The rostral migratory stream (RMS) is a specialized migratory route found in the brain of some animals along which neuronal precursors that originated in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the brain migrate to reach the main olfactory bulb (OB). The importance of the RMS lies in its ability to refine and even change an animal’s sensitivity to smells which explains its importance and larger size in the rodent brain as compared to the human brain as our olfactory sense is not as developed.
