Olfactory is a relatively important sensory system in many kinds of mammalian-species. Psychological, physiological, and ethological researches have indicated that olfactory inputs can exite, inhibit and direct many vital behavior and performance of learning task in the rodents. Many studies concerned with the effects of the olfactory stimuli on behavior have resorted to examination of the consequences of surgical ablation of the olfactory bulbs for producing anosmia in laboratory animals. Alberts and Galef (1971) recently showed that intranosal irrigation with zinc sulphate solution produced anosmia. Since this technique destroys the only olfactory epitherium, leaving the olfactory bulbs undamaged, it provides a method of separating the effects of olfactory system lesion from the effects of the sensory deficit alone. The prime purpose in this paper was to compare the effects of olfactory system lesion with mucosal damage on aggression, sexual and maternal behavior, and performance of learning task. The second purpose was to clarify the cause of behavioral effects produced by surgical ablation of olfactory system and by mucosal damage.
