In the vertebrate olfactory system, odor information is represented as a topographic map in the olfactory bulb (OB). However, it remains unknown how this odor map is transferred from the OB to higher olfactory centers. Using genetic labeling techniques in zebrafish, we found that the OB output neurons, mitral cells (MCs), are heterogeneous with respect to transgene expression profiles and spatial distributions. Tracing MC axons at single-cell resolution revealed that (1) individual MCs send axon ...[more]
