What is the function of the olfactory bulb in a fish?
enhancing discrimination between odors.enhancing sensitivity of odor detection.filtering out many background odors to enhance the transmission of a few select odors.permitting higher brain areas involved in arousal and attention to modify the detection or the discrimination of odors.Olfactory nerves act as transducers - changing chemical signals, as when an odor chemical binds to its receptor at an olfactory dendritic nerve ending, into nerve impulses - that is (i.e.) biological signals. These reside in the mucous membrane.Nerve fibers leave the olfactory cells and enter the skull through the ethmoid bone, then disappear into the 'olfactory bulb' located at the anterior end of the 'olfactory tract', which then leads to the frontal - and eventually the temporal - lobe of the cerebrum.
