Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olfactory information is processed by the cortex via the olfactory bulbs. The olfactory bulbs receive input from the olfactory receptors and send it to the cortex for further processing and perception of smell. While the thalamus is involved in sensory processing, it does not play a significant role in olfactory processing. The spinal cord and medulla are not directly involved in olfactory processing.
