What (who) is Olfactory - definition

TRANSDUCTION CELL WITHIN THE OLFACTORY SYSTEM
Olfactory sensory neuron; Olfactory receptor neurons; Olfactory cells; Olfactory sensory neurons; Olfactory neurone; Olfactory neurons; Olfactory neuron; Olfactory receptor cell
  • Desensitization of olfactory neuron
  • Plan of olfactory neurons.
  • Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) express odorant receptors. The axons of OSNs expressing the same odorant receptors converge onto the same glomerulus at the olfactory bulb, allowing for the organization of olfactory information.

  • Schematic of the early olfactory system including the olfactory epithelium and bulb. Each ORN expresses one OR that responds to different odorants. Odorant molecules bind to ORs on cilia. ORs activate ORNs that transduce the input signal into action potentials. In general, glomeruli receive input from ORs of one specific type and connect to the principal neurons of the OB, mitral and tufted cells (MT cells).
