Stereological estimation of olfactory receptor neurons in rats.
The total number of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in the rat main olfactory epithelium (MOE) was estimated using stereological sampling. Skulls and noses of newborn (postnatal day 0), young adult (8 weeks), and adult (6 months) rats were decalcified, embedded in paraffin, cut into 10-μm thick sections serially at 100-μm intervals, and processed for immunohistochemistry for olfactory marker ...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis of olfactory receptor neurons in rats.
CONCLUSION Daily intranasal perfusion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 14 days in rats induced apoptosis of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) over >3 but <7 days. OBJECTIVES Smoking is one of the factors causing olfactory dysfunction. LPS is a major glycolipid component of the gram-negative bacterial cell wall and an active component of cigarette smoke. We studied whether LPS is one of the cau...
متن کاملStereological Study on the Neurons of Superior Cervical Sympathetic Ganglion in Diabetic Rats
Background: Most research on autonomic dysfunction of diabetes mellitus is conducted on ganglions innervating gastrointestinal (GI) tract and there are limited works focusing on cervical sympathetic ganglia. The effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the neurons of superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (SCSG) are investigated by stereological methods. Material and Methods: Female rats (n=72) ran...
متن کاملInhibition among olfactory receptor neurons
Often assumed to be epiphenomena of a cell's activity, extracellular currents and resulting potential changes are increasingly recognized to influence the function of other cells in the vicinity. Experimental evidence shows that even small electric fields can modulate spike timing in neurons. Moreover, when neurons are brought close together experimentally or in pathological conditions, activit...
متن کاملIntrinsically bursting olfactory receptor neurons.
Rhythmically bursting neurons are fundamental to neuronal network function but typically are not considered in the context of primary sensory signaling. We now report intrinsically bursting lobster primary olfactory receptor neurons that respond to odors with a phase-dependent burst of action potentials. Rhythmic odor input as might be generated by sniffing entrains the intrinsic bursting rhyth...
