Three‐Dimensional Structure of the Nasal Passageway of a Hagfish and its Implications for Olfaction

From high‐resolution (65 μm) data acquired by magnetic resonance imaging, we have reconstructed the nasal passageway of a single adult hagfish specimen (probably Eptatretus stoutii). We have used this reconstruction to investigate how the anatomy and morphometry of the nasal passageway influence the...
