Respiration is primarily regulated for metabolic and homeostatic purposes in the brainstem.
However, breathing can also change in response to changes in emotions, such as sadness …

It is surprising that the piriform cortex, when compared to the hippocampus, has been given
relatively little significance in human epilepsy. Like the hippocampus, it has a …

Importance A functional area associated with the piriform cortex, termedarea tempestas, has
been implicated in animal studies as having a crucial role in modulating seizures, but similar …

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 …

Olfactory limbic structures, like the amygdala, the entorhinal, and the piriform cortices, are
closely involved in cognitive processes. Thus, besides olfactory dysfunctions, it is …

A whole-mount, flattened cortex preparation was developed to compare profiles of axonal
projections from main olfactory bulb (MOB) and accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) mitral and …

Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders, often is not well controlled by
current pharmacological and surgical treatments. Sensory neuromodulation, including multi …

Adult learning and memory functions are strongly dependent on neonatal experiences. We
recently showed that neonatal odor-shock learning attenuates later life odor fear …

BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that piriform cortex resection during anterior
temporal lobectomy is important for achieving good seizure outcome in mesial temporal lobe …

Anosmia, characterized by the loss of smell, is associated not only with dysfunction in the
peripheral olfactory system but also with changes in several brain regions involved in …
