✦ Synopsis

We have investigated the effects of the phencyclidine like-compounds ketamine and MK801 on the evoked field potentials of rat olfactory bulb. Low doses of ketamine (3-6 mg/kg) blocked the inhibition of mitral cells by granule cells evoked by stimulation of lateral olfactory tract fibres or by stimulation of olfactory nerve. This blockade was not accompanied by a decrease in granule cell excitation as revealed by field potential recording. MK801 had a similar effect on the inhibition of mitral cells evoked by stimulation of the lateral olfactory tract. As ketamine does not influence the inhibitory action of GABA (Anis et al. 1983) these results suggest that both ketamine and MK801 block inhibition by an action on intrinsic excitatory feed-back circuits in the olfactory bulb.

In the adult olfactory nerve pathway of rodents, each primary olfactory axon forms a terminal arbor in a single glomerulus in the olfactory bulb. During development, axons are believed to project directly to and terminate precisely within a glomerulus without any exuberant growth or mistargeting. To

This study extends previous investigations into the effect of adenosine on bicuculline-resistant paired-pulse inhibition between field potentials evoked 300 ms apart in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampal slice. A direct assessment of the effect of adenosine on paired-pulse inhibition is complicated
