties of the spontaneous epileptiform activity generated by PC networks maintained in vitro.Methods: We performed field potential recordings ...

Recurrent circuitry is required to stabilize piriform cortex odor representations across brain states

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

NF-κB "decoy" inhibits COX-2 expression in epileptic rat brain [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
There is a need to investigate the role of nuclear factor kappa B in the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 expression in the epileptic rat brain and cultured hippocampal neurons.

Circuit-specific dendritic development in the piriform cortex [PDF]

open access: yeseneuro, 2019
Abstract Dendritic geometry is largely determined during postnatal development and has a substantial impact on neural function. In sensory processing, postnatal development of the dendritic tree is affected by two dominant circuit motifs, ascending sensory feedforward inputs and descending and local recurrent ...

Lateral entorhinal cortex afferents reconfigure the activity in piriform cortex circuits. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Abstract Odours are key signals for guiding spatial behaviours such as foraging and navigation in rodents. It has recently been found that odour representations in the piriform cortex (PCx) can also contain information about their spatial context.

Basolateral amygdala to posterior piriform cortex connectivity ensures precision in learned odor threat

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

A large-scale simulation of the piriform cortex by a cell automaton-based network model

open access: yes, 2002
An event-driven framework is used to construct physiologically motivated large-scale model of the piriform cortex containing in the order of 105 neuron-like computing units.

Understanding the role of the piriform cortex in epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The piriform cortex is the first site of cortical odour processing. Curiously, it is also involved in epilepsy. Epilepsy is a debilitating condition characterised by multiple seizures, which affects over 65 million people worldwide. Despite decades of
