Preferred Label : olfactory receptor neurons;
MeSH definition : Neurons in the OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM with proteins (RECEPTORS, ODORANT) that bind,
and thus detect, odorants. These neurons send their DENDRITES to the surface of the
epithelium with the odorant receptors residing in the apical non-motile cilia. Their
unmyelinated AXONS synapse in the OLFACTORY BULB of the BRAIN.;
