Axonal projections from the olfactory epithelium to the olfactory bulb are organized into
glomeruli according to the expressed odorant receptor. Using gene-targeted mice, we show that …

Olfactory-like chemosensory signaling occurs outside of the olfactory epithelium. We find
that major components of olfaction, including olfactory receptors (ORs), olfactory-related …

In vivo imaging of optic tectal neurons in the intactXenopus tadpole permits direct observation
of the structural dynamics that occur during dendritic arbor formation. Based on images of …

The large number of olfactory receptor genes necessitates high throughput methods to
analyze their expression patterns. We have therefore designed a high-density oligonucleotide …

INTRODUCTION The mammalian nose is arguably the best chemical sensor on the planet,
able to detect and discriminate among a large and diverse repertoire of mostly small, organic …

The mammalian odorant receptors (ORs) comprise a large family of G protein-coupled receptors
that are critical determinants of both the odorant response profile and the axonal identity …

A remarkable feature of peripheral olfactory projections in mammals is the convergence of
axons from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing the same odorant receptor (OR) into …

The nearly 2,000 glomeruli that cover the surface of the olfactory bulb are so distinctive that
they were noted specifically in the earliest of Cajal's catalogues. They have variously been …

Neuronal dendritic and axonal arbors grow to a characteristic size and then stabilize their
structures. Activity-dependent stop-growing signals may limit neuronal process elaboration. …

The piriform cortex (PCX) is the largest component of the olfactory cortex and is hypothesized
to be the locus of odor object formation. The distributed odorant representation found in …
