Figure 1. Suction pipette recordings from an olfactory receptor cell with a ‘transient’ response to prolonged odour stimulation.

Figure 1

An isolated frog olfactory receptor cell was stimulated for 30 s by rapidly changing the solution superfusing the cilia to one containing the odour cineole at concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 μm as indicated beside each trace. The bandwidth of the suction pipette current was DC to 500 Hz. Upper trace indicates the timing of the solution change. Note ‘transient’ spike firing at the onset of stimulation, and the absence of spike firing thereafter.
