note = "Funding Information: RESULTS Data for this study are shown in Table 1. Combined blinding and anosmia increased locomotor activity as compared to intact control animals (26.7 +-0.7 and 16.3 -+ 1.0, respectively) (p<0.001). Pinealectomy (17.2 \_+ 0.3) completely reversed this effect as did weekly implants of 1 Supported by NSF grant No. PCM-74-06276-A02. 2 Present address: Department of Zoology, Indiana University, 224 Jordan Hall, Bloomington, IN 47401. 3Present address: Department of Anatomy, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78284.",
