Key Takeaway Key Takeaway: The olfactory system in vertebrates is a complex, multicellular structure that plays a crucial role in detecting sensory information and transmitting it to the brain.
Abstract
The development of the vertebrate nose depends upon the interaction and intermingling of multiple progenitor subtypes, giving rise to olfactory epithelia that detect sensory information and transmit it to the brain.1,2 The olfactory epithelium is a dense and complex structure that houses numerous specialized cell types, including olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and, additionally, is thought to be the origin of migratory gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons.2–4
