Olfactory cortex semilunar cell
| Name: | Olfactory cortex semilunar cell |
| Description: | Projection neuron found in the superficial border of layer II (IIa) of piriform cortex similar in characteristics to a pyramidal cell and also resembling the granule cell of the dentate gyrus. It has an apical but no basilar dendrites. They project to other cortical areas but, in contrast to pyramidal cells, they do not project back to the olfactory bulb. |
| Synonym(s): | semilunar cell, semilunar neuron |
