part of part of contributes to morphology of Homo sapiens cerebral cortex regional part of brain olfactory cortex (In mammals) Odorant detection is mediated by millions of olfactory sensory neurons located in the olfactory epithelium lining the nasal cavity. These neurons transmit sensory signals to the olfactory bulb of the brain, which in turn sends signals to the olfactory cortex.[well established][VHOG] BIRNLEX:2707 EHDAA:5482 MESH:D066194 consider relationship: receives_input_from UBERON:0002264 olfactory bulb Aggregate brain region defined as those areas of cerebral cortex receiving direct synaptic input from the olfactory bulb (Price, 1973).

It receives input from the olfactory bulb and is responsible for the identification of odors[GO][GO:0021989]. HBA:265504406 That portion of the cerebral cortex that, with the palaeocortex, develops in association with the olfactory system, and which is phylogenetically older than the neocortex and lacks its layered structure. The embryonic archaeocortex corresponds to the cortex of the dentate gyrus and hippocampus in mature mammals[BTO:0001446]. MA:0000193 olfactory areas BTO:0001446 BAMS:OLF olfactory lobe olfactory lobe
