Requirement for Slit-1 and Robo-2 in zonal segregation of olfactory sensory neuron axons in the main olfactory bulb [PDF]
, 2007 The formation of precise stereotypic connections in sensory systems is critical for the ability to detect and process signals from the environment. In the olfactory system, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) project axons to spatially defined glomeruli ...

A further analysis of olfactory cortex development
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2012 The olfactory cortex is a complex yet evolutionarily well-conserved brain region, made up of heterogeneous cell populations that originate in different areas of the developing telencephalon.

Sensory memory for odors is encoded in spontaneous correlated activity between olfactory glomeruli [PDF]
, 2006 Sensory memory is a short-lived persistence of a sensory stimulus in the nervous system, such as iconic memory in the visual system. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying olfactory sensory memory.

The glia response after peripheral nerve injury: A comparison between Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing cells and their uses for neural regenerative therapies [PDF]
, 2017 The peripheral nervous system (PNS) exhibits a much larger capacity for regeneration than the central nervous system (CNS). One reason for this difference is the difference in glial cell types between the two systems.

Description and Characterisation of a Large Array of Sensors Mimicking an Artifical Olfactory Epithelium [PDF]
, 2014 Biological olfactory systems show high sensitivity and exquisite discriminatory capacity to odorants. These characteristics are due to hierarchical signal processing of the large numbers of sensory inputs that occurs within the olfactory system.

The Neurotransmitter Receptor Architecture of the Mouse Olfactory System
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 The uptake, transmission and processing of sensory olfactory information is modulated by inhibitory and excitatory receptors in the olfactory system. Previous studies have focused on the function of individual receptors in distinct brain areas, but the ...

Regulatory mechanisms in olfactory system assembly and function [PDF]
, 2012 The mammalian sense of smell relies on the detection of odorants by a large family of G protein coupled receptors, encoded by ~1300 different genes in mice (Buck and Axel, 1991; Zhang et al., 2007).
