Topic: Anterior olfactory nucleus


  
  Yale- Cranial Nerve 1, pg. 4
The olfactory bulb, which contains the cell bodies of the secondary sensory neurons, is an enlargement of the rostral end of the olfactory tract.
Tufted cells - project to the anterior olfactory nucleus and to the lateral, intermediate and medial olfactory areas of the rhinencephalon.
Postsynaptic fibers from the anterior olfactory nucleus project along with the mitral and tufted cell axons to the rhinencephalon or via the anterior commisure to the contralateral anterior olfactory nucleus.

 Central olfactory connections in the macaque monkey.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The connections between the olfactory bulb, primary olfactory cortex, and olfactory related areas of the orbital cortex were defined in macaque monkeys with a combination of anterograde and retrograde axonal tracers and electrophysiological recording.
Anterograde tracers placed into the olfactory bulb labeled axons in eight primary olfactory cortical areas: the anterior olfactory nucleus, piriform cortex, ventral tenia tecta, olfactory tubercle, anterior cortical nucleus of the amygdala, periamygdaloid cortex, and olfactory division of the entorhinal cortex.
Retrograde tracers injected into the olfactory bulb labeled cells in the nucleus of the diagonal band and in all of the primary olfactory cortical areas except the olfactory tubercle.

The mammalian olfactory bulb is densely innervated by zinc-enriched (ZEN) neurons, and the distribution of the ZEN terminals in the mouse olfactory bulb has previously been described.
After infusion of sodium selenide into the main olfactory bulb, retrogradely labeled ZEN somata were found (1) ipsilaterally in all anterior olfactory nuclei, taenia tecta, piriform cortex and lateral entorhinal cortex, and (2) contralaterally in anterior olfactory nuclei except the external division.
The ipsilateral anterior olfactory nucleus had the densest population of ZEN somata, and it was found that these somata originated mainly from pyramidal neurons in layers II and III of each area.

The anterior olfactory nucleus receives collateral fibers from the olfactory tract and projects to the contralateral olfactory bulb and anterior olfactory nucleus via the anterior commissure.
Olfactory dysfunction is a hallmark of certain syndromes such as Kallmann syndrome (ie, hypogonadism with anosmia) and Foster Kennedy syndrome (ie, papilledema, unilateral anosmia, and optic atrophy usually associated with an olfactory groove meningioma).
Olfactory structures also can be injured during craniotomies involving the anterior cranial base or from subarachnoid hemorrhage, which may disrupt the fine fibers of the olfactory nerve.

 Parallel-distributed Processing In Olfactory Cortex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The anterior olfactory cortex (that has been inappropriately termed the anterior olfactory nucleus) detects and stores correlations between olfactory features, creating representations (gestalts) for particular odorants and odorant mixtures.
PC carries out functions that have traditionally defined association cortex-it detects and learns correlations between olfactory gestalts formed in anterior olfactory cortex and a large repertoire of behavioral, cognitive and contextual information to which it has access through reciprocal connections with prefrontal, entorhinal, perirhinal and amygdaloid areas.
Architectural features incorporated include extensive recurrent connectivity in anterior PC, predominantly feedforward connectivity in posterior PC and backprojections that connect distal to proximal structures in the cascade of olfactory cortical areas.

Olfactory neuroblasts generated from donors with the common, sporadic forms of Alzheimer's disease, show elevated levels of the direct precursor to beta-amyloid, the amyloid precursor protein C-terminal derivative (CTD).
Olfactory nerves were distinguished from other axons because the latter were positive for all three NF subunits and peripherin, in addition to vimentin and GAP-43.
Anatomically, the olfactory bulbs project through the lateral olfactory tracts to the olfactory tubercules, the pyriform cortex, the cortical amygdala nucleus, and the ventrolateral entorhinal area.

While they found evidence for the existence of receptors in the vomeronasal epithelium similar to those in the olfactory epithelium, they suggested that the lack of intraepithelial blood vessels and mitotic figures in the epithelium indicated that the organ was undergoing degeneration at 28 weeks of gestation (Nakashima, Kimmelman and Snow, 1985).

The unmyelinated processes from the olfactory hair cells in the nasal mucosa pierce the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone and terminate on neurons in the olfactory bulb, which is in the frontal fossa of the cranial cavity.
No, the answer is C. There are about 50 million olfactory hair cells in the nasal mucosa (each projecting an olfactory nerve fiber) and 50,000 primary neurons (mitral and tufted cells) giving a 1000 to 1 ratio.
No, the answer is D. The stria terminalis arises primarily from the corticomedial nuclei and its fibers project to septal nuclei, anterior olfactory nucleus, anterior hypothalamus, bed nucleus of stria terminalis and habenular nuclei via the stria medullaris.

Target areas are the anterior olfactory nucleus, the entire prepiriform cortex, ventral tenia tecta, periamygdaloid cortex and the rostral part of the entorhinal cortex.
The bulbar axons predominantly terminate in the outer part of layer I. The anterior olfactory nucleus receives a weak additional input within layer II and III, which is not found in macrosmatic rodents.
Further anterograde labelling was found in the endopiriform nucleus deep under the prepiriform cortex and within an anterolateral strip of the olfactory tubercle.
