Where is the secondary olfactory cortex located in the brain?
The olfactory cortex is located within the medial temporal lobes.
What does the thalamus relay information to?
All the brain lobes except the olfactory cortex.
Which lobe is olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is a part of the superior temporal lobe.
Which area of the brain is responsible for spatial discrimination?
The Primary somatosensory cortex
Where the cerebral interpretation of smell occurs?
The olfactory bulb, at the top of the nasal sinus, is connected to the first cranial nerve. It then sends the impulse to the temporal lobes of the brain to be interpreted as smell.
Where is the secondary olfactory cortex located in the brain?
The olfactory cortex is located within the medial temporal lobes.
Where is the primary auditory cortex is located?
The primary auditory cortex is located in the Temporal Lobe of the brain.
What does the thalamus relay information to?
All the brain lobes except the olfactory cortex.
Which part of the brain is responsible for smelling?
For smell, the olfactory bulb (a brain structure directly above the nasal cavity and below the frontal lobe) interprets smell. The olfactory nerve endings are in the upper nasal cavity and detect smells. For taste, lower primary somatic sensory cortex interpreters the sense of taste. There are 5 different taste buds on the tongue that sense taste.
In which lobe of the brain is the olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is the part of the brain involved in processing the sense of smell. It is located in the medial temporal lobes of the brain which are the bottom section of the brain.
Gross anatomy of the brain and cranial nerves?
This really isn't a question. We can't show a diagram. So the auditory cortex goes with the temporal lobe, the primary motor cortex goes with the frontal lobe, the primary sensory cortex goes with parietal lobe, the olfactory cortex is the temporal lobe, the visual cortex is the occipital lobe, and the broca's area goes with the frontal lobe
Which lobe is olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is a part of the superior temporal lobe.
Why do certain smells instantly evoke specific memories or feelings?
The olfactory nerves in the nose send information on the scent to the primary olfactory cortex of the brain. the cortex is linked to the amygdala and hippocampus of hte limbic system. The amygdala is involved in emotion. It projects fibres into the hippocampus. The hippocampus is involved in long-term memory. This is why smells evoke memories
Where is the primary sensory cortex located?
The primary sensory cortex (or primary somatosensory cortex) is part of the postcentral gyrus in the brain, which forms part of the parietal lobe.The main function of the primary sensory cortex is it is a receptor for the sense of touch.parietal lobe
What part of the brain relates to smell?
temporal lobe (also hearing and memory and such) Actually, the temporal lobe is used for auditory processing and is home to the primary auditory cortex. It is the olfactory bulb.
What region contain the primary visual cortex?
The visual cortex is found in the occipital lobe.
What is the role of the cortex?
The main role of the olfactory cortex is detection of odors
