The spatio-temporal patterns of signal processing in guinea pig piriform cortex (PC) slices were analyzed by optical imaging using a voltage-sensitive dye. Slices (400 microns thick) were cut in a plane parallel to the lateral olfactory tract and perpendicular to the cortical surface. In all the anterior PC and the majority of the posterior PC preparations, neural activity elicited by electrical stimulation of layer Ia propagated along the same layer, then it invaded into layers II and III and propagated along them. In addition to the above pattern, invasion of activity into the deeper area than layer III was observed in some posterior PC preparations. Real-time imaging of an active zone evoked by Ia shocks and its spatio-temporal behavior will contribute to resolving olfactory information processing.
