[A simple operation method on removal of olfactory bulbs of small rodents (author's transl)]

A simple operation method was described for removing the olfactory bulbs of small rodents. The procedure was as follows: 1. Animals were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium. 2. The hair of the head was clipped (Fig. 9). 3. The scalp was cut along the midline between the eyes (Fig. 10). 4. A hole was drilled in the skull overlying the olfactory bulbs (Fig, 14, 15). 5. The olfactory bulbs were aspirated with a glass pipette (Fig. 18). 6. After removing the bulbs by suction, the skin was closed by a single suture (Fig. 21).
