35
granule cells receive axodendritic contacts from these cells
mitral cells and centrifugal fibers
36
an order arrives in a glomerulus and stimulates these cells...which then inhibit surrounding mitral cells (\*surround inhibition\*)
periglomerular cells
37
collateral branches of mitral/tufted cells axons terminate here (between olfactory bulb/tract)
anterior olfactory nucleus
38
this is located at rostral margin of anterior perforated substance...olfactory tract expands here
olfactory trigone
39
where do most axons that enter the olfactory trigone from the olfactory tract go?
lateral olfactory stria (to lateral olfactory area)
40
fibers that don't enter lateral olfactory stria will go to here (\*which is part of intermediate olfactory area\*)
anterior perforated substance
41
principal cell axons pass through the olfactory tract and terminate here
primary olfactory areas (for subjective appreciation)
