Generation of neuronal diversity is a biological strategy widely used in the brain to process
complex information. The olfactory bulb is the first relay station of olfactory information in the …

Olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) are a specialized type of glia that guide primary olfactory
axons from the neuroepithelium in the nasal cavity to the brain. The primary olfactory system …

Matricellular proteins are secreted proteins that exist at the border of cells and the
extracellular matrix (ECM). However, instead of playing a role in structural integrity of the …

Neurogenesis underlies plastic changes in defined neuronal circuits in the postnatal and
adult brain. Here we identify connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) as a critical factor in the …

Neurogenesis of projection neurons requires that axons be initiated, extended, and
connected. Differences in the expression of axon growth and guidance genes must drive …

Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are thought to use activity-dependent and independent
mechanisms to regulate the expression of axon guidance genes. However, defining the …

Notch receptors are expressed in neurons and glia in the adult nervous system, but why this
expression persists is not well-understood. Here we examine the role of the Notch pathway …

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are neural crest‐derived glia that ensheath bundles of
olfactory axons from their peripheral origins in the olfactory epithelium to their central targets …

In the mouse brain, olfactory information is transmitted to the olfactory cortex via olfactory
bulb (OB) projection neurons known as mitral and tufted cells. Although mitral and tufted …

Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) located in the dorsomedial and ventromedial regions of
the olfactory epithelium (OE) are distinguished from one another based on their molecular …
