TI  - Recovery of olfactory behavior following removal of accessory olfactory bulb in 
      adult rat.
PG  - 45-52
AB  - It has been shown that male rats demonstrate a preference for the odor of the 
      female rat. This preference has been suggested to be a function of the accessory 
      olfactory pathway. Thus, changes in preference of the male rat for the odor of 
      the female were examined following accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) removal. 
      Preference decreased to about 30% of that seen in the intact rat during the 10 
      days following AOB removal. Thereafter, it increased gradually over one month 
      survival time up to approximately 70% of the level demonstrated by the intact 
      rat. The rats whose main olfactory bulb and AOB were removed did not show any 
      recovery at any survival time. The time course of the behavioral recovery after 
      AOB removal was compared with the time course of the recovery of synaptic density 
      which was observed in the medial amygdaloid nucleus after AOB removal. The 
      relationship between functional recovery and reorganization of synaptic 
      connections is discussed.
