Synopsis

No one can deny that the studying of olfactory system is very important, as olfaction is essential for the survival and growth of young mammals. This book is a good reference for medical researchers as it sheds light on the effects of retinoic acid administration during gestation on postnatal development of the olfactory system. The histological structure of the olfactory epithelium, olfactory bulbs and piriform cortex was studied on rat at different postnatal ages, starting from birth till adult, by light and electron microscopy. Finally, this book does not only have a unique idea, but it is also provided with an atlas of pictures and knowledge to give a detailed description of the normal histological structure of various parts of the olfactory system that – unfortunately - are not highlighted by many authors.
