Abstract
Since Papez ('37) published his paper A Proposed Mechanism of Emotion, in which he suggested that certain regions of the brain, traditionally allocated to the "rhinencephalon" may play a role in emotional behavior, these regions of the forebrain have received considerable attention from neuroanatomists, neurophysiologists and clinical neurologists. The term, "rhinencephalon" in its broadest sense has included the following regions: the olfactory bulb, the prepyriform cortex, pyriform cortex or hippocampal gyrus, the olfactory tubercle, the septum, the cingulate gyrus and the hippocampus (i.e. Ammon's horn) and the fascia dentata. Recently, however, some investigators, for example Brodal ('47), have questioned the olfactory nature of some of these structures. The present study is an analysis of some of the electrical anatomical investigations being carried out in this laboratory and it is an attempt to determine which of these structures are truly olfactory.
