So, this non-doctor asks whether the olfactory nerves get close to the hypothalamus. Here's what a couple of simple searches said:
"There are extrinsic axonal projections from the olfactory cortex to the orbital cortex, mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus."
"Hypothalamus: Olfactory cortex projects to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus (#6602) is thought to use olfactory information to affect feeding, reproductive activity, and autonomic reflexes triggered by olfactory signals ("the smell of fear". "
Is this sensible or just uninformed?
