Olfactory tubercle
| Name: | Olfactory tubercle |
| Description: | Region in the ventral telencephalon, prominent in rodents, but present in all mammals, consisting of a laminated cortical part and the cap/hilus region. It is traditionally viewed as part of the olfactory cortex but recognized by some as having a striatal character. According to many authors, the structure of the OT transitions from cortical like to striatal like along the lateral medial axis. (Maryann Martone) |
| Synonym(s): | anterior perforated space, anterior perforated substance, Tuberculum olfactorium |
| Is part of: | Telencephalon, Olfactory system, Ventral striatum, Olfactory cortex |
| Abbreviation: | OT, Tu |
| Super-category: | Regional part of brain |
