Definition[Bearbeiten]
The olfactory tract connects the olfactory bulb and the olfactory trigonum. It is part of the olfactory tract or olfactory brain (rhinencephalon).
Course[Bearbeiten]
The olfactory tract is formed from the axons of the mitral cells and tufted cells and runs basally from the frontal lobe in the olfactory sulcus posteriorly to the olfactory trigonum. There it divides into the stria olfactoria medialis and the stria olfactoria lateralis. The main part of the axons projects into the piriformis area (piriform cortex).
