Specific contribution of neurons from the Dbx1 lineage to the piriform cortex

Abstract The piriform cortex (PC) is a major cortical processing center for the sense of smell that receives direct inputs from the olfactory bulb. In mice, the PC consists of three neuronal layers, which are populated by cells with distinct developmental origins. One origin of PC neurons is the poo...
