Abstract

Recent efforts to understand the contribution of neuronal activity in the creation of the olfactory sensory map have focused on odor-evoked events. In this issue of Neuron, Yu et al. discover a new role for neuronal activity in the organization and maintenance of the olfactory system. Their results highlight the role of spontaneous activity and synaptic transmission in axon outgrowth and olfactory neuron survival.

摘要

近期，为了解神经元活动在嗅觉感觉图谱形成过程中的作用所做的努力主要集中在气味诱发的事件上。在本期《神经元》杂志中，Yu等人发现了神经元活动在嗅觉系统的组织和维持中的新作用。他们的研究结果突出了自发活动和突触传递在轴突生长及嗅觉神经元存活中的作用。
