title: Long-range intracortical excitation shapes olfactory processing.
abstract: Recurrent intracortical connections are believed to be especially dense in the piriform cortex. Two studies in this issue of Neuron report several interesting features of the long-range intracortical connections and reveal their physiological roles in shaping olfactory processing.
