Preferred Label : primary olfactory cortex;
Uberon definition : A group of structures defined by connectivity, namely, structures that receive axons
from the olfactory bulb. They include the anterior olfactory nucleus, the anterior
perforated substance, the rostral part of the medial amygdaloid nucleus (anterior
cortical nucleus of amygdala), and structures in the anterior part of the parahippocampal
gyrus, namely, the prepyriform area, most of the periamygdaloid area, and the rostral
part of the entorhinal area (Price-90). Note that some authors have regarded the olfactory
bulb itself as the primary olfactory area and the areas to which it projects as secondary
(Anthoney-94). In the mouse (Dong-2004) and the rat (Swanson-2004), olfactory areas
include the olfactory bulb, accessory olfactory bulb, anterior olfactory nucleus,
tenia tecta, prepyriform area, postpiriform transition area, piriform amygdaloid area,
nucleus of lateral olfactory tract, and cortical amygdaloid area.;
