Olfactory tract

The olfactory tract is a nerve pathway in the brain that carries smell information from the nose to various brain regions involved in perceiving and identifying odors. When you smell something, special sensory cells in your nose detect the odor molecules and send signals along the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb. From there, the signals travel through the olfactory tract to areas like the olfactory cortex, enabling you to recognize and interpret different smells. This pathway is essential for the sense of smell and related functions like taste and memory.
