Figure 1. Whisker tactile deprivation upregulates olfactory sensitivity in mice.

A) shows a “T” maze experiment to identify the olfactory sensitivity in the groups of control and whisker tactile deprivation. A mouse is placed in central arm. A food block (cheese) and a cheese-like block are randomly placed in one side of two arms. B) illustrates the statistical analysis for the successful rate of moving into cheese-containing arm versus mouse groups (two asterisks, p<0.001, n = 17).
