Smells are surer than sounds and sights to make your heart-strings crack. - Rudyard Kipling
Olfactory system • Conveysspecific visceral sensation (smell) vian. olfactorius. • Does not relay in the thalamus. • Connections withthalamus, hypothalamus, amygdaloid complex&hippocampal formation.
Structure of the olfactory system І. Receptor cells • Chemoreceptors. • Aboutо25 billionson each side. • Located in thenasal mucosa. • Regenerate. • 1st order neuronsin the olfactory pathway. • Bipolar neurons,unmyelynated axons formnn. оlfactоrii. • Inbulbus olfactorius the axons synapse withthe mitral cellsin olfactory glomerulus.
II. Bulbus olfactorius • Onlamina cribrosaofos ethmoidale • Entered by olfactory nerves. • 6-layered structure. • 4 cell types: • periglomerular- inhibitory • tufted- efferent (ІІ order) • mitral- efferent (ІІ order) • granule - inhibitory • Glomerulus– polysynaptic structure, ensuringconversionof olfactory impulseson the mitral cells.
Synaptic organization ofbulbus olfactorius Dendrodendrite synapses Glutamate (excitory) GABA (inhibitory)
Types of synapses Lateral inhibition.
ІІІ. Tractus olfactorius: • insulcus olfactorius. • Axons of mitral and tufted cells. • nucl. olfactorius anterior (modulator): • terminates intrigonum olfactorium. ІV. Stria olfactoria lateralis • to primary olfactory cortex throughlimen insulae V. Stria olfactoria medialis • toarea subcalosa andgyrus paraterminalis
VІ. Olfactory corex • Primary • onuncus(area 34afterBrodmann). • fibers fromstria olfactoria lateralis. • containsprepiriform&periamygdaloid areas. • connectins withnucl. medialis dorsalis of thalamus, hypothalamus, hipocampal formation. • Secondary • entorhinal areaofgyrus parahippocampalis (area 28). • Impulses from primary areas. • efferents to hippocampus. • Orbitofrontal cortex • Impulses fromnucl. medialis dorsalis thalami • conscious preception of smell.
Orbitofrontal cortex We need our orbitofrontal cortex to make intelligent choices. Its individual cells code for value. Ann Thomson, Nature Neuroscience
Limbic system • Morphological substrate of emotionsand behaviour. • Role inemotional behavior, feeding, defensive reaction, sexual behaviour, memoryand learning. • Functions mediated throughhypothalamus andautonomic system. • Containscortical&subcortical (nuclei) structures.
