In terrestrial vertebrates, the primary relay neurons of the olfactory system are contained within two specialized sensory epithelia in the head–the main olfactory epithelium (OE), which lines the nasal cavity and is involved in detection of odors, and the vomeronasal sensory epithelium, which lines the vomeronasal organ (VNO; a bean-shaped structure located in the anterior–ventral region of the nasal septum) and mediates detection of nonvolatile pheromones (Figure 1 (a)). Cell bodies of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) lie within the epithelia of the OE and VNO. ORNs are bipolar primary sensory neurons: they have apical dendrites, with cilia-or microvilli-covered surfaces that extend into the nasal or VNO cavities, and they extend axons that synapse upon neurons within the central nervous system. In the case of the OE, the axons of ORNs form the first cranial nerve and synapse upon cells of the main olfactory bulb (MOB) of the forebrain. The sensory neurons of the VNO extend axons to form the vomeronasal nerve, which synapses upon the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), a prominent structure in rodents that lies immediately adjacent to the MOB.Because rodents have a highly developed sense of smell and have been used for many years as model organisms in the study of olfaction, information provided in this article concentrates primarily on studies of OE and VNO in rodents, particularly rats and mice. Studies of primary olfactory pathway development in mouse mutants have shown that the process of neurogenesis in both the OE and the VNO is regulated to a large extent by the same genes, which are expressed by cells at distinct stages in the neuronal lineages of the two epithelia (Figure 1 (b)). The OE and VNO are also similar in that, once their structures are established during the final third of gestation, the neural cell types within them are arranged in roughly comparable laminar organizations (Figure 1 (c)). Thus, in both epithelia, neural stem cells and committed neuronal progenitors are located in the basal compartment (near the basement membrane, which forms the boundary between sensory epithelium and underlying connective tissue stroma–ie, the lamina propria). Committed neuronal progenitors give rise to terminally differentiated sensory neurons (ORNs), which comprise the majority of cells within both epithelia. Another major cell type within the two sensory epithelia is the supporting, or sustentacular, cell, best characterized in the main OE. The cell bodies of supporting cells lie in a distinct layer in the apical compartment of the OE and
