• Olfaction: diverse species, conserved principles. (2005, neutral): “…by the mouse repertoire) do contain functional human members, it has been suggested that humans may be capable of detecting almost as many odorants as mice despite having a third as many receptors, but may lack the subtle variants needed to discriminate similar odors (Zhang and Firestein, 2002).”
• The Olfactory System (2014, background): “Based on the OR species (Zhang and Firestein 2002), glomeruli are grouped into specific compartments, such as domains at stereotypical positions in the olfactory bulb.”
• The evolution of animal chemosensory receptor gene repertoires: roles of chance and necessity (2008, background): “Recent publications of the whole genome sequences of various organisms have made it possible to identify all of the CR gene”
• Representations of odor in the piriform cortex. (2009, neutral): “Individual sensory neurons in mice express only one of 1500 different receptor genes (Buck and Axel, 1991; Zhang and Firestein, 2002; Godfrey et al., 2004).”
• 3.15 – Molecular Basis of Pheromone Detection in Insects (2005, background): “Humans and mice have roughly similar numbers of OR genes, but in humans, nearly 70% are pseudogenes compared to perhaps 15% in mice (Zhang and Firestein, 2002; Young et al., 2002).”
• Evolution by gene duplication: an update (2003, background): “trypsin family [12], with 111 members, whereas the biggest family in mammals is the olfactory receptor family, with ,1000 members [14, 15 ].”
• The Loci of Evolution: How Predictable is Genetic Evolution? (2008, background): “In mammals, the olfactory receptor family has expanded to include about 1000 genes (Mombaerts 2001; Zhang and Firestein 2002).”
• Driving opposing behaviors with ensembles of piriform neurons. (2011, background): “Individual sensory neurons in mice express only one of 1500 different receptor genes (Buck and Axel, 1991; Godfrey et al., 2004; Zhang and Firestein, 2002).”
