Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The olfactory bulb is responsible for processing information about smell, and is the first part of the brain to receive incoming information from receptor cells in the nose. The thalamus processes information from all sensory modalities, including smell, but is not the first stop for smell information. The prefrontal cortex is involved in higher order processing of sensory information, but is not the initial processing site for smell. The spinal cord is not involved in processing smell information.
