The olfactory cortex is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe, in the uncus (aka piriform lobe). This cortex is where you get sensation of smell, before you’ve figure out what the smell is. On top of the cribriform are the nasal foramina and they hit the olfactory bulb which then run toward the primary olfactory cortex through the olfactory tract. ![]() Something that isn’t shown is the vestibular cortex which is located in the insula, just below the temporal and frontal lobes. These are represented with dark blue in the diagrams and include somatosensory, visual, auditory, vestibular, taste, smell, visceral sensations.
