Note c-fos glomerular activation patterns for H-2k male urine odor in the main olfactory bulbs of H-2d female mice. A-D, F-G, Color contour maps of evoked glomerular activity. A-D, Individual H-2k urine odor maps. F, Average H-2k urine odor map constructed from A-D. E, Diagram illustrating regions of activity in the main olfactory bulb as shown in F. L, Lateral; V, ventral; CM, caudomedial; DM, dorsomedial. G, Control showing average map for mice exposed to fresh air (n = 3). H, Normalized SD (SD/average) map for A-D. Color bar on the top of A shows the density of active glomeruli (number of positive glomeruli per bin) for A-D and F-G. Color bar on the top of H shows the range of the variability (two is most variable) in H.
