The olfactory system is one of the few areas in the adult mammalian brain that exhibit continuing life-long neurogenesis. The adult-generated neurons of the olfactory bulb (OB) are born in the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) and migrate into the rostral migratory stream (RMS) to the OB where they differentiate into specific subtypes of OB interneurons, granule neurons and subtypes of periglomerular neurons (PGNs). However, the specific role of these neuronal subtypes and their life-long new addition to the network of the OB is not known. To clarify the role of the continuous integration of these specific newly generated neuronal subtypes for the adult olfactory system we will examine the dopaminergic subset of periglomerular interneurons PGNs, and the adult-generated glutamatergic neurons, another subset of PGNs. We shall examine on the one hand the activation of these neurons by c-fos upon specific olfactory stimuli and on the other hand the consequences of manipulating the numbers of these specific interneurons at the behavioural level. Using different mouse mutants and inducible genetic approaches we will reduce or completely abolish dopaminergic PGNs or selectively silence adult-generated glutamatergic OB interneurons. These approaches will improve our understanding of the general function of these interneurons for olfactory behaviour as well as the specific contribution of their integration in the adult animal.

嗅觉系统是成年哺乳动物大脑中少数几个表现出持续终身神经发生的区域之一。嗅球（OB）的成人产生的神经元出生于成人脑室下区（SVZ），并迁移到嗅球的吻侧迁移流（RMS），在那里它们分化为特定亚型的OB中间神经元、颗粒神经元和肾小球周围神经元（PGNs）亚型。然而，这些神经元亚型的具体作用及其终身新加入的OB网络尚不清楚。为了阐明这些特定的新产生的神经元亚型的成人嗅觉系统的持续整合的作用，我们将研究多巴胺能子集的肾小球周围的中间神经元PGN，和成人产生的多巴胺能神经元，另一个子集的PGN。我们将研究一方面激活这些神经元的c-fos特定的嗅觉刺激，另一方面操纵这些特定的interneurons的数量在行为水平上的后果。使用不同的小鼠突变体和可诱导的遗传方法，我们将减少或完全消除多巴胺能PGN或选择性沉默成人产生的多巴胺能OB中间神经元。这些方法将提高我们对这些中间神经元嗅觉行为的一般功能以及它们在成年动物中整合的具体贡献的理解。
