在完全犁鼻神经切断、部分嗅球切断或联合手术后，观察到未交配雌性大鼠对寄养幼鼠的母体反应。虽然犁鼻神经切断和嗅球切断导致产妇护理更快的发病，相对于对照动物假手术，动物持续的嗅觉输入的两个来源的损失表现出最短的反应潜伏期。本文还讨论了这两种嗅觉系统在控制大鼠母性行为中可能具有的不同功能。
The onset of maternal responsiveness by virgin female rats to foster pups was observed after complete vomeronasal nerve cuts, partial olfactory bulb cuts, or the combined procedures. Although both vomeronasal nerve cuts and olfactory bulb cuts resulted in a more rapid onset of maternal care, relative to control animals with sham operations, animals sustaining the loss of both sources of olfactory input exhibited the shortest response latency. The probable distinct functions of the 2 olfactory systems in the control of maternal behavior in the rat were discussed.
