depolarization of the receptor cells. Olfactory sensory information travels from the axon through the cribriform plate holes and mitral cell synapse. The mitral cells are located in the olfactory bulbs encompassing the olfactory tract. The data then travels through the olfactory tract to the primary olfactory cortex into the limbic system. The cortex than transmits the data to three regions: the thalamus‚ orbitofrontal cortex‚ and hypothalamus. The reception of the olfactory information in the orbitofrontal
