If the rat was exposed to the citrus smell ... and that spatial memory and olfactory information converge in the piriform cortex. But why has the brain evolved to represent location and odor ...

They showed that the piriform cortex -- a part of the olfactory brain -- has a direct influence on information storage in our most important memory structure, the hippocampus. How sensory ...

A new study shows that the piriform cortex, a part of the olfactory brain, is involved in the process of saving those memories; the mechanism, however, only works in interaction with other brain ...

But in the piriform cortex, a brain region associated with olfaction, they also found a neuron that increases firing in response to both the smell of licorice and the images of a piece of licorice ...

But other scientists have shown that the same phenomenon, called representational drift, occurs in a variety of brain regions besides the piriform cortex. Its existence is clear; everything else ...

We already know that several brain regions – including the piriform cortex, amygdala, hippocampus and entorhinal cortex – are responsible for processing smells, but until now no one had ever ...

They asked the patients to identify the smells and recorded the patients' brain activity, specifically in the piriform cortex, the main part of the cortex that processes smells. Smell signals from ...

T he motor cortex is a part of the mammalian brain and is known to support the planning and control of voluntary body movements. Some past neuroscience studies, however, found that the motor ...

TICKLE ME, RAT Nerve cells in a rat’s somatosensory cortex respond to a tickling hand, action that may offer clues to how the brain creates joy, a new study proposes. S. Ishiyama & M.

If the rat was exposed to the citrus smell ... and that spatial memory and olfactory information converge in the piriform cortex. But why has the brain evolved to represent location and odour ...
