nervous system
• abnormal glomerular targeting of olfactory axons occurs in these mice
• olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) expressing a given odorant receptor gene frequently innervate multiple glomeruli instead of just one
• the percentage of half-bulbs with multiple glomeruli for OSN expressing olfactory receptor 1507 is 28% compared to 10% for wild-type mice
• the average number of glomeruli innervated by OSN expressing olfactory receptor 1507 is 1.3 compared to 1.1 for wild-type mice
• the percentage of half-bulbs with multiple glomeruli for OSN expressing olfactory receptor 73 is 71% compared to 41% for wild-type mice
• the average number of glomeruli innervated by OSN expressing olfactory receptor 73 is 1.8 compared to 1.4 for wild-type mice
