Where is the primary olfactory cortex in the brain?
In the posterior pole of the Occipital cortex.
What does the thalamus relay information to?
All the brain lobes except the olfactory cortex.
Which brain part associated with walking?
The motor cortex, located in the cerebral cortex.
Where the auditory cortex is located?
The auditory cortex is located in the brain, and is responsible for processing auditory information received from the ears.
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 primary olfactory cortex in the brain?
In the posterior pole of the Occipital cortex.
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.
What does the thalamus relay information to?
All the brain lobes except the olfactory cortex.
What part of the brain deals with anger fear and danger responses?
The amygdala, located in the limbic system of the brain, is primarily responsible for processing emotions such as anger and fear, as well as triggering responses to potential dangers. It plays a crucial role in the body's fight-or-flight response to threatening situations.
What nerve that connected in the nose?
the olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) sensations pass along the cranial nerves directly to the brain. smell signals travel from the olfactory nerve (made up of groups of nerve fibres ) to a patch of the cortex located in the temporal lobe.
Where is the primary auditory cortex is located?
The primary auditory cortex is located in the Temporal Lobe of the brain.
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.
Which brain part associated with walking?
The motor cortex, located in the cerebral cortex.
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
Where the auditory cortex is located?
The auditory cortex is located in the brain, and is responsible for processing auditory information received from the ears.
What part of the brain controls smell?
FRONTAL LOBE
What is the relay center for sensory impulses?
The thalamus is the main relay station for all sensory impulses going to the cortex of the brain, except olfactory sensations. Afferent nerve fibers come into the thalamus, which sends the signals on to the correct part of the cerebral cortex for processing. This is a large, oval structure located on either side of the third ventricle of the brain.
