Blakely et al. 1987 Ffrench-Mullen et al. 1985). NAG has been observed in mitral cells using immunocytochemistry (Blakely et al. 1987). However, a recent neurophysiological study cast doubt on a transmitter role for NAG (Whittemore and Koerner, 1989) in mitral cells (see below, 2.5.4. Transmitter(s) mediating MOB to PC monosynaptic excitation). A few, unusually small, mitral cells appear to contain aspartate and project to the piriform cortex (Fuller and Price, 1988). Many mitral cells, as well as tufted cells in the EPL, have been reported to express glutamate immunoreactivity (Liu et al. 1989).
