The anterior olfactory nucleus (AON) also called the anterior olfactory cortex, is a major early processing area for olfaction located behind the olfactory bulb, and in the olfactory tract (olfactory peduncle). The AON connects the olfactory processing centres of both hemispheres.[1]
It is involved in the sense of smell (olfaction), and has influence on other olfactory areas including the olfactory bulb and the piriform cortex.[2][3] The AON is one of the major secondary structures of olfaction.[4]
