... (Dinornithiformes). We also examine the cytoarchitecture of the olfactory bulbs and olfactory epithelium to determine if any neural specializations beyond size are present that would increase olfactory acuity. Kiwi were a clear outlier in our analysis, with olfactory bulbs that are proportionately larger than those...

... capabilities and olfaction-dependent behaviors. In this study, the number of olfactory lamellae and the surface area of the olfactory epithelium were measured as a means of assessing relative olfactory sensitivity in four species of wobbegong shark (the Western wobbegong, Orectolobus hutchinsi ; the spotted...

...K. Larsson The olfactory epithelium and the afferent nerve fibers to the olfactory lobes were destroyed in one group of rats, while in another the olfactory peduncle was destroyed bilaterally. Following either operation the animals showed an impaired sexual behavior. They mounted, intromitted...

...Anne Hansen; Thomas E. Finger The olfactory epithelium of teleost fishes contains ciliated and microvillous olfactory receptor neurons intermingled with supporting cells. Recently the crypt cell, a third type of olfactory receptor neuron (ORN), was described for two ostariophysans. This type of ORN...
