Figures

Figure 1. The M72 odorant receptor is expressed on axons that project to a dorsal target (A) and to medial glomerulus (B). In b3GnT1 null mice, the dorsal M72 glomerulus is shifted to the rostral-medial OB (C). In wild-type mice each glomerulus contains axons expressing only one OR, but in null mice glomeruli express more than one OR (D).
Figure 2. GnRH neurons migrate from the vomeronasal organ (VNO) across the cribriform plate (CP) into the forebrain. They turn ventrally following DCC+ axons toward the median eminence (me) and arcuate nucleus (arc). Factors that regulate migration at various stages include netrin-1, stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and their respective receptors CXCR4 and DCC.
