At many central excitatory synapses, AMPA receptors relay the
electrical signal, whereas activation of NMDA receptors is conditional and serves a modulatory function. We show here quite a different role
for NMDA receptors at dendrodendritic synapses between mitral and
granule cells in the rat olfactory bulb. In whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in bulb slices, stimulation of mitral cells elicited slowly
decaying, GABAA receptor-mediated reciprocal IPSCs that reflected prolonged GABA release from granule cells. Although granule
cells had a normal complement of AMPA and NMDA receptors, the IPSC was
completely blocked by the NMDA receptor antagonist D,L-AP-5, suggesting that NMDA receptor activation
is an absolute requirement for dendrodendritic inhibition. The AMPA
receptor antagonist
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-nitro-2,3-dioxobenzo[f]quinoxaline-7-sulfonamide (NBQX) had no effect on IPSCs in the absence of extracellular magnesium but modestly reduced IPSCs in 1 mM magnesium,
indicating that the primary effect of the AMPA receptor-mediated
depolarization was to facilitate the unblocking of NMDA receptors.
Granule cell voltage recordings indicated that effective spike
stimulation in granule cells depended on the slow NMDA receptor
kinetics. Granule cells also showed a pronounced delay between synaptic stimulation and action potential generation, suggesting that their intrinsic membrane properties underlie the ineffectiveness of brief
AMPA receptor-mediated EPSPs. NMDA receptors also seem to have a
central role in dendrodendritic inhibition in vivo,
because intraperitoneal dizocilpine maleate (MK-801) injection
in young adult rats resulted in disinhibition of mitral cells as
measured by the generation of c-fos mRNA. The unique
dependence of dendrodendritic inhibition on slow EPSPs generated by
NMDA receptors suggests that olfactory information processing depends
on long-lasting reciprocal and lateral inhibition.
