cortical nucleus

The cortical nucleus is involved in the sense of smell and pheromone-processing.

That is, these regions tend to vary in size and shape much more than other areas of the brain, such as deep cortical nuclei.

Among these nuclei are the basolateral complex, the cortical nucleus, the medial nucleus, and the central nucleus.

In non-transgenic mice β-catenin is abundant in cytoplasm but excluded from hippocampal, cerebellar or cortical nuclei (Fig.

Additional olfactory structures for which there is evidence for action on the establishment and display of maternal selectivity include the secondary and tertiary olfactory processing regions (piriform cortex, medial and cortical nuclei of the amygdala; orbitofrontal and frontal medial cortex, and entorhinal cortex).
