The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

The mammalian main olfactory bulb is a crucial processing centre for the sense of smell. The
olfactory bulb forms early during development and is functional from birth. However, the …

Amniotes, such as mammals and reptiles, have vision and other senses represented in the
pallium, whereas anamniotes, such as amphibians, fish and cyclostomes (including …

The dramatic evolutionary expansion of the neocortex, together with a proliferation of
specialized cortical areas, is believed to underlie the emergence of human cognitive …

The basic architecture of the mammalian neocortex is remarkably similar across species.
Pallial structures in the reptilian brain are considered amniote precursors of mammalian …

With the discovery of the incredible diversity of neurons, Cajal and coworkers laid the
foundation of modern neuroscience. Neuron types are not only structural units of nervous …

How a neuron acquires an axon is a fundamental question. Piecemeal identification of many
axonogenesis-related genes has been done, but coordinated regulation is unknown …

The neocortex is characterized by lamination of its neuron cell bodies in six layers, but there
are few clues as to how this comes about and what is its function. Recent studies provide …

Summary Sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1/p62) is involved in cellular processes such as
autophagy and metabolic reprogramming. Mutations resulting in the loss of function of …

The piriform cortex is a distinct brain region that plays a key role in the sense of smell. The
piriform cortex is the major part of primary olfactory cortex and has broad connections that …
