Convergence in the Piriform Cortex
نویسندگان
چکیده
How are the responses to distinct chemical features integrated to form an olfactory perceptual object? In this issue of Neuron, Davison and Ehlers show that individual piriform cortex neurons receive convergent input from up to 10% of main olfactory bulb glomeruli and are activated by specific spatial patterns of coactive glomeruli.

Anticonvulsant effects of intrahippocacampal N6-cyclohexyladenosine on piriform cortex-kindled seizures
In this study the role of adenosine A1 receptors of the CA1 region of hippocampus on piriform cortex–kindled seizures was investigated in rats. Obtained results showed that in kindled animals, bilateral microinjection of N6–cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), an adenosine A1 receptor agonist, at doses of 10 and 100 mM into the hippocampal CA1 region decreased the afterdischarge duration (ADD), stage 5 s...

متن کاملComparing the Anticonvulsant Effects of Low Frequency Stimulation of Different Brain Sites on the Amygdala Kindling Acquisition in Rats
Low frequency stimulation (LFS) is a potential alternative therapy for epilepsy. However, it seems that the anticonvulsant effects of LFS depend on its target sites in the brain. Thus, the present study was designed to compare the anticonvulsant effects of LFS administered to amygdala, piriform cortex and substantia nigra on amygdala kindling acquisition. In control group, rats were kindled in ...

Background & Aim: Hippocampal CA1 region is the most common area in the development of temporal lobe epilepsy and piriform cortex is recognized as an important structure involved in the control of kindled seizures. This fundamental study dealt with the role of adenosine A1 receptors of piriform cortex in CA1 hippocampal kindled seizures in rats. Material & Method: We implanted a tripolar el...
متن کاملThe effect of parameters of low-frequency electrical stimulation on piriform-cortex kindled seizures in rat
Introduction: Electrical low-frequency stimulation (LFS) has antiepileptic effect, but the role of different stimulation parameters on this effect has not been determined. In this study the effect of different LFS parameters (intensity, pulse duration and train duration) on piriform-cortex kindled seizures was investigated. Methods: Seizure was produced in animals using kindling model of ep...
