Question: Olfactory sensation travels from the olfactory bulb toall of the following structures, except?

Options:

Anterior olfactory nucleus
Prepyriform cortex
Posterior entorhinal cortex
Superior colliculus

Correct Answer: Superior colliculus

Explaination: Olfaction involves transmission of sensory information through the olfactory bulb to the anterior olfactory nucleus, pre-pyriform cortex, amygdala, and posterior entorhinal cortex, which has extensive interactions with the hippocampus. This allows for elements of smell to be broken down into different components and even have smells associated with event memory and emotional memory. The superior colliculus is involved in vision, particularly orienting the eyes and head to different stimuli
