Description
Rui Alvites and co-authors take first measures of the smell bulb in the cat's brain, and tie its shape to the shape of the skull. Their 2024 study uses MRI scans of forty cats, read in the side plane. The smell bulb sits at the front of the brain and its form in cats was barely charted.
Cats with short, flat faces had compact bulbs that sat low and made a small angle with a skull line. Long-faced cats had rounder, wider bulbs that sat higher with a larger angle. Mid-faced cats fell between. Males and younger adults had larger bulb cross-sections than females and older cats. The authors offer the map as a base for vets who read cat brain scans.
