What is unique about the pathway of the neurons of olfaction? A. travels to the thalamus before reaching olfactory cortex B. olfactory stimulation reaches the cerebral cortex directly C. little to no convergence occurs along the olfactory pathway D. stimulated by chemical substances E. only sense with a sensory cortex in the cerebrum

How does the input of olfactory information to the brain differ from other sensory input pathways? a. it does not require the cortex for higher order processing. b. direct connections to the thalamus are not made before information reaches the cortex. c. the first direct connection is to the thalamus and not to the medulla. d. prior to making connections with the medulla, sensory input travels through the spinal cord?

In the context of the chemical senses, which of the following is true of the neural pathway of smell? Group of answer choices It passes through the thalamus. It does not go through the limbic system. It is the same as that of other sensory pathways. It goes straight to the olfactory areas in the temporal lobe.
