A comprehensive structural, lectin and immunohistochemical characterization of the zebrafish olfactory system

Abstract Fish chemosensory olfactory receptors allow them to detect a wide range of water-soluble chemicals, that mediate fundamental behaviours. Zebrafish possess a well-developed sense of smell which governs reproduction, appetite, and fear responses. The spatial organization of functional propert...
