Olfactory discrimination largely persists in mice with defects in odorant receptor expression and axon guidance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The defining feature of the main olfactory system in mice is that each olfactory sensory neuron expresses only one of more than a thousand different odorant receptor genes. Axons expressing the same odorant receptor converge onto a s...
