The functional organization and synaptic physiology of olfactory
bulb glomeruli were studied in rat in vitro slice
preparations stained with the voltage-sensitive dye RH-155. Optical
signals were recorded with a 100-element photodiode array at high
temporal resolution. Pharmacological and ionic manipulations were used to investigate synaptic responses to stimulation of the olfactory nerve
layer (ONL). ONL stimulation evoked a sodium-mediated compound action
potential that propagated across the ONL and invaded individual glomeruli. This presynaptic volley evoked calcium-dependent synaptic responses the amplitudes of which were largest within the glomerular layer (GL); smaller amplitude responses were recorded in deeper layers
of the olfactory bulb. Synaptic responses in the GL were attenuated by
the non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonist CNQX; the
residual component was suppressed by the NMDA glutamate receptor
antagonist AP-5. The GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline methiodide had little effect, whereas the GABAB receptor
agonist baclofen dramatically attenuated ONL-evoked synaptic responses. The effects of baclofen were reversed by the GABAB receptor
antagonist CGP35348. Paired-pulse depression of ONL-evoked synaptic
responses in the GL was partially reversed by CGP35348. These findings
suggest that olfactory nerve axons release glutamate to activate both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors on GL neurons, that GABAA
receptor-mediated inhibition has little effect on these responses, and
that GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition may act
presynaptically on olfactory nerve axons to modulate their inputs to
olfactory bulb neurons.
