Intracellular responses of salamander mitral/tufted neurons to defined odor pulses are described. Responses to odor stimulation, which generally are more complex than responses to olfactory nerve or tract electrical stimulation, show periods of depolarization and hyperpolarization that are influenced by odor concentration and quality. The way these periods coincide with different types of spike patterns in individual cells supports the hypothesis that the temporal patterning of odor responses is generated by differential activation of bulbar circuits.
