The olfactory tract is split into medial and lateral.
Their projections are to 5 different areas of the brain- anterior olfactory nucleus, olfactory tubercle, Piriform cortex, Amygdala, Entorhinal cortex
The lateral tract originates from the olfactory epithelium separates into mitral cells and tuft cells. mitral cells synapses onto all 5 of the regions to ultimately synapse onto the orbitofrontal cortex via the thalamus or the frontal cortex. tufted cells on the other hand only synapse onto the anterior olfactory nucleus and the olfactory tubercle
The medial or vomeronasal tract projects to mitral cells that synapse only to the Amygdala
