Synaptic transmission and modulation in the olfactory bulb

P Q Trombley et al. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

Recent work in molecular biology and synaptic physiology has significantly increased our understanding of inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms in the olfactory bulb. Multiple subtypes of amino acid receptors with different functional and neuromodulatory properties are likely to play key roles in processing odor information transduced and relayed to the olfactory bulb by the olfactory sensory neurons, and in modulating that information during olfactory learning.
