Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olfactory neurons first transmit their action potential to the olfactory bulb, which is a central nervous system structure responsible for processing and integrating information about odorants. The information is then transmitted to other brain regions such as the amygdala and cerebral cortex. The accessory olfactory bulb is involved in processing pheromones and is connected to the main olfactory system. The cerebellum is involved in motor control and coordination, and is not directly related to olfactory processing.
