Pattern of the divergence of olfactory receptor genes during tetrapod evolution.
TL;DR: The results indicate that chromosomal migrations and gene duplications occurred mainly during early mammalian evolution between the bird-mammal split and marsupial-placental split, coinciding with the reduction of opsin genes in primitive mammals.
Variations on a Theme: Antennal Lobe Architecture across Coleoptera.
TL;DR: This study analyzed 63 beetle species from 22 different families to provide an extensive comparison of principal neuroarchitecture of the paired antennal lobes (AL), the part of the brain that is typically responsible for the first processing of olfactory information collected from Olfactory sensilla on antenna and mouthparts.
Evolutionary dynamics of olfactory receptor genes in Drosophila species
Masafumi Nozawa,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the repertoire of OR genes in Drosophila has been quite stable compared with the mammalian genes, and it appears that tandem duplication and random inactivation of duplicate genes are the major factors of gene number change.
Disynaptic amplification of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 responses in the olfactory bulb.
TL;DR: It is suggested that persistent responses in mitral cells amplify the incoming sensory information and, along with asynchronous inputs, drive odor-evoked slow temporal activity in the bulb.
More than one way to smell ashore - Evolution of the olfactory pathway in terrestrial malacostracan crustaceans.
TL;DR: In this paper, the brain architecture between selected terrestrial and closely related marine representatives of the crustacean taxa Amphipoda, Isopoda, Brachyura, and Anomala with an emphasis on the elements of the olfactory pathway including receptor molecules.

A novel multigene family may encode odorant receptors: A molecular basis for odor recognition
Linda B. Buck,Richard Axel +1 more
TL;DR: This work has cloned and characterized 18 different members of an extremely large multigene family that encodes seven transmembrane domain proteins whose expression is restricted to the olfactory epithelium and is likely to encode a diverse family of odorant receptors.

Combinatorial Receptor Codes for Odors
TL;DR: Using a combination of calcium imaging and single-cell RT-PCR to identify odorant receptors (ORs) for odorants with related structures but varied odors, it is found that one OR recognizes multiple odorants and that one odorant is recognized by multiple ORs, but that different odorants are recognized by different combinations of ORs.

TL;DR: This first comprehensive analysis of the genome sequence of the Brown Norway (BN) rat strain is reported, which is the third complete mammalian genome to be deciphered, and three-way comparisons with the human and mouse genomes resolve details of mammalian evolution.
Visualizing an Olfactory Sensory Map
Peter Mombaerts,Fan Wang,Catherine Dulac,Steve K. Chao,Adriana Nemes,Monica Mendelsohn,James Edmondson,Richard Axel +7 more
TL;DR: A genetic approach is developed to visualize axons from olfactory sensory neurons expressing a given odorant receptor, as they project to the Olfactory bulb, which provides direct support for a model in which a topographic map of receptor activation encodes odor quality in the ofactory bulb.
