Reviews recent data obtained after peripheral olfactory system damage which, when compared with bulbectomy data, suggest that the olfactory bulb has certain general modulatory functions in addition to its specific sensory role as initial processor of olfactory information. It is proposed that the olfactory bulb is involved in a forebrain arousal mechanism comprised mainly of hypothalamus and limbic system. Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence is discussed that supports the idea that the olfactory bulb may modulate the excitability of forebrain regions. Anatomical details of the system are considered, and its relationship to reinforcement mechanisms and to A. Routtenberg's (see PA, Vol 42: 5112 and 47: 244) Arousal System II is outlined.(5 p ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
