Cranial nerves are often considered part of the brain. That includes olfactory n. (CN I).
More precisely, this paper addresses damage to the olfactory bulb as well as the olfactory nerve. That's not in the nose - that's part of the brain proper, without any ambiguity at all.
- vmception 5y agookay, I understand, when people think brain damage, they aren't thinking about sensory inputs, they are thinking about thinking function. I can see how the line would be blurred to someone that cares. but maybe this is an indication of further damage to be investigated.
