AB  - This study employed a range of neuroanatomical stains to determine the 
      organization of the main and accessory olfactory systems within the brain of the 
      tree pangolin. The tree pangolin has a typically mammalian olfactory system, but 
      minor variations were observed. The main olfactory system is comprised of the 
      layered main olfactory bulb (MOB), the anterior olfactory nucleus (AON), the 
      rostral olfactory cortex (including the taenia tecta, anterior hippocampal 
      continuation and induseum griseum), the olfactory tubercle (Tu), the lateral 
      olfactory tract (lot) and the olfactory limb of the anterior commissure, the 
      nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract (NLOT), the piriform cortex (PIR) and a 
      typically mammalian rostral migratory stream (RMS). The accessory olfactory 
      system included the layered accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) and the nucleus of the 
      accessory olfactory tract (NAOT). Volumetric analysis of the relative size of the 
      MOB and PIR indicate that the tree pangolin has an olfactory system that occupies 
      a proportion of the brain typical for the majority of mammals. Within the MOB, 
      the glomeruli of the tree pangolin, at 200 mum diameter, are larger than observed 
      in most other mammalian species, and the MOB lacks a distinct internal plexiform 
      layer. In addition, the laminate appearance of the NLOT was not observed in the 
      tree pangolin. The accessory olfactory system appears to lack the posterior 
      compartment of the accessory olfactory bulb. These observations are 
      contextualized in relation to olfactory-mediated behaviors in pangolins.
