Fig. 8

Superior views. a The olfactory bulbs are separated anteriorly by the crista galli and posteriorly by the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone (black dashed line). Anteriorly, a few fila olfactoria (arrows) are visible. b A virtual dissection of the olfactory bulbs exposes multiple fila olfactoria traversing the cribriform plate and a network of arterial vasculature (red). c Isolating the cribriform plate (gray) exposes the foramina (white dashed lines). There are 17 foramina on either side of the specimen, for a total of 34 foramina.
