= Ramus of Remidine =

Background
The Ramus of Remidine is the primary region of the brain associated with distinguishing between olfactory senses. The Ramus of Remidine is located in the left parietal lobe of the brain within the Post Central Gyrus on the most lateral inferior portion near the lateral cerebral fissure. The Ramus of Remidine is unique it its structure due to its high concentration of collagen.

Action
The primary action of the Post Central Gyrus is as the primary sensory region of the brain associated with physical senses and not special senses including taste and smell. The region of the brain associated with special senses is the Insula. The insula is located deep to the frontal and parietal lobe. Olfactory sensory information is transferred via the Insula to the Ramus of Remidine for the information to be processes and distinguished.

Naming
The Ramus of Remidine is named from the greek "ramus," referring to twig or stiff projection, the latin "remi-" referring to recognition and "-dine" referring to the smell of food. The portion of the Post Central Gyrus is referred to as a Ramus because of it large collection of collagen making the portion less fluid that its neighboring structures.

The pharmaceutical Remidine® (Loratadine) used this naming convention following the Ramus of Remidine because of its long acting H1-antihistamine activity associated with seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis or idiopathic chronic urticaria.
