This disclosure provides methods for identification of olfactory sensosry neurons (OSN) that recognize specific odorants. The method comprises introducing into the OSN, a permanent activity marker which exhibits a detectable and permanent change upon activation of the neuron in response to an odorant and exposure to an exteranal stimulus, such as light. The OSN can be isolated and its receptor characterized.
