Key Takeaways
- Researchers mapped around 5.5 million neurons from more than 300 mice to chart olfactory receptor organization.
- The study found smell receptors arranged in tight bands rather than randomly across the nasal cavity.
- The work suggests olfaction may rely on spatial organization more like other senses than previously believed.
