Sensitive period for neural and behavioral response development to learned odors.
Olfactory preference training early in life produces both a behavioral preference and an enhanced uptake of 2-deoxy-[14C]glucose (2-DG) in specific areas of the olfactory bulb glomerular layer. We now describe a sensitive period during the first week after birth for the development both of the enhanced neural response and the behavioral preference.
