Anatomy and neurochemistry of the olfactory bulb

This chapter focuses on anatomical organization and neurotransmitters of the olfactory bulb, with an emphasis on afferent projections from brain sources. An overview of neuronal and molecular mechanisms underlying odor coding in the olfactory bulb is also provided. Most of the information comes from rodents; human data are presented, whenever possible. A number of original papers could not be cited due to space limitations
