  • Title: Efferent neurons of the rat olfactory bulb. (An experimental study using horseradish peroxidase).
    Author: Druga R.
    Journal: Physiol Bohemoslov; 1980; 29(4):345-50. PubMed ID: 6448421.
    Abstract:
    1) Two efferent neurone populations - mitral and tufted cells - are present in the main structure of the rat olfactory bulb. 2) The tufted cells, whose axons leave the olfactory bulb, are scattered throughout the whole of the outer plexiform layer and some of them lie in the periglomelural layer. 3) The axons of some of the tufted cells lead to the rostral part of the prepyriform cortex (the anterior olfactory nucleus). 4) Our findings do not indicate that the tufted cells ensure monosynapltic interbulbar connection.
