Olfactory Bulb
The olfactory bulb is a bulb-like neural structure located at the anterior tip of the frontal lobe, serving as the origin of the olfactory nerves. As depicted in anatomical side views of the human head, it receives sensory signals directly from olfactory receptor cells within the nasal cavity and relays this olfactory information to other brain areas, including the primary olfactory cortex and the limbic system.
