Is there an association between piriform cortex neural activity and increased loco-motor activity?

Yes, there is evidence suggesting an association between piriform cortex neural activity and increased locomotor activity. The piriform cortex, primarily known for its role in olfactory processing, has also been implicated in integrating sensory information that influences motor behavior. Studies have shown that activation of this region can enhance locomotor activity, potentially linking olfactory cues to behavioral responses. However, further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying this relationship.
