Projections from the accessory olfactory organ into the medial region of the olfactory bulb in the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus): a novel vertebrate sensory structure?

8 Sep 2009 Although four different primary olfactory pathways have been described in tetrapod vertebrates, polymorphic olfactory sensory neurons comingle in the olfactory epithelium and project axons into separate bulbar regions in teleost fish. However, ... Read more...

Advanced time-series analysis of MEG data as a method to explore olfactory function in healthy controls and Parkinson's disease patients.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine whether time-series analysis of magnetoencephalography (MEG) data is a suitable method to study brain activity related to olfactory information processing, and to detect differences in odor-induced brain activity between ... Read more...

Fezf1 is required for penetration of the basal lamina by olfactory axons to promote olfactory development.

8 Aug 2009 In the development of the olfactory system, olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) project their axons from the olfactory epithelium (OE) to the olfactory bulb (OB). The surface of the OB is covered by the central nervous system (CNS) basal lamina. To ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Olfactory Pathways'

Definition: Set of nerve fibers conducting impulses from olfactory receptors to the cerebral cortex. It includes the OLFACTORY NERVE; OLFACTORY BULB; olfactory tract, olfactory tubercle, anterior perforated substance, and olfactory cortex. The term rhinencephalon is restricted to structures in the CNS receiving fibers from the olfactory bulb.
