Primary olfactory cortex

The primary olfactory cortex is a portion of the cerebral cortex involved in olfaction.[1][2][3]

Some sources state that it includes the prepyriform area and the entorhinal cortex,[4] whilst others state that it includes the prepyriform area and the periamygdaloid cortex.[5]
