Kappe neurons, a novel population of olfactory sensory neurons
Perception of olfactory stimuli is mediated by distinct populations of olfactory sensory neurons, each with a characteristic set of morphological as well as functional parameters. Beyond two large populations of ciliated and microvillous neurons, a third population, crypt neurons, has been identified in teleost and cartilaginous fishes. We report here a novel, fourth olfactory sensory neuron po...
متن کاملDetection of explosives by olfactory sensory neurons.
The response of olfactory sensory neurons to TNT and RDX as well as to some volatile organic compounds present in the vapors of antipersonnel landmines has been studied both in the pig and in the rat. GC/MS analyses of different plastic components of six different kinds of landmines were performed in order to identify the components of the "perfume" of mines. Studies on rat olfactory mucosa wer...
متن کاملChloride accumulation in mammalian olfactory sensory neurons.
The generation of an excitatory receptor current in mammalian olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) involves the sequential activation of two distinct types of ion channels: cAMP-gated Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels and Ca(2+)-gated Cl(-) channels, which conduct a depolarizing Cl(-) efflux. This unusual transduction mechanism requires an outward-directed driving force for Cl(-), established by act...
متن کاملAntidromic Spikes in Olfactory Sensory Neurons
Spikes were evoked in rat olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) populations by electrical stimulation of the olfactory bulb nerve layer in pentobarbital anesthetized rats. The latencies and recording positions for these compound spikes showed that they originated in olfactory epithelium. Dual simultaneous recordings indicated conduction velocities in the C-fiber range, around 0.5 m/sec. These spikes a...
متن کاملOlfactory sensory neurons transiently express multiple olfactory receptors during development
In mammals, each olfactory sensory neuron randomly expresses one, and only one, olfactory receptor (OR)--a phenomenon called the "one-neuron-one-receptor" rule. Although extensively studied, this rule was never proven for all ~1,000 OR genes in one cell at once, and little is known about its dynamics. Here, we directly tested this rule by single-cell transcriptomic sequencing of 178 cells from ...
