| Research Abstract |
Mice can detect CO_2 at concentrations around the average atmospheric level by olfaction. Previous study reported that there is a unique subset of olfactory sensory neurons(OSNs), which act as a sensor for CO_2 in the mouse olfactory epithelium(OE). In this study, we found that at least two novel subsets of OSNs respond to CO_2.These results suggest that mice sense CO_2 with some subsets of OSNs in the OE.
