• Odorants bind to Olfactory Receptors (ORs) in the dendritic tip of Olfactory Receptor Neurons
• In mouse, there are ~1000 OR genes (~ 3% of genes!)
• Each OR neuron expresses only one type of OR: Exclusion
• ORs activate G protein, adenylate cyclase & cAMP-gated channels: Sensory stimuli are sent as action potentials to the brain
• Olfaction is a combinatorial recognition process: each OR is activated by a number of odorants; each odorant activates a number of ORs (ORNs). A vast number of odorants can be distinguished

• Human Brain: ~1012 neurons, ~1015 synapses
• Human genome: ~3x109 bp, ~3-5 x 104 genes
• There are far few genes (proteins) than needed to make
“cytochemical tags” that specify every connection precisely!
• Make many proteins from a single gene
• Use combinatorial code to specify connections
• Use different amount of the same protein to specify different connections: gradients
• Leave some wiring unspecified — allow experience to determine the final connections

• There are ~50 olfactory receptor genes in Drosophila
(DOR); each DOR is expressed in a stereotypical subset of
olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs, ~ 1300 total) in the third
antennal segment, or in the maxillary palp
• Each ORN expresses only one DOR; the exception to this
rule is one distant member of DOR: OR83b, which is
expressed in 80% of all ORNs. OR83b may serve as a co
-receptor
• ORNs expressing the same receptor converge their axons
onto the same glomerulus (~ 40-50)
• Hence, the “1 receptor, 1-2 glomerulus” rule derived from the mouse study also applies in Drosophila, at least to the
first degree of approximation

—Cori Bargmann and colleagues
• Of the 959 cells in C. elegans, 302 are neurons; 3 pairs (AWAs, AWBs, AWCs) are responsible for sensing volatile stimuli (olfaction)
• AWAs and AWCs mediate odor-induced attraction; AWBs mediate odor-induced repulsion (laser ablation experiments)
• ~500 G-protein coupled receptors are expressed in sensory neurons, ~100 of which are likely expressed in olfactory neurons; thus individual neurons express multiple olfactory receptors
• Odr-10 is a receptor for diacetyl, is expressed in AWA neurons, and mediates diacetyl induced attraction
• Misexpress Odr-10 in AWB neurons in Odr-10 mutants resulted in diacetyl induced repulsion!
Thus, a simple logic likely applies to C. elegans olfaction: all “attractive” receptors are expressed in AWAs and AWCs; all “repulsive” receptors are expressed in AWBs. Activation of a particular class of sensory neurons determines the behavioral consequence.
