[Relation between neurogenesis and electrical responses of olfactory receptors].

Structural and functional changes in olfactory epithelium of laboratory mice were studied following the treatment of nasal cavity with zinc sulphate. Different concentrations of zinc sulphate caused olfactory epithelium cells destruction, moreover the degree of this destruction depended on concentration. Direct dependence between morphological regeneration and the EOG amplitude increase was observed after the treatment with 1% zinc sulphate.
