▪ Abstract Olfaction begins with the transduction of the information carried by odor molecules
into electrical signals in sensory neurons. The activation of different subsets of sensory …

The vomeronasal organ of mammals is an olfactory sensory structure that detects
pheromones. It contains two subsets of sensory neurons that differentially express Gα o and …

Odors are thought to be represented by a distributed code across the glomerular modules in
the olfactory bulb (OB). Here, we optically imaged presynaptic activity in glomerular modules …

The vomeronasal organ (VNO) mediates detection of pheromones related to social and
reproductive behavior in most terrestrial vertebrates. We have identified a new multigene …

Zone-to-zone projection of olfactory and vomeronasal sensory axons underlies the
topographic and functional mapping of chemoreceptor expression zones of the sensory …

The photoreceptor cells of the Drosophila compound eye are precisely organized in
elementary units called ommatidia. The outer (R1-R6) and inner (R7, R8) photoreceptors …

Chronic single-unit recordings were obtained from the mitral celllayer of the olfactory bulbs
of awake freely moving rats placed in anodorant stream. Over periods up to five days, 618 …

Fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH) has been shown to discriminate between
unreplicated and replicated regions of the genome in interphase nuclei, based on the …

We have characterized the organization and expression of odorant receptor genes clustered
within∼ 100 kb of the zebrafish genome. Physical analysis of this genomic region reveals …

Two different polyclonal antibodies were raised to synthetic peptides corresponding to
distinct putative odour receptors of rat and mouse. Both antibodies selectively labelled …
