Abstract: Deciphering the mechanisms of sensory neural map formation is a central aim in neurosciences. Failure to form a correct map frequently leads to defects in sensory processing and perception. The olfactory map develops in subsequent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.09.051
Abstract: In the developing brain, heightened plasticity during the critical period enables the proper formation of neural circuits. Here, we identify the "navigator" neurons, a group of perinatally born olfactory sensory neurons, as playing an essential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2018.06.007
Abstract: Across the animal kingdom, odors are known as potent stimuli that directly steer behavior. In 2007, Hitoshi Sakano and colleagues used the power of mouse genetics to manipulate the odor map in the olfactory bulb.… read more here.
