A preparation has been developed in the pigeon which allows recording of the electrical activity from an olfactory nerve twig containing the nonmyelinated axons of a small group of olfactory receptor cells. The pigeon's response to n-amylacetate is vigorous and stable, like that of other air-breathing animals. Responses in the olfactory receptor cells in the pigeon increased in magnitude with increase in the odor concentration. An olfactory nerve twig produced a different magnitude of responses to the various odor stimuli. When an odor stimulation was applied to the olfactory mucosa, the two different olfactory nerve twigs which were separated from the same olfactory nerve bundle produced a different magnitude of responses. The differences may be dependent on several factors.
已经在鸽子身上开发出一种制剂，它能够记录来自包含一小群嗅觉受体细胞的无髓轴突的嗅神经小枝的电活动。鸽子对正戊酸乙酯的反应强烈且稳定，与其他呼吸空气的动物一样。随着气味浓度的增加，鸽子嗅觉受体细胞的反应强度也会增加。嗅神经小枝对各种气味刺激产生不同强度的反应。当对嗅黏膜施加气味刺激时，从同一嗅神经束分离出的两条不同的嗅神经小枝会产生不同强度的反应。这些差异可能取决于几个因素。
