Projection of primary olfactory sensory neurons to the olfactory bulb. A. The axons of olfactory bipolar cells synapse on the projection neurons of the
olfactory bulb, the mitral cells and the tufted cells, as well as the periglomerular cells, a type of inhibitory interneuron. B. In situ hybridization of olfactory
receptor mRNA in the axon terminals of primary olfactory sensory neurons in a single glomerulus in the olfactory bulb of the rat. The two bright spots on
the ventral surface of the bulb (arrows) correspond to the two labeled glomeruli. (A, Reproduced with permission from Yoshihara Y. Basic principles and
