Each odor - detecting neuron (referred to as olfactory sensory neuron from here on), chooses
a single odorant receptor gene from a fairly large number of options that are split into class I (fish - like) and class II (terrestrial - specific) odorant receptors.
For example, based on the perception of the hundreds of
odorant molecules found in coffee, the piriform cortex would be able to recognize a
single odor, that of coffee.
Using the
Single - Cell Automatic Analysis and Isolation System developed in 2013, this group isolated single OSNs responding to specific odorants in a time - lapse single - cell - array cytometric manner and identified the OR gene through single cell polymerase chain reaction
