A map of pheromone receptor activation in the mammalian brain
Open accessAbstract
In mammals, the detection of pheromones is mediated by the vomeronasal system. We have employed gene targeting to visualize the pattern of projections of axons from vomeronasal sensory neurons in the accessory olfactory bulb. Neurons expressing a specific receptor project to multiple glomeruli that reside within spatially restricted domains. The formation of this sensory map in the accessory olfactory bulb and the survival of vomeronasal organ sensory neurons require the expression of pheromone receptors. In addition, we observe individual glomeruli in the accessory olfactory bulb that receive input from more than one type of sensory neuron. These observations indicate that the organization of the vomeronasal sensory afferents is dramatically different from that of the main olfactory system, and these differences have important implications for the logic of olfactory coding in the vomeronasal organ.

Axons from VNO neurons expressing a given VR project to multiple glomeruli in the accessory olfactory bulb, where they form synaptic connections with AOB mitral/tufted cells, and AOB mitral cells form synapses within multiple glomeruli.
“In turn, axons from VNO neurons expressing a given VR project to multiple glomeruli in the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) (Belluscio et al., 1999; Rodriguez et al., 1999), where they form synaptic connections with AOB mitral/tufted cells, and AOB mitral cells form synapses within multiple glomeruli (Wagner et al., 2006).”

VNO neurons expressing a given VR project to multiple and spatially distributed glomeruli in the AOB, while AOB output neurons send dendrites to multiple glomeruli.
“VNO neurons expressing a given VR project to multiple and spatially distributed glomeruli in the AOB, while AOB output neurons send dendrites to multiple glomeruli (Belluscio et al., 1999; Dulac and Torello, 2003; Wagner et al., 2006).”

The distributed non-topographic representation of each stimulus type mirrors the distributed organization in the AOB and suggests that information sorting may further be accomplished through selective projection to downstream regions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
