Olfactory Stimulation Regulates the Birth of Neurons That Express Specific Odorant Receptors

Olfactory Stimulation Regulates the Birth of Neurons That Express Specific Odorant Receptors

Summary: In mammals, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are born throughout life, ostensibly solely to replace damaged OSNs. During differentiation, each OSN precursor “chooses,” out of hundreds of possibilities, a single odorant receptor (OR) gene, which defines the identity of the mature OSN. The re...
