Besides the studies regarding the functions of the ECS in primary olfactory structures, it is important to take into account that CB1 receptors are present and modulate associated olfactory areas (i.e., amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, hippocampus or periaqueductal gray; [41,42,43,44]), suggesting that olfactory processing that involves the control of different brain structures might also be modulated by the ECS.
