The anlage of the olfactory nerve is formed by the growth of fibers and the migration of cells toward the brain. These form a bundle which stretches obliquely upward toward the ventral wall of the forebrain. This bundle constitutes the embryonic olfactory nerve. At the time of the initial attachment of the olfactory nerve to the forebrain there is no indication of an olfactory bulb. A slight protrusion soon develops in the region of the attachment of the olfactory nerve to the brain. This protrusion of the brain is the anlage of the olfactory bulb. The bulb develops as an evagination of the wall of the forebrain. The olfactory bulb enlarges and the embryonic olfactory nerve spreads out into a layer of fibers which partially covers the surface of the bulb. In its early development the olfactory bulb is directed downward and slightly backward. It is gradually directed forward as development continues.
