The olfactory bulb is one of the structures of the limbic system and a very ancient part of the brain. As mentioned in the previous description of the olfactory process, the information captured by the sense of smell goes from the olfactory bulb to other structures of the limbic system.The limbic system is a network of connected structures near the middle of the brain linked within the central nervous system. The olfactory bulbs has sensory receptors that are actually part of the brain which send messages directly to: 2  The most primitive brain centers where they influence emotions and memories (limbic system structures), and. â 3 Higherâ centers where they modify conscious thought (neo-cortex).
The olfactory bulb is a part of the limbic system. Within the brain, the bulb is located in the forebrain, though in humans it sits at the bottom while in other vertebrates it sits at the very front.A bony structure called the cribiform plate cradles and protects it, and separates it from the nasal cavity.he process is similar for the accessory olfactory bulb, except the input being processed is pheremones instead of odors. A separate sensory organ located in the nose, the vomeronasal organ, detects pheremones and passes the signal via axons to the glomeruli in the accessory bulb.
