TI  - Olfactory cues and accessory olfactory bulb lesion: effects on sexual behavior in 
      the cyclic female rat.
PG  - 45-8
AB  - The influence of olfactory cues and accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) lesion on 
      female sexual behavior was studied in virgin female Wistar rats. In Experiment 1, 
      it appeared that distance or contact exposure to male urine soiled bedding for 8 
      hours before testing increased sexual receptivity, i.e., the number of receptive 
      females at 18:00-19:00 on proestrus. In Experiment 2, we observed that sexual 
      receptivity at 18:00-19:00 on proestrus was not affected by AOB lesion as 
      compared to sham-operated females. In Experiment 3 the effects of both AOB lesion 
      and olfactory cues were analyzed. Sexual receptivity at 18:00-19:00 on proestrus 
      did not significantly differ in sham-operated and accessory olfactory 
      bulbectomized females both exposed to the odor of male urine. Regarding lordosis 
      quotient in the three experiments, no significant difference was observed. 
      Mechanisms whereby olfactory cues and/or AOB lesion modified female sexual 
      behavior on proestrus in virgin female rats were discussed in the light of 
      previous and present observations.
