abstract: The vertebrate olfactory system must cope with a staggering developmental problem: how to connect millions of olfactory neurons expressing different odorant receptors to appropriate targets in the brain. Recent studies demonstrate remarkable plasticity in integrating novel olfactory neurons into this circuitry.
