Initially, the team hypothesized that piriform cortex neurons that were active in mouse embryos would be most reactive to odors in the environment of newly born pups, such as that of mother's milk ...

Close to 40% of the neurons in the amygdala, piriform cortex, hippocampus, and entorhinal cortex displayed specific firing responses to different odors and also showed increased firing rates when ...

GFAP immunoreactivity was also greater in the piriform cortex of homozygotes, although the difference between genotypes did not reach statistical significance in this region. Tg12099 rats on a rat ...

The fact that what Mormann calls olfactory concept cells found in the piriform cortex respond to visuals is surprising. But this wasn’t just a single phenomenon: Of 1,856 neurons, 66 responded ...

The olfactory bulb then sends signals to another brain structure called the piriform cortex. It is believed odour recognition happens there – that is, we identify its potential source, like an ...

T he scientist flicked on a laser, filling the rat’s brain with blue light. The rodent, true to its past two weeks of training, scampered across its glass box to a tiny spout, where it was duly ...
