The olfactory bulb is responsible for olfaction and the bulb itself is located within the rostral forebrain area, supported by the ''cribiform plate'' and the ''ethmoid bone''. The olfactory nerves are connected directly to the limbic system which is unique among mammalian sensory organs. As a result, olfaction plays a central role and is particularly important in regulating/stimulating sexual behaviour in many species. | The olfactory bulb is responsible for olfaction and the bulb itself is located within the rostral forebrain area, supported by the ''cribiform plate'' and the ''ethmoid bone''.
