Excitation, inhibition, and suppression by odors in isolated toad and rat olfactory receptor neurons (2000)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 ...

(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1988)The olfactory epithelium has the ability to respond to a large number of volatile compounds of small molecular weight. Ultimately, such a property lies on a specialized type of neuron, the olfactory receptor cell. In the ...

(1999)Olfactory chemotransduction involves a signaling cascade. In addition to triggering transduction, odors suppress ion conductances. By stimulating with brief odorant pulses, we observed a current associated with odor-induced ...
