Parallel processing by distinct classes of principal neurons in the olfactory cortex
Understanding how distinct neuron types in a neural circuit process and propagate information is essential for understanding what the circuit does and how it does it.The olfactory (piriform, PCx) cortex contains two main types of principal neurons, semilunar (SL) and superficial pyramidal (PYR) cells.SLs and PYRs have distinct morphologies, local c
