Olfactory cortex horizontal cell
| Name: | Olfactory cortex horizontal cell |
| Description: | Medium-size interneuron in the superficial layer I of the olfactory cortex, with dendrites oriented parallel to the surface, and axon descending to layer II. They presumably receive excitatory input from the LOT fibers and are inhibitory in layer II. |
| Synonym(s): | Horizontal cell (olfactory), olfactory horizontal cell |
| Has role: | Intrinsic neuron role |
| Abbreviation: | H |
| Super-category: | Neuron |
| Id: | nifext_118 |
| Organism: | Vertebrata |
