Vesicular Diversity and Crowding within the Olfactory Sensory Receptor Neuron
نویسندگان
چکیده
The olfactory sensory receptor neuron (OSRN) is an important cellular component of the vertebrate olfactory system that are responsible for detection and discrimination of different type of chemical cues from the external environment [1]. The neural communication between the sensory receptor cells is generally mediated through vesicles [2]. The fine structural details of OSRN aim to unfold the vesicular morphometry, trafficking and crowding in relation to olfactory signal transduction in a mudskipper [Pseudapocryptes lanceolatus] of South East Asia.

Combinatorial Rules of Precursor Specification Underlying Olfactory Neuron Diversity
BACKGROUND Sensory neuron diversity ensures optimal detection of the external world and is a hallmark of sensory systems. An extreme example is the olfactory system, as individual olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) adopt unique sensory identities by typically expressing a single receptor gene from a large genomic repertoire. In Drosophila, about 50 different ORN classes are generated from a fiel...
متن کاملSelective imaging of the receptor neuron population in the olfactory bulb of zebrafish and mice.
The neuronal processing of odors takes place in several types of neurons, including the sensory neurons, projection neurons and interneurons. To understand the neuronal representation of odors and eventually the encoding of those odors it is important to selectively measure the contributions of the different neuron populations to odor-induced neuronal activity. We are analyzing the odor respons...

Sensory neuron diversity is required for organisms to decipher complex environmental cues. In Drosophila, the olfactory environment is detected by 50 different olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) classes that are clustered in combinations within distinct sensilla subtypes. Each sensilla subtype houses stereotypically clustered 1-4 ORN identities that arise through asymmetric divisions from a single...
متن کاملVariation in olfactory neuron repertoires is genetically controlled and environmentally modulated
The mouse olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) repertoire is composed of 10 million cells and each expresses one olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a pool of over 1000. Thus, the nose is sub-stratified into more than a thousand OSN subtypes. Here, we employ and validate an RNA-sequencing-based method to quantify the abundance of all OSN subtypes in parallel, and investigate the genetic and environment...

UNLABELLED Serious permanent neurological or psychiatric dysfunction may result from virus infections in the central nervous system (CNS). Olfactory sensory neurons are in direct contact with the external environment, making them susceptible to infection by viruses that can enter the brain via the olfactory nerve. The rarity of full brain viral infections raises the important question of whethe...
