Abstract

Olfactory receptor neurons project from the sensory epithelium to stereotyped targets within the olfactory bulb. Recent studies suggest that the generation of this precise spatial map probably involves a hierarchy of guidance events, as receptor neurons integrate information present in the epithelium and bulb to reach their target.
