Preferred Label : olfactory bulb glomerular layer;
Uberon definition : The glomerular layer is the most superficial layer, consisting of mitral cell dendritic
arborizations (glomeruli), olfactory nerve fibers, and periglomerular cells. Periglomerular
cells contact multiple mitral cell dendrites within the glomeruli and provide lateral
inhibition of neighboring glomeruli while allowing excitation of a specific mitral
cell dendritic tree. Each mitral cell is contacted by at least 1000 olfactory nerve
fibers[BTO]. Portion of tissue which is located in between the primary olfactory fiber
layer and the external cellular layer of the olfactory bulb[ZFA].;
Uberon synonym : stratum glomerulosum bulbi olfactorii; olfactory bulb main glomerulus;
Uberon related term : glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb;
Uberon broad term : glomerular layer;
