It is unclear what this initial neural migration and axonal projection comprises. Some propose “Progress and Directions in Olfactory Development”(January 18–20, 2003, in Tucson, Arizona), examined they are transitory pioneer cells that provide only a substrate for later elements, as seen in other regions of the past accomplishments and plotted future strategies for studying the development of olfactory systems. The brain. Others have suggested that different classes of axons might specify various regions of the developing meeting’s six sessions are reviewed below. Each lasted two and a half hours, but formal presentation time was olfactory bulb. Resolution of the debate appears to be dependent on the development of a research strategy limited to the first 15 min. The remainder of the time was filled with lively and inclusive discussions during in which components of the migratory mass could be selectively perturbed. Related to this, one critical fact which the participants delineated the leading important issues and charted new directions. that must be established is when the olfactory sensory neurons first express odor receptors (see below) and whether the receptors are important in specifying axonal Session I: Induction and Specification of the Olfactory Periphery and the Olfactory Bulb trajectories or termination regions. Finally, it is increasingly obvious that the brain devel-“Classical” amphibian transplant studies, begun in the 1940s, indicated that the anlage of the peripheral olfac- ops more independently than once thought: recent studies have indicated that at least some aspects of bulb tory apparatus, the olfactory placode, appeared to induce the formation of the first central relay in the olfac- development can proceed without peripheral influences and that more caudal forebrain maturation can probably tory system, the olfactory bulb. Furthermore, since the bulb is one of the first regions of the forebrain to exhibit proceed without the bulb. While the “simple” notions of the past are no longer postmitotic neurons, the notion of “serial induction” arose: the periphery induces the formation of the bulb, tenable, the field lacks an overall framework that can fit the new facts into a cohesive whole.
