The effect of bedding exposure on BrdU-labeling depends on an intact olfactory pathway. Both olfactory bulb lesions (OBX) and vomeronasal organ removal (VNOX) resulted in a reduction of BrdU-labeling in the amygdala (AMY) in female prairie voles (a). In addition, exposure to male-bedding induced an increase in BrdU-labeling in the AMY only in intact, but not OBX and VNOX, females. OBX and VNOX also reduced BrdU-labeling in the dentate gyrus (DG), but bedding exposure did not alter BrdU-labeling in the DG in any groups (b). Error bars represent SEM. Alphabetic letters indicate results from the SNK post-hoc tests. Bars with different letters differ significantly from each other.
