This visual abstract summarizes MouSensors. D'Hulst et al. have increased the total number of neurons expressing specific mouse or human odorant receptors (ORs) in the nose of a mouse by genetically controlling OR gene choice. These MouSensors show lower specific odor detection thresholds and provide a platform to study OR gene expression and odor coding in vivo.
