The peripheral olfactory system is able to recover after injury, ie, the olfactory epithelium
reconstitutes, the olfactory nerve regenerates, and the olfactory bulb is reinnervated, with a …

The main olfactory epithelium of the mouse is a mosaic of 2000 populations of olfactory
sensory neurons (OSNs). Each population expresses one allele of one of the 1000 intact …

Interactions of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) with supportive vasculature appear critical for
their maintenance and function, although the molecular details are still under investigation …

The sensory processing of odorants is a dynamic process that requires plasticity at multiple
levels. In the olfactory bulb (OB), inhibitory interneurons undergo lifelong replacement …

Neurogenesis, the division, migration, and differentiation of new neurons, occurs throughout
life. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been identified as a potential signaling …

The mouse's sense of smell is built of∼ 1000 input channels. Each of these consists of a
population of olfactory sensory neurons that express the same odorant receptor gene and …

Neurogenesis is the process by which cells divide, migrate, and subsequently differentiate
into a neuronal phenotype. Significant rates of neurogenesis persist into adulthood in two …

Background Activity-dependent competition that operates on branch stability or formation
plays a critical role in shaping the pattern and complexity of axonal terminal arbors. In the …

The whole‐cell configuration of the patch‐clamp technique, immunoprecipitation
experiments and unilateral naris occlusions were used to investigate whether the voltage …

Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium of the nose transduce chemical
odorant stimuli into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the OSNs' target …
