Odorants are known to suppress voltage-gated channels not only in olfactory receptor cells but also in neurons of outside of the olfactory system. Here we found that odorants suppress glutamate-gated channels in newt retinal neurons using the Ca2+...

We used the whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique on surgically excised human retina to examine whether human rod photoreceptors express hyperpolarization-activated cationic currents (I-h) and to analyze the effects of I-h on rod's voltage re...
Certain ganglion cells in the mammalian retina are known to express a cGMP-gated cation channel. We found that a cGMP-gated current modulates spike responses of the ganglion cells in mammalian retinal slice preparation. In such cells under current...
The olfactory system is thought to accomplish odor adaptation through the ciliary transduction machinery in olfactory receptor cells (ORCs). However, ORCs that have lost their cilia can exhibit spike frequency accommodation in which the action pot...
