We investigated the mechanisms of long-lasting depolarizing
potentials (LLDs) generated in mitral cells with whole-cell patch recordings in the rat olfactory bulb slice. LLDs occur spontaneously and are evoked by either orthodromic stimulation of the olfactory nerve
or antidromic stimulation of mitral and tufted (M/T) cells. LLDs are
followed by a long refractory period, limiting LLD generation to ~1
Hz. LLD production does not appear to involve either intrinsic voltage-activated or metabotropic mechanisms. The initiation of LLDs
requires activation of non-NMDA but not NMDA receptors. Dual recordings
from the apical dendrites and somata of mitral cells show that LLDs are
generated in the distal portion of the apical dendrite, most likely in
the glomerulus. The rising phase of LLDs shows characteristics of
polyneuronal input, including a high variability and sensitivity to
charge screening. Paired recordings from adjacent mitral cells suggest
that LLDs occur synchronously only in cells whose apical dendrites
ramify in the same glomerulus. These findings suggest that LLDs involve
recurrent, intraglomerular dendrodendritic interactions among M/T cells.
