nervous system

abnormal olfactory neuron innervation pattern ( J:90716 )

• axons co-converge without co-mingling, and segregate into separate compartments within the same glomeruli

• after naris occlusion before glomerular formation, axons still segregate into separate compartments within the same glomeruli, but there are supernumerary glomeruli
