Abstract excerpt
Peripheral afferent innervation appears to be required for the expression of the dopamine phenotype in the rodent main olfactory bulb. Experiments utilizing neonatal naris closure as a means of sensory deprivation also suggest that odor-induced afferent activity is required for the expression of the phenotype. These experiments are confounded, however, by the significant postnatal maturation of the dopamine...
