ABSTRACT
In this chapter we review central olfactory structures (Fig. 1), with an emphasis on those receiving direct inputs from the olfactory bulb, generally referred to as secondary olfactory structures (Fig. 2) (see Chapter 7). We will first provide an overview of these secondary olfactory structures, then describe their common organizational principles, provide detailed descriptions of the incoming and outgoing projections of each structure, and finally discuss evidence regarding their putative olfactory functions.
