Olfactory receptor neurons electrophysiological studies

Ache and coworkers demonstrated that both cyclic nucleotides and inositol phosphates mediate the transduction of environmental chemical signals by the olfactory neurons of P. argus.62 65 Both biochemical and molecular biological techniques have shown that the receptor cells contain various G-protein subunits that would be necessary for signal detection by G-protein-associated chemoreceptors.48 49 66-69 In combination with electrophysiological studies,...
