Abstract
Ablation of mouse olfactory bulbs lengthened the circadian period of wheel-running activity by 43 min and delayed the onset of entrained activity by 108 min. A transient increase in activity during the light phase of the 12:12 h light-dark photoperiod also occurred following surgery. These disruptions suggest that olfactory systems can modulate mammalian circadian rhythms.
