Pulse stimulation with odors or IBMX/forskolin potentiates responses in isolated olfactory neurons.
Many odor responses are mediated by the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) pathway in which the cAMP-gated current is amplified by Ca2+-dependent Cl- current. In olfactory neurons, prolonged exposure to odors decreases the odor response and is an adaptive effect. Several studies suggest that odor adaptation is linked to elevated intracellular Ca2+. In the present study, using the perfo...
متن کاملChemosensory responses in isolated olfactory receptor neurons from Necturus maculosus
Olfactory receptor neurons were isolated without enzymes from the mudpuppy, Necturus maculosus, and tested for chemosensitivity. The cells responded to odorants with changes in firing frequency and alterations in excitability that were detected with tight-seal patch electrodes using on-cell and whole-cell recording conditions. Chemosensitive cells exhibited two primary response characteristics:...
متن کاملExcitation, inhibition, and suppression by odors in isolated toad and rat olfactory receptor neurons.
Vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) exhibit odor-induced increases in action potential firing rate due to an excitatory cAMP-dependent current. Fish and amphibian ORNs also give inhibitory odor responses, manifested as decreases in firing rate, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In the toad, an odor-induced Ca(2+)-activated K(+) current is responsible for the hyperpolar...
متن کاملResponses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملIntramodal Olfactory Priming of Positive and Negative Odors in Humans Using Respiration-Triggered Olfactory Stimulation (RETROS).
Priming describes the principle of modified stimulus perception that occurs due to a previously presented stimulus. Although we have begun to understand the mechanisms of crossmodal priming, the concept of intramodal olfactory priming remains relatively unexplored. Therefore, we applied positive and negative odors using respiration-triggered olfactory stimulation (RETROS), enabling us to record...
