Abstract excerpt
Foxg1 is a transcription factor that plays important roles in the development of the nervous and sensory systems. In the olfactory epithelium, it is known that Foxg1 is necessary for the development of subsets of olfactory sensory neurons, though its precise role remains undefined. In this study, we show that in zebrafish Foxg1a is required for the formation of microvillous olfactory sensory neurons, as well as...
