Fiber systems in the olfactory bulb and cortex: a study in adult and developing rats, using the timm method with the light and electron microscope.
Beth Friedman,Joseph L. Price +1 more
TL;DR: The structure of the olfactory bulb and cortex of rats is described using the Timm method, in which endogenous transition or “heavy” metals are precipitated with sulfide and then stained with silver, suggesting that the reactive metals are related to a membrane component which is recycled during secretion of synaptic transmitters.

Plasticity in the olfactory cortex: age-dependent effects of deafferentation.
Beth Friedman,Joseph L. Price +1 more
TL;DR: If the fibers from the olfactory bulb are removed, the dendrites of cortical cells are capable of accepting inputs from other fiber systems, depending on the maturational state of the dendedrites and the ingrowing axons.

Age‐dependent cell death in the olfactory cortex: Lack of transneuronal degeneration in neonates
Beth Friedman,Joseph L. Price +1 more
TL;DR: To investigate whether similar transneuronal degeneration occurs in immature animals, a series of rats were subjected to unilateral olfactory bulb removal at various ages during the first 3 postnatal weeks to provide an unusual example of dependence of a mature population of neurons on axonal input.

Establishment of normal synaptic density in deafferented olfactory cortex.
Beth Friedman,Joseph L. Price +1 more
TL;DR: The piriform cortex has been examined in rats following neonatal deafferentation produced by olfactory bulb removal and the denervated molecular layer of the Piriform cortex grows to nearly its full adult thickness and the removal olfaction bulb axons are replaced by intracortical axons.
