Abstract:

Electrical activity recorded from the olfactory bulbs and prepyriform cortex of guinea pigs, rats, and mice under conditions of spontaneous behavior and upon presentation of odor stimuli was analyzed in a comparative aspect. The dynamics of electrographic phenomena observed in rhinencephalic structures and the spectral composition of these phenomena are discussed considering the probability that the high-frequency components of this electrical activity are not directly related to realization of the olfactory function.

Keywords: rhinencephalic structures; olfactory bulbs; prepyriform cortex; spectral composition; olfacto-amygdalar rhythm; respiratory waves; high-frequency synchronized activity
