piriform cortextemporal lobe epilepsyAlthough the piriform cortex (PC) has been previously implicated as a critical node for seizure generation and propagation, the underlying neural mechanism has remained unclear. Here, we found increased excitability in PC neurons during amygdala kindling acquisition. ...
Unlike in rodents, an extra migratory stream containing immature neurons towards the ventromedial prefrontal cortex has been reported in forebrains of human infants (Sanai et al., 2011). Considering the fact, local progenitor cells residing in the human olfactory system has been speculated to be ...
From the olfactory cortex, information about smell is sent to the orbitofrontal cortex via the dorsal medial nucleus of the thalamus. The orbitofrontal cortex is a portion of the prefrontal cortex that is located on the underside of the frontal lobe and situated over the eye orbit. Lesions of ...

Olfactory information, from receptors in the nasal epithelium, is integrated within the (neurochemically-rich) olfactory bulb, passed directly to medial temporal lobe primary olfactory regions (i.e. piriform cortex, amygdala, and entorhinal cortex) necessary for odour detection. These regions then ...
