The brain center for smell, located below the frontal lobes. go to glossary index
one of two enlargements at the terminus of the olfactory nerve at the base of the brain just above the nasal cavities
The smell organ in the nose, it is also a direct extension of the brain, in fact it grows directly from the limbic system (the part of the brain that helps deal with emotion).
The first region of the brain to receive sensory input from olfactory epithelium. The olfactory bulb presents the initial input and communicates via multiple pathways with numerous other regions of the brain, e.g. limbic system, hypothalamus and cortex.
nreve extensions of the sensory portion of the brain associated with smell
A part of the brain involved in detecting and discriminating among different smells.
a bulb-shaped brain structure derived from the telencephalon that receives input from olfactory receptor neurons
The center where the processing of smell is started and is then passed onto other areas of the brain
The part of the central nervous system that receives synaptic projections from olfactory sensory neurons, via the olfactory nerve.
A pea-sized structure on the undersurface of the frontal lobe of the brain that receives inputs from the olfactory neurons and projects to the regions of the brain concerned with the sense of smell.
The organ situated deep within the nasal cavity that holds the cilia (hair like structures) that come in contact with odourous molecules entering the nose or from the throat. The olfactory bulb passes the impulse to the limbic region of the brain.
A region of the brain involved in olfaction (smell); it is a way station between the receptors in the nasal passage and the olfactory cortex.
The olfactory bulb receives and processes smells. It is located very close to the limbic region, which is thought to be the reason that certain smells can activate vivid memories and emotions.
The olfactory bulb is a structure of the vertebrate forebrain involved in olfaction, the perception of odors.
