The Ca2+-activated Cl conductance represents the major component of the olfactory receptor current. An isolated ORN was stimulated for 1 s with (A) 500 µM IBMX and with (B) 500 µM IBMX and 2 mM niflumic acid. Gray bars denote the command for the presentation of the IBMX stimulus. (C) The peak receptor current amplitude evoked by IBMX was reduced by ∼94% relative to the control response when niflumic acid was present during stimulus presentation (n = 15). Consequently, the cationic current through CNG channels represents only a very small fraction of the total receptor current (∼6%). Error bars represent SEM.
