The mammalian olfactory bulb receives multiple modulatory inputs, including a cholinergic input from the basal forebrain. Understanding the functional roles played by the cholinergic input requires an understanding of the cellular mechanisms it modulates. In an in vitro olfactory bulb slice preparation we demonstrate cholinergic muscarinic modulation of glutamate release onto granule cells that results in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release onto mitral/tufted cells. We demonstrate that the broad-spectrum cholinergic agonist carbachol triggers glutamate release from mitral/tufted cells that activates both AMPA and NMDA receptors on granule cells. Activation of the granule cell glutamate receptors leads to calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels, resulting in spike-independent, asynchronous GABA release at reciprocal dendrodendritic synapses that granule cells form with mitral/tufted cells. This cholinergic modulation of glutamate release persists through much of postnatal bulbar development, suggesting a functional role for cholinergic inputs from the basal forebrain in bulbar processing of olfactory inputs and possibly in postnatal development of the olfactory bulb.

AbstractSensory perception is modulated in a top-down fashion by higher brain regions to regulate the strength of its own input resulting in the adaptation of behavioral responses. In olfactory perception, the horizontal diagonal band of broca (HDB), embedded in the basal forebrain modulates olfactory information processing by recruiting olfactory bulb (OB) interneuron activity to shape excitatory OB output. Currently, little is known about how specific HDB to OB top down signaling affects complex olfactory-mediated behaviors. Here we show that the olfactory bulb is strongly and differentially innervated by HDB projections. HDB-silencing via tetanus toxin lead to reduced odor-evoked Ca2+-responses in glomeruli of the main OB, underscoring the HDB’s role in odor response modulation. Furthermore, selective, light-mediated silencing of only HDB to OB afferents completely prevented olfactory-mediated habituation and discrimination behaviors. Notably, also social habituation and discrimination behaviors were affected. Here we provide evidence for a novel tri-synaptic paraventricular nucleus (PVN)-HDB-OB axis responsible for modulating these types of behavior. Thus, HDB to OB projections constitute a central top-down pathway for olfactory-mediated habituation and discrimination.

AbstractBasal forebrain modulation of central circuits is associated with active sensation, attention and learning. While cholinergic modulations have been studied extensively the effect of non-cholinergic basal forebrain subpopulations on sensory processing remains largely unclear. Here, we directly compare optogenetic manipulation effects of two major basal forebrain subpopulations on principal neuron activity in an early sensory processing area, i.e. mitral/tufted cells (MTCs) in the olfactory bulb. In contrast to cholinergic projections, which consistently increased MTC firing, activation of GABAergic fibers from basal forebrain to the olfactory bulb lead to differential modulation effects: while spontaneous MTC activity is mainly inhibited, odor evoked firing is predominantly enhanced. Moreover, sniff triggered averages revealed an enhancement of maximal sniff evoked firing amplitude and an inhibition of firing rates outside the maximal sniff phase. These findings demonstrate that GABAergic neuromodulation affects MTC firing in a bimodal, sensory-input dependent way, suggesting that GABAergic basal forebrain modulation could be an important factor in attention mediated filtering of sensory information to the brain.
