Abstract

Thousands of neurons expressing a given mouse odorant receptor project to a few glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. New observations on mice expressing small odorant receptor transgenes provide support for the idea that interdependence is involved in the maturation of this remarkable convergence.

摘要

表达特定小鼠嗅觉受体的数千个神经元投射到嗅球中的少数几个嗅小球。对表达小型嗅觉受体转基因的小鼠的新观察结果支持了这样一种观点，即相互依赖性参与了这种显著汇聚现象的成熟过程。
