The paper describes a method for reversible olfactory deprivation in mice using custom-made nose plugs and validates its effectiveness in post-weaning animals.

This study identifies Dvl2 as a novel component of the axon initial segment (AIS) and reveals its role in AIS assembly through MTCL1-dependent microtubule recruitment.

The paper identifies distinct neurotransmitter release strategies in two closely related dopaminergic neuron subclasses in the mouse olfactory bulb, showing that anaxonic neurons release from dendrites while axon-bearing neurons release from myelinated axons, with functional implications for self-inhibition.
