Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rhinencephalon (specifically, the paleopallium of the rhinencephalon) is the structure in the central nervous system that receives sensory inputs from the nose (rhino- is the combining form for nasal). The occiput is the back of the skull. The optic radiations are nerve fibers in the brain that carry sensory information from the eyes toward the occipital lobe of the brain, where they are processed. The neurocranium is the part of the skull that protects the brain, eyes, nose, and ears.
