ABSTRACT

Fig. 3. Analysis of the total numbers of 5-bromo-2'deoxyuridine {BrdU) -labeled cells in the dentate gyrus of adult male rats revealed a significant effect of olfactory experience (H(31 = 9.953; P = O.Oi9). Two hours after BrdU injection, rats that were exposed to fox odor, but not those exposed to mint or orange odor, exhibited fewer BrdUlabeled cells in the dentate gyrus compared with sham odor-exposed controls. Bars represent mean + SEM obtained from four to five animals. Asterisk indicates significant difference from sham odor control value (P < 0.05).
