ABSTRACT
SignificanceThe authors propose that odors are consciously perceived or not, depending on whether the olfactory cortex succeeds in activating the endopiriform nucleus-a structure that, in turn, is capable of activating multiple downstream brain areas. The authors further propose that the cellular mechanisms of endopiriform nucleus activation are an attenuated form of cellular events that occur during epileptic seizure initiation. If correct, the authors' hypothesis could help explain the mechanisms of action of certain general anesthetics.
