Tritiated thymidine prelabeled presumptive olfactory bulbs (E15-E17, and E19) were homotopically transplanted in unilaterally partially or totally bulbectomized neonatal rats (P1-P5). [3H]thymidine was injected to pregnant rats at the time when the large neurons of the bulb were undergoing cellular division. After postoperative survival times from 20 days to 7 months, the animals were sacrificed and processed for histological, immunohistochemical and autoradiographic observations. The nuclear autoradiographic label allowed easy recognition of the transplanted tissue in totally bulbectomized animals after short survival and in partially bulbectomized animals after long survival. The autoradiographic label was strictly confined to the transplanted tissue and intermingling of host and donor neurons was never observed. The reliability of the autoradiographic technique in our study will enable us to mark those neurons whose axons can be demonstrated, by retrograde tracing methods, to establish connections with the host brain.

D009830 Olfactory Bulb Ovoid body resting on the CRIBRIFORM PLATE of the ethmoid bone where the OLFACTORY NERVE terminates. The olfactory bulb contains several types of nerve cells including the mitral cells, on whose DENDRITES the olfactory nerve synapses, forming the olfactory glomeruli. The accessory olfactory bulb, which receives the projection from the VOMERONASAL ORGAN via the vomeronasal nerve, is also included here.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D005333 Fetus The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after CONCEPTION until BIRTH, as distinguished from the earlier EMBRYO, MAMMALIAN.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001345 Autoradiography The making of a radiograph of an object or tissue by recording on a photographic plate the radiation emitted by radioactive material within the object. (Dorland, 27th ed) Radioautography
