Comments P.97 2nd paragraph: "The olfactory epithelium (OE) is another region of the PNS (peripheral nervous system) where Ascl1 functions as a proneural gene. Similar to the distal cranial ganglia, the OE arises from ectodermal placodes, which begin to thicken and invaginate to form the olfactory pits between E9.5 and E10.5 (primary source)."
