Axons from the olfactory bulb (OB) project to multiple central structures of the brain, many of which, in turn, send axons back into the OB and/or to one another. These secondary sensory regions underlie many aspects of odor representation, valence, and learning, as well as serving some nonolfactory functions, though many details remain unclear. We here describe the connectivity and essential structural and functional properties of these postbulbar olfactory regions in the mammalian brain.
来自嗅球（OB）的轴突投射到大脑的多个中枢结构，其中许多结构又将轴突传回嗅球和/或相互连接。这些二级感觉区域是气味表征、效价和学习等许多方面的基础，并且还具有一些非嗅觉功能，尽管许多细节仍不清楚。我们在此描述哺乳动物大脑中这些嗅球后嗅觉区域的连接性以及基本的结构和功能特性。
