Activation of glutamate receptors generally increases neuronal excitability. However, Isaacson and Murphy show in olfactory bulb granule cells that NMDA receptor-mediated calcium influx couples to large conductance (BK) calcium-activated potassium channels. The resulting inhibition is long lasting, which may be critical to the operation of the dynamic circuitry of the bulb.
谷氨酸受体的激活通常会增加神经元的兴奋性。然而,艾萨克森和墨菲在嗅球颗粒细胞中发现,NMDA受体介导的钙内流与大电导(BK)钙激活钾通道耦合。由此产生的抑制作用持续时间较长,这可能对嗅球动态回路的运作至关重要。
