Looking for the roots of cortical sensory computation in three-layered cortices

Highlights • We review the recent and less recent literature on mammalian piriform cortex and on reptilian dorsal cortex. • We try to identify common organizational, dynamical and functional principles from those studies. • We emphasize notable differences between these simpler cortices and known pr...

Summary:Highlights • We review the recent and less recent literature on mammalian piriform cortex and on reptilian dorsal cortex. • We try to identify common organizational, dynamical and functional principles from those studies. • We emphasize notable differences between these simpler cortices and known primary sensory neocortical areas.
