This may explain why temporal lobe epilepsy that involves the uncinate often produces parageusias of burning rubber, sometimes referred to as uncinate fits (Acharya et al. 1996). Some of the efferent projections of the mitral and tufted cells decussate in the anterior commissure and form the medial olfactory tract. They then synapse in the contralateral parolfactory area and the contralateral subcallosal gyrus. The exact function of the medial olfactory stria and the tract is not clear. The accessory olfactory bulb receives afferent fibers from the bed nucleus of the accessory olfactory tract and the medial and posterior corticoamygdaloid nuclei.
