Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitral and tufted cells are found in the olfactory bulb and project to other areas of the brain, including the olfactory cortex, amygdala, and other regions involved in scent processing. The piriform cortex and entorhinal cortex are both part of the olfactory cortex and receive input from the olfactory bulb, but the mitral and tufted cells themselves are not found in these areas. The cribriform plate is a bony structure in the skull through which the olfactory nerves pass, but it does not contain mitral or tufted cells. The anterior cingulate gyrus is not directly involved in the olfactory system.
