The Olfactory Mosaic: Bringing an Olfactory Network Together for Odor Perception.

摘要: Olfactory perception and its underlying neural mechanisms are not fixed, but rather vary over time, dependent on various parameters such as state, task, or learning experience. In olfaction, one of the primary sensory areas beyond olfactory bulb is piriform cortex. Due to an increasing number functions attributed cortex, it has been argued be associative cortex than a simple fact, plays key role in creating percepts, helping form configural odor objects from molecular features extracted nose. Moreover, dynamic interactions with other nonolfactory also critical shaping percept resulting behavioral responses. this brief review, we will describe larger perceptual network, some many actors importance among piriform-trans-thalamic limbic pathways.
