title: Olfactory bulb neurons respond to cervicovaginal distension.
abstract: Mitral cell layer neuronal activity in the olfactory bulb (OB) of the anesthetized rat is modulated by cervicovaginal distension. Data are reported on 22 cells that decreased and 6 that increased in response to the distension. These results provide support for the existence of a functional interaction between the reproductive tract and the olfactory system.
