Olfactory Sulcus

Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed

This sulcus usually bends medially at its rostral extremity, but it occasionally bends laterally. Its caudal extremity usually forks: the medial branch is short, while the lateral is usually long and bends anteriorly to hook around or anastomose with the posterior orbital sulcus.
