Positional cues that are strictly localized in the telencephalon induce preferential growth of mitral cell axons.

Abstract excerpt

In mice, mitral cells are the major efferent neurons of the main olfactory bulb and elongate axons into a very narrow part of the telencephalon to form a fiber bundle referred to as the lateral olfactory tract (LOT). To clarify the mechanisms responsible for guidance of mitral cell axons along this particular pathway, we co-cultured mouse embryo main olfactory bulbs with the telencephalons, and analyzed the...
