Immobility responses are induced by photoactivation of single glomerular species responsive to fox odour TMT

Immobility responses are induced by photoactivation of single glomerular species responsive to fox odour TMT

The olfactory bulb is arranged in glomeruli defined by their olfactory receptor expression. The authors identify an olfactory receptor for fox odour, TMT, and show that activation of the glomerulus expressing that receptor in mice leads to immobility, but does not lead to other fear behaviours.
