Exploration of the meninges and brain in situ
Olfactory bulb and tract in situ
The view is from above and in front. A cut has been made through the basal ganglia close to the attachment of the olfactory tract to the base of the brain, and the left hemisphere removed. The olfactory bulb and tract remain in position on the floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The most medial part of the lateral fissure is opened from above and its contained vessels (28) exposed. The temporal pole is still present.
