From Embryology
| Week FA (GA) | Carnegie Stage | Event |
|---|---|---|
| week 4 (GA 6) | 11 | nasal epiblastic thickening appears |
| 12 | nasal field is well outlined | |
| week 5 (GA 7) | 15 | continuous cellulovascular strand seen between the nasal groove and the olfactory field |
| week 6 (GA 8) | 16 | vomeronasal groove appears. |
| 17 | olfactory nerve is organized into two plexuses, lateral and medial, the latter mingled with the terminal-vomeronasal complex. | |
| week 7 (GA 9) | 18 | olfactory bulb begins to appear |
| 19 | individualization of the olfactory bulb and nuclei, distinction between olfactory structures and terminal and vomeronasal ones begins to be clear. | |
| week 8 (GA 10) | 21 | structure of the olfactory bulb is evident. |
| 23 | olfactory strands are well individualized, and olfactory and terminal-vomeronasal fibers are easily distinguishable. | |
