Cellular mechanisms of olfactory signal transduction.
The sense of smell has the exquisite capacity to recognize and discriminate among an immense variety of volatile chemical compounds that are present in the environment. In mammals, olfactory cues are detected by sensory neurons belonging to three different sensory modalities harboured in the nasal cavity. Olfactory and vomeronasal primary sensory neurons (OSNs and VSNs, respectively) detect odo...
متن کاملDifferential serotonergic modulation across the main and accessory olfactory bulbs.
KEY POINTS There are serotonergic projections to both the main (MOB) and the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). Current-clamp experiments demonstrate that serotonergic afferents are largely excitatory for mitral cells (MCs) in the MOB where 5-HT2A receptors mediate a direct excitatory action. Serotonergic afferents are predominately inhibitory for MCs in the AOB. There are two types of inhibition:...
متن کاملSubstrate-Induced Modulation of Signal Transduction Networks
The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. ABSTRACT Biological signal transduction networks are commonly viewed as circuits that pass-along information-in the process amplifying, enhancing sensitivity, or performing other signal-processing tasks-to transcriptional and other components. Here, we report on a " reverse-cau...
متن کاملLoad-induced modulation of signal transduction networks.
Biological signal transduction networks are commonly viewed as circuits that pass along information--in the process amplifying signals, enhancing sensitivity, or performing other signal-processing tasks--to transcriptional and other components. Here, we report on a "reverse-causality" phenomenon, which we call load-induced modulation. Through a combination of analytical and experimental tools, ...
متن کاملOlfactory G proteins: Simple and complex signal transduction
In both vertebrates and invertebrates, olfactory perception is mediated by G-protein-coupled receptors. Recent work, in both mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans, sheds light on the role of specific G proteins in olfactory signal transduction, neuronal morphology and axon guidance.
