Optic nerve:
This is the name of the brain's SMELL Centre?

Here, fibres of the olfactory bulb (the brain's smell centre) can be found after they have exited the brain through a thin, perforated bone called the cribiform plate. Scent particles carried in the inhaled air dissolve onto the mucosa overlying these nerve endings, stimulating them to send signals back to the olfactry bulb. This is how we smell.
