Periglomerular cell

{{short description|Type of olfactory cell}}

Periglomerular cells mediate lateral inhibition in the olfactory system together with granule cells. They have inhibitory synapses on mitral cells and tufted cells.{{cite journal|last=Martinez|first=Diane P.|author2=Freeman, Walter J.|title=Periglomerular cell action on mitral cells in olfactory bulb shown by current source density analysis|journal=Brain Research|volume=308|issue=2|pages=223–233|doi=10.1016/0006-8993(84)91061-8|pmid=6478206|year=1984|s2cid=36083489 }}
