The first LNs within the brain are seen at two sites more or less simultaneously, namely the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagal nerve and adjoining intermediate reticular zone as well as the olfactory bulb and anterior olfactory nucleus. The human olfactory bulb and related areas (anterior olfactory nucleus, olfactory stalk, olfactory tubercle, and piriform cortex) are poorly developed. Well-differentiated portions of the olfactory system in the human brain include the periamygdalar cortex, the olfactory-related portion of the entorhinal region, and the medial sub-nucleus of the amygdala. The septal nuclei and also hypothalamus receive information from the olfactory tract (Price 2004).
