SUMMARYSensory information is selectively or non-selectively inhibited and enhanced in the brain, but it remains unclear whether this occurs commonly at the peripheral stage. Here, we performed two-photon calcium imaging of mouse olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in vivo and found that odors produce not only excitatory but also inhibitory responses at their axon terminals. The inhibitory responses remained in mutant mice, in which all possible sources of presynaptic lateral inhibition were eliminated. Direct imaging of the olfactory epithelium revealed widespread inhibitory responses at OSN somata. The inhibition was in part due to inverse agonism toward the odorant receptor. We also found that responses to odor mixtures are often suppressed or enhanced in OSNs: Antagonism was dominant at higher odor concentrations, whereas synergy was more prominent at lower odor concentrations. Thus, odor responses are extensively tuned by inhibition, antagonism, and synergy, at the early peripheral stage, contributing to robust odor representations.

Autonomic regulation of the cardiac cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- current was studied in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes using various configurations of the whole cell patch-clamp technique. When currents were recorded using the conventional patch-clamp technique, it was possible to continue to activate the Cl- current on repeated exposure to isoproterenol (Iso) for up to 60 min after initiating dialysis. However, there was significant rundown of the magnitude of the Cl- current response to the maximally stimulating concentrations of Iso. In addition, the concentration of Iso that produced half-maximal activation of the Cl- current (K1/2) increased with time. Conversely, the K1/2 for acetylcholine inhibition of the Iso-activated current decreased with time. When currents were recorded using the perforated patch-clamp technique, the sensitivity to both beta-adrenergic- and muscarinic-receptor stimulation was stable. Immediately after initiation of dialysis with the conventional patch-clamp technique, the sensitivity to Iso was nearly identical to that determined using the perforated patch-clamp technique. However, the initial sensitivity to muscarinic-receptor activation was significantly greater. These results indicate that cell dialysis associated with conventional patch-clamp techniques not only results in a time-dependent rundown of current amplitude, but it also significantly alters the concentration dependence of beta-adrenergic and muscarinic-receptor regulation of ion channel function.

1. The inhibitory response of exogenously applied glycine was investigated in freshly dissociated rat nucleus tractus solitarii neurons under whole cell configuration using new perforated patch-clamp technique termed "gramicidin perforated patch technique," which maintains intact intracellular Cl- concentrations. 2. Using the gramicidin perforated patch technique, at a holding potential (VH) of -45 mV, glycine induced outward currents in a concentration-dependent manner with a EC50 of 4.0 x 10(-5) M and at a Hill coefficient of 1.5. In contrast, using the nystatin perforated patch technique, glycine induced inward currents at the same VH in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 4.9 x 10(-5) M and at a Hill coefficient of 1.2. 3. The glycine-induced outward currents were blocked by strychnine in a concentration dependent manner with an IC50 of 2.2 x 10(-8) M. The blockade was competitive. 4. The current-voltage relationship for the 10(-5) M glycine response showed a clear outward rectification. 5. Ten-fold change of extracellular Cl- with a large impermeable anion resulted in a 65 mV shift of the reversal potential of glycine-induced currents (EGly), indicating that the membrane behaves like a Cl- electrode in the presence of glycine. 6. The intracellular Cl- activity calculated from the EGly ranged from 7.3 to 18.2 mM, with a mean value of 13.3 mM. 7. The values of EGly in the individual neurons were significantly negative to the resting membrane potentials, suggesting the existence of active transport of Cl-.
