Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together the region of the olfactory cortex that receives direct input from the olfactory bulb and is considered the primary site or initial processing of olfactory information is called, what is it? Answer choice. A the por cortex. Answer choice B the hippocampus, answer choice C the amygdala or answer choice D the olfactory trickle. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the name for the primary site of the initial processing of olfactory information. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the olfactory cortex and what is considered the primary site or the initial processing of olfactory information. And we can recall that the primary site for the initial processing of olfactory information and the region that plays a crucial role in the interpretation and processing of olfactory stimuli is the por cortex. So answer choice, a pure form cortex is the correct answer. And all other answer choices are incorrect as the hippocampus is responsible for memory processing. The Amygdala is responsible for emotional processing and the olfactory tracle is not considered the primary site for initial processing. So answer choice A is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
