The Experimental Disruption of Olfactory Sensory Neurons (OSNs) as They

question 32

Multiple Choice

The experimental disruption of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) as they organize onto specific glomeruli results in

• A) impairments only if the disruption completely blocks neural activity, not if it involves sensory deprivation.
• B) recovery no matter when the disruption occurs, due to the continued plasticity of the olfactory system.
• C) no impairments because the organization of glomeruli does not depend on the OSNs.
• D) long-term impairments in organization, independently of when the disruption occurs.
• E) recovery if the disruption ends during a critical period, but no recovery if the disruption is after the critical period ends.
