Abstract The efferent projection fibers from the olfactory bulb have been studied using the Nauta‐Gygax and the Fink‐Heimer methods for degenerating axons after lesions were suitably placed by thermo‐coagulation. From the olfactory bulb efferent fibers by way of the ipsilateral lateral olfactory tract end as preterminal and terminal fibers in the lateral, the external and the ventral segments of the anterior olfactory nucleus; the lateral two‐thirds of the lateral olfactory tract, the cortical and the medial nuclei of the amygdaloid complex.
