Q

Describe sensory afferent of primary/secondary neurons of CN I

A

Primary neurons in olfactory epithelium sends 20 bundles of axon (olfactory nerve proper) across cribiform plate to synapse with secondary neurons (mitral/tufted cells) within olfactory bulbs

Q

Secondary neuron axons of CNI are sent to which 3 area?

A
  1. Primary (lateral) olfactory area (Uncus, entorhinal/ant hippocampal gyrus, limen insula, part of amygdala)
  2. Anterior perforated substance (intermediate olf area)
  3. Medial olfactory area (septal area) in subcallosal region of medial frontal lobe - emotional response with limbic connections
