Cell cultures of neuroblasts from rat olfactory epithelium that show odorant responses.
We have developed procedures that permit isolation and propagation of clonal cell cultures from the olfactory epithelium of the 5- to 7-day-old rat that appear to represent the neuroblasts that repopulate the sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium throughout life. The cell lines we report here synthesize neuron-specific enolase, which is a neuron marker, 43-kDa growth-associated protein, a...
متن کاملElectroolfactogram responses from organotypic cultures of the olfactory epithelium from postnatal mice.
Organotypic cultures of the mouse olfactory epithelium connected to the olfactory bulb were obtained with the roller tube technique from postnatal mice aged between 13 and 66 days. To test the functionality of the cultures, we measured electroolfactograms (EOGs) at different days in vitro (DIV), up to 7 DIV, and we compared them with EOGs from identical acute preparations (0 DIV). Average ampli...
متن کاملResponses of the rat olfactory epithelium to retronasal air flow.
Responses of the rat olfactory epithelium were assessed with the electroolfactogram while odorants were presented to the external nares with an artificial sniff or to the internal nares by positive pressure. A series of seven odorants that varied from very polar, hydrophilic odorants to very nonpolar, hydrophobic odorants were used. Although the polar odorants activated the dorsal olfactory epi...
متن کاملPredicting olfactory receptor neuron responses from odorant structure
BACKGROUND Olfactory receptors work at the interface between the chemical world of volatile molecules and the perception of scent in the brain. Their main purpose is to translate chemical space into information that can be processed by neural circuits. Assuming that these receptors have evolved to cope with this task, the analysis of their coding strategy promises to yield valuable insight in h...
متن کاملOdorant receptor expression patterns are restored in lesion-recovered rat olfactory epithelium.
Lesions of the olfactory periphery provide a means for examining the reconstitution of a diverse and highly regulated population of sensory neurons and the growth, en masse, of nascent axons to the bulb. The olfactory epithelium and its projection onto the bulb are reconstituted after ablation by methyl bromide gas, and some measure of olfactory function is restored. The extent to which the sys...
