Female prairie voles (M. ochrogaster) exposed to a single drop of male urine on the upper lip showed changes in concentrations of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) and norepinephrine in olfactory bulb tissue; no such changes occurred in dopamine concentration. The changes were measured in the posterior but not the anterior olfactory bulb tissue of females within 1 h after they were exposed to urine. These females also showed rapid increases in serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone [LH]. Females exposed to water on the upper lip showed none of these changes. In this species LHRH and norepinephrine in the olfactory bulb may mediate LH release in response to external (pheromonal) chemical cues.
