[Morphofunctional changes in olfactory bulb after elimination of smell stimuli (I). Morphologic study].
We study the olfactory bulb plasticity by olfactory deprivation in the jerbil (Meriones Unguiculatus). We analyze what effects has the odorous stimuli privation in the first days after the birth on the olfactory bulb. We have found that this stimuli absence reduces the size of the bulb in the discussed side and alters the volumes of some of the bulbars layers. This indicates that the structural development of the nervous system specifies of an integrity of their sensorial afferencies.
