Cell migration to the anterior and posterior divisions of the granule cell layer of the accessory olfactory bulb of adult opossums.
To test the hypothesis that differential addition of new cells occurs in the two functionally distinct divisions of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), the addition of bromodeoxyuridine-labeled cells was analyzed in the anterior and posterior subdivisions of the AOB as a function of post-injection survival time (0-11 days). One week postinjection, an increase of cells was detected in the granule layer but not in the glomerular or mitral/tufted cell layers. No evidence for differential addition of cells to the anterior and posterior divisions was observed.
