The primary olfactory cortex (POC) is the largest recipient of olfactory bulb projections. It has a functionally versatile organization with extensive reciprocal connections to several higher-order cortical regions likely resulting in specific brain signals. Here, we propose a Bayesian model-based clustering approach, applied solely to resting state functional MRI time courses, to identify intrinsic POC functional parcellations. Results of this study suggest that multiple regions within the POC, with clear inter-hemispheric correspondence and functional relevance, can be identified using resting state fMRI data.
