Mammalian photoreceptors are hyperpolarized by a light stimulus and are commonly thought to be nonspiking neurons. We used the whole-cell patch-clamp technique on surgically excised human retina to examine whether human photoreceptors can elicit a...
Mechanisms underlying action potential initiation in olfactory receptor cells (ORCs) during odor stimulation were investigated using conventional and dynamic patch-clamp recording techniques. Under current-clamp conditions, action potentials gener...
Effects of cGMP on voltage-gated currents in the somatic membrane of isolated newt olfactory receptor cells were investigated using the whole-cell mode of the patch-clamp technique. Under voltage clamp, membrane depolarization generated time- and ...
Odorants are known to suppress the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) current in olfactory receptor cells. It is unclear, however, whether odorants suppress the olfactory CNG current directly or whether they suppress the current by decreasing the secon...
Odorants are known to suppress non-selectively voltage-gated currents in olfactory receptor cells. We found that odorants also suppress voltage-gated currents in neurons of outside of the olfactory system. Under voltage clamp, odorants such as amy...
