Many cortical brain regions are spatially organized to optimize sensory representation. Such topographic maps have so far been elusive in the olfactory cortex. A high-throughput tracing study reveals that the neural circuits connecting olfactory regions are indeed topographically organized.
许多皮质脑区在空间上组织起来以优化感觉表示。到目前为止,这种地形图在嗅觉皮层中还难以捉摸。一项高通量示踪研究表明,连接嗅觉区域的神经回路确实是地形组织的。
