Olfactory System
Hierarchy level in atlas is 2: 1 superstructures include it.
abbreviation: OlfAbbreviation
Olf
Species
Mouse
Description of part
Collator note: this term does not exist in the list of structures, but is cited as a superstructure in the section of delineation criteria (page 13). We consider it as the superstructure which contains the olfactory regions defined in this atlas and in Shipley et al. 1995. The abbreviation was adapted from the rat brain nomenclature Swanson 1998.
Part type
gray matter
Nomenclature
Paxinos/Franklin-2001
Endorsement
The approach used by the collator Mihail Bota is not endorsed by the author of the nomenclature.
Collator argument
The hierarchy was constructed following the associated reference and the Rat Brain Atlas, Swanson 1998.
