Note Average c-fos glomerular activation patterns for H-2b, H-2bm8, H-2bm1, and H-2k male urine odor in the main olfactory bulbs of H-2d female mice. A, Schematic illustrating the positional relationship between various regions of the MOB and the two-dimensional contour maps. B-F, Color contour maps of averaged evoked glomerular activity. B, H-2b odor map (n = 8); C, H-2bm8 odor map (n = 7); D, H-2bm1 odor map (n = 8); E, H-2k odor map (n = 6); F, control showing average map for mice exposed to fresh air (n = 3). Color bar to the right of B shows the density of active glomeruli (number of positive glomeruli per bin) for B-F.
