Abstract:"By performing uni- and bilateral olfactory bulb lesions and uni- and bilateral transsections of the infraorbital branches of the trigeminal nerves in 2-day-old rabbits, it could be shown that: Both the olfactory and tactile modalities are essential for the successful performance of nipple-search behaviour. While bilateral bulbectomy completely eliminates searching, and hence suckling, unilateral bulbectomy has relatively little effect. Bilateral denervation of the muzzle does not eliminate searching, but pups are unable to suckle as they fail to show the mouth-opening component necessary for nipple attachment. In contrast to unilateral bulbectomy, unilateral denervation of the muzzle results in a lateralization of head movements during searching, nipple grasping and nipple release"
