A reference handbook of the medical sciences, embracing the entire range of scientific and practical medicine and allied science . the secondaryolfactory area at first were functionallymuch alike (cyclostomes); but in the courseof further evolution this primordial simplesecondary olfactory area becomes differen-tiated into many regions of very unlikenature. This specialization has takenplace under the influence of fibers ascend-ing from different lower non-olfactorycenters in the diencephalon, etc., forvarious kinds of olfactory correlations. Ingeneral, fibers from the hypothalamus havereached the medial and dorsal parts of theolfactory area, while those from the thal-amus have reached its lateral parts. In the mammals, accordingly, we recog-nize in the area olfactoria the followingparts: First, at the base of the olfactorybulb and extending more or less forwardinto the bulb is a 7iucleus olfactorius anterior, remnant of the primitive secondarynucleus which receives no important ascending tractsfrom the diencephalon. This is the region of the tri-gonum olfactorium of man. S?cond, we recognize an. corpuscorpus tr olf. lateralis f. endorhinalis hippocampicortex hippocampi)i^zona limitanstuberculum oLf.
