✦ Synopsis

In the present review we have considered the properties of the olfactory receptor neurons and discuss the strategy these cells use to perform their signaling task. Special emphasis is laid on the mechanisms for setting the membrane potential at rest and the mechanisms that the cell can use to respond with action potentials to significant stimuli only. We demonstrate that the firing properties of the receptor neurons depend upon the initial level of the membrane potential. We present the idea that the olfactory glomerulus can function as a unit in olfactory processing. In this perspective the olfactory receptor neuron is a subunit of the olfactory glomerulus. 62

## Abstract Presynaptic inhibition of transmitter release from primary sensory afferents is a common strategy for regulating sensory input to the arthropod central nervous system. In the olfactory system, presynaptic inhibition of olfactory receptor neurons has been long suspected, but until recent

The amino acid glutamate plays a key role in brain function. One of the major roles of glutamate is to mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission via activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). More recently, however, it has become clear that glutamate also serves a regulatory function thr
