olfactory tract

White matter tract that contains projections from the olfactory bulb to other parts of the brain. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the olfactory tract is

White matter tract that contains projections from the olfactory bulb to other parts of the brain. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the olfactory tract is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the olfactory tract connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of white matter of telencephalon.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the olfactory tract. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as olfactory peduncle, olfactory stalk, pedunclulus olfactorius, tractus olfactorium and tractus olfactorius. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the olfactory tract?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the olfactory tract connect to?

Part of: white matter of telencephalon.

Is the olfactory tract the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
