Does the amygdaloid nucleus receive its afferent fibers from the olfactory tract?
Yes!
How does smoking cause loss of smell?
I causes a constant allergic reaction in the upper respiratory tract, leading to chronic inflammations, thus affecting the smell sense, which means causing damage to your olfactory system.
Olfactory in a human?
There is one located on each side of the brain connected to the olfactory tract, which leads into the temporal lobes it deals with the sense of smell.
Nerve fibers of the olfactory tracts lead to?
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
What are the olfactory and non-olfactory components of limbic system?
oflactory components = olfactor bulb and tract + hippocampal formation + paraterminal gyrus + septum pellucidum + fornixnon-olfactory components = cingulate gyrus + parahippocampal gyrus
How does the olfactory affect epilepsy?
Epileptic seizures originating in the olfactory part of the brain can create unusual or unexplained smells.
Does the olfactory tract carry equilibrium impulses?
No. The ears and eyes work together to produce equilibrium, not the nose.
Olfactory sensations usually fade rapidly as a result of?
Cigarette smoking. Also prolonged exposure.
The sense of smell is able to stimulate vivid memories because the olfactory tract passes through which part of the brain?
limbic
