Abstract
Although avian olfaction has been studied behaviorally and anatomically, fe w electrophysiological (EEG) studies exist. The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of the olfactory function of the fowl with EEG recording. We found that slow waves decreased and the rapid waves increase d in response to a variety of odors. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rig hts reserved.
