Central and Peripheral Influences on Postnatal Growth and Development of the Olfactory Bulb in the Rat

  • Chapter
Book cover Ontogeny of Olfaction

Abstract

Developmentally, the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB) shows a fairly orderly pattern of biochemical, structural, and functional development, similar to that seen in the cerebral cortex (for reviews see Meisami 1979; Shafa et al. 1980; Meisami and Timiras 1982). In altricial mammals such as the rat, much of this growth and development takes place postnatally, providing an excellent opportunity for experimental manipulation and investigation of the course and causes of neural development. Interestingly, the OB of the newborn rat, notwithstanding many immature features, still shows clear evidence of certain limited functions (Shafa et al. 1980; Leon 1983; Greer et al. 1982; Astic and Saucier 1982).
