Research Abstract |
Predator odors are known to induce fear and stress-like behavior in rodents, even if they have never been exposed to these odors before. We demonstrated that there were some odorants which could counteract predatory odors innately, however, there were at least two possible mechanisms to alleviate predator odor-induced stress in rodents. It would be important, not only for the elucidation of olfactory information processing, but also for the basis of anti-stress mechanisms.
