Journal Article
Activation of raphe nuclei triggers rapid and distinct effects on parallel olfactory bulb output channels
2016
Overview
The serotonergic raphe nuclei modulate neuronal function typically over minutes or hours. The authors report that raphe nuclei affect odor responses in output neurons of the olfactory bulb at sub-second time scales. These effects are mediated through multiple neurotransmitters and are distinct depending on the type of output neuron.
The serotonergic raphe nuclei are involved in regulating brain states over timescales of minutes and hours. We examined more rapid effects of raphe activation on two classes of principal neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb, mitral and tufted cells, which send olfactory information to distinct targets. Brief stimulation of the raphe nuclei led to excitation of tufted cells at rest and potentiation of their odor responses. While mitral cells at rest were also excited by raphe activation, their odor responses were bidirectionally modulated, leading to improved pattern separation of odors.
In vitro
whole-cell recordings revealed that specific optogenetic activation of raphe axons affected bulbar neurons through dual release of serotonin and glutamate. Therefore, the raphe nuclei, in addition to their role in neuromodulation of brain states, are also involved in fast, sub-second top-down modulation similar to cortical feedback. This modulation can selectively and differentially sensitize or decorrelate distinct output channels.
