Transmitter receptors in the lateral olfactory cortex

Transmitter receptors in the lateral olfactory cortex (Table 6) 

It is believed that many of the neurons in PC receive EAA inputs either from the lateral olfactory tract and/or from cortico-cortico connections within PC. Furthermore, elec-trophysiological studies show a role for EAA receptors in PC. Recent autoradiographic, in situ, and immunocytochemical evidence suggests that layer II PC contains an extensive amount of AMPA and kainate receptor subtypes, while layers la and II stain for NMD A receptors (Petralia and Wenthold, 1994 Monaghan et al. 1985 Wisden and Seeburg, 1993 Gall et al. 1990 Petralia and Wenthold, 1992, van den Pol et al. 1994 and Molnar et al. 1993). Further study of the cellular identification of these receptors within PC is necessary.
