Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The olfactory bulbs are responsible for processing the sense of smell. They receive signals from neurons in the sinus cavity and transmit this information to other regions of the brain, including the thalamus and hippocampus. However, in this case, it is specifically the olfactory bulbs that are responsible for Jerry's ability to enjoy the smell of grass after it rains. The thalamus processes sensory information from all over the body, while the hippocampus is more involved in memory formation. The "opticfactory" bulbs listed in choice C are not a real brain structure.
