what does the olfactory tubercle do
The role of the olfactory tubercle in odor information processing. The role of the olfactory tubercle in olfactory coding has received relatively little attention. This may be due to historical patterns of research interest in the olfactory bulb and piriform cortex leading future researchers to follow in suit.hus, both accessory and main olfactory systems converge in the olfactory tubercleâpresenting this structure as a âmixedâ olfactory cortex (Martinez-Marcos, 2009). These anatomical points highlight the likely role of the tubercle in the processing of odors.
