Unitary Responses in Frog Olfactory Epithelium to Sterically Related Molecules at Low Concentrations
Responses of receptor cells in the frog's olfactory epithelium were recorded using platinum-black metal-filled microelectrodes. Spontaneous activity varied over a wide range from 0.07 to 1.8 spikes/s. Mean interspike intervals ranged from 13.7 to 0.5 s. Excitatory responses to six sterically related compounds at low concentrations were investigated. Stimuli were delivered in an aqueous medium. ...

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...

MOZELL, ~AXWIXL h/lARK. Olfactory mUcod and neldrd resgor~~~s in the frog. Am, J. Physiol. 203(2): 353-358. 1962.-A comparatively recent electrophysiological technique for studying peripheral olfactory events is to record sustained negative potentials from the olfactory epithelium. This method is rapidly replacing the older technique of recording multifiber discharges from the olfactory nerve o...
متن کاملAge-related changes in microvillar cells of rat olfactory epithelium.
The nature and function of microvillar cells (MVCs) of the mammalian olfactory epithelium (OE) are little understood. Previous studies have examined MVC morphology in the developing and mature OE, but not in the aged OE. The present study investigated the effect of aging on MVCs of the OE in male Sprague-Dawley rats using histological and immunohistochemical methods. OE of aged rats contained M...
