Schematic diagram for sensory-dependent replacement of newly generated OSNs after injury. A, Time course for the repair process after injury. Newly generated OSNs are promptly produced after injury and mature during the 7–14 d after injury. Mature OSNs gradually increase and the tissue repair is completed during the 28 d after injury. B, Time course of the repair process after injury and sensory deprivation. During sensory deprivation, newly generated OSNs are highly susceptible to apoptosis while mature OSNs are emerging 7–14 d after injury. As a result of enhanced apoptosis in the immature neurons, OE repair by new neurons is incomplete 28 d after injury.
