Theoretical consideration of olfactory axon projection with an activity-dependent neural network model.

Abstract excerpt

Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) that express a given odorant receptor (OR) target their axons onto a few specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Although the odorant receptor plays an indispensable role in olfactory axon targeting, the mechanisms underlying this guidance are largely unknown. In particular, there is much controversy regarding the involvement of activity-dependent mechanism in the targeting...
