Description:
Norway rat pups have an enhanced olfactory bulb response to a familiar odor. A specific complex of glomeruli showed increased carbon-14-labeled 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake in response to peppermint odor in 19-day-old pups exposed to peppermint on days 1 to 18 after birth, relative to control pups that had been exposed to clean air. The increased activity was not due to increased respiration of the familiar odor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Coopersmith, R -- Leon, M -- MH 0037/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- RRO 1192/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Aug 24;225(4664):849-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6474157" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
