“…Expression analysis revealed an enrichment of S100a5 , Ptprn , Pcp4l1 , and Nrp1 amongst OSNs expressing Olfr910 , Olfr912 , and Olfr1295 . Importantly, enrichment of these genes had been shown to occur in the literature as a function of neural activity ( Figure 8B–C ; Imai et al, 2006 ; Nakashima et al, 2013 ; Wang et al, 2017 ). Since the singly sequenced mature OSNs from Brann et al, 2020 were collected from mature male mice, who self-expose to MTMT and SBT, these results are consistent with the idea that odor experience significantly influences gene expression in OSNs, via an activity-dependent process relying on ligand-receptor interactions, to drive dimorphic representations of Olfr910 , Olfr912 , and Olfr1295 .…”
