[Kappe neuron]
These cells are found in zebrafish (Ahuja et al, 2014). They are one type of specialized olfactory sensory neurons (apart from two large populations of ciliated and microvillous neurons, and a third population termed crypt neurons (Hamdani and Doving, 2007). Kappe neurons are identified by their G-alpha(o) immunoreactivity, and show a distinct spatial distribution within the olfactory epithelium, similar to, but significantly different from that of crypt neurons. Kappe neurons project to a single identified target glomerulus within the olfactory bulb, mdg5 of the mediodorsal cluster. Kappe neurons are negative for established markers of ciliated, microvillous and crypt neurons, but appear to have microvilli.
