## Abstract Primary olfactory axons expressing the same odorant receptor gene sort out and converge to fixed sites in the olfactory bulb. We examined the guidance of axons expressing the P2 odorant receptor when they were challenged with different cellular environments in vivo. In the mutant extrat

In the adult olfactory nerve pathway of rodents, each primary olfactory axon forms a terminal arbor in a single glomerulus in the olfactory bulb. During development, axons are believed to project directly to and terminate precisely within a glomerulus without any exuberant growth or mistargeting. To
## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) accompany receptor axons in the olfactory nerve and promote axonal growth into the central nervous system. The mechanisms underlying the communication between axons and OECs, however, have not been studied in detail yet. We investigated the effect of a
In vitro studies on El5 rat embryos have shown that the number of receptor neurons containing olfactory marker protein (OMP) is markedly increased when olfactory mucosa (OM) is cultured in direct contact with the presumptive olfactory bulb (POB). This facilitatory influence is tissue-specific; that
