Effects of olfactory bulbectomy and domicile on stress-induced corticosterone release in the rat.
TL;DR: Two levels of corticosterone elevation were noted, an intermediate level (circa 40 μg/100 ml plasma), in bulbectomised animals without stress and in sham operated animals with stress, and the role of Corticosterone and ACTH in acquisition learning.

A new model for the detection of antidepressant drugs: Olfactory bulbectomy in the rat compared with existing models
TL;DR: The present study confirms the apparent lack of activity of mianserin in two other tests (reserpine reversal and potentiation of noradrenaline) and shows that, in the relatively low doses used in the bulbectomy model, the established antidepressants may also fail to give positive responses in these other tests.

The effect of psychoactive drugs on plasma corticosterone levels and behaviour in the bulbectomised rat
TL;DR: It is possible to separate the antidepressants from other major classes of psychotropic drugs with a profile similar to that of chlorpromazine except that it impaired acquisition in the SO group.

5-Hydroxytryptamine-lnduced hypothermia in rats as an in vivo model for the quantitative study of 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptors
TL;DR: The hypothermic response to 5-HT can be used for a quantitative study of drug action at central 5- HT receptors and is suggested to be of central origin.

Olfactory projection systems, drugs and behaviour: A review
TL;DR: OB has potential as a screening method for differentiating between various classes of psychotropic drugs and using two behavioural parameters, plus 11-OHCS measurements, it has proved possible to differentiate between anti-depressants, anti-anxiety agents, tranquilisers and central stimulants.
