    Abstract Olfactory cells receive numerous odorants including toxic substances. To avoid complete loss of the olfactory function by toxic odorants, continuous neurogenesis of olfactory cells occurs even at adulthood. Newly generated olfactory neurons extend their axons to the olfactory bulb. Various molecules including polypeptides, proteins, polynucleotides, virus, and cells administrated intranasally have been reported to move from the olfactory epithelium to the brain tissue via the olfactory epithelium-olfactory bulb pathway. I discuss the pathway of substances intranasally administrated to the brain from the view point of characteristics of the olfactory epithelium.

    Abstract We developed a rapid and accurate method for quantifying gaseous phase odorants using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) in conjunction with GC-MS and used our system to quantify alkylpyrazine analogs in the Y-maze. Rapid extraction of volatile compounds in the vapor phase achieved accurate quantitative analysis of gaseous alkylpyrazine analogs at several locations in the Y-maze. We also used a series of three SPME fibers to quantify changes in the concentration over time. We conducted a behavioral test of mice in response to these alkylpyrazines and identified a positive relationship between the rate of increase in gaseous concentration and the avoidance rate induced. Our results demonstrate that the Y-maze is a simple but reliable apparatus for behavioral studies of olfaction. The HS-SPME fast extraction method can quantify how gaseous concentrations of alkylpyrazines change over time, and the time-dependent increase of alkylpyrazine concentration is correlated with induction of aversive behavior in mice.

    Abstract The parallel processing of chemical signals by the main olfactory system and the vomeronasal system has been known to control animal behavior. The physiological significance of peripheral parallel pathways consisting of olfactory sensory neurons and vomeronasal sensory neurons is not well understood. Here, we show complementary characteristics of the information transfer of the olfactory sensory neurons and vomeronasal sensory neurons. A difference in excitability between the sensory neurons was revealed by patch-clamp experiments. The olfactory and vomeronasal sensory neurons showed phasic and tonic firing, respectively. Intrinsic channel kinetics determining firing patterns was demonstrated by a Hodgkin-Huxley-style computation. Our estimation of the information carried by action potentials during one cycle of sinusoidal stimulation with variable durations revealed distinct characteristics of information transfer between the sensory neurons. Phasic firing of the olfactory sensory neurons was suitable to carry information about rapid changes in a shorter cycle (<200 ms). In contrast, tonic firing of the vomeronasal sensory neurons was able to convey information about smaller stimuli changing slowly with longer cycles (>500 ms). Thus, the parallel pathways of the two types of sensory neurons can convey information about a wide range of dynamic stimuli. A combination of complementary characteristics of olfactory information transfer may enhance the synergy of the interaction between the main olfactory system and the vomeronasal system.

    Abstract (Objective) The subventricular zone in mice generates a lot of neuroblasts even during adulthood. These neuroblasts migrate to the olfactory bulb and differentiate into inhibitory interneurons such as granule cells and periglomerular cells. Olfactory sensory neurons receive information from various odorants and transmit it to the olfactory bulb. Our previous study showed that soft-diet feeding impairs neurogenesis in the subventricular zone, in turn leading to the reduction of odor-induced behaviors and Fos-immunoreactivities, the latter of which are markers of neural activity, at the olfactory bulb after exposure to odors. Release of GABA from inhibitory interneurons at the olfactory bulb induces inhibitory currents at the mitral cells, which are output neurons from the olfactory bulb. (Design) In the present study, we measured spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) at the mitral cells of mice fed a soft diet in order to explore the effects of changes in texture of diets on neural function at the olfactory bulb. (Results) The soft-diet feeding extended the intervals between sIPSCs and reduced their peak amplitudes. (Conclusions) The present results suggest that soft-diet feeding in mice attenuates the neural functions of inhibitory interneurons at the olfactory bulb.

    Abstract Exposure to environmental neurotoxins is suspected to be a risk factor for sporadic progressive neurodegenerative diseases. Parkinson's disease has been associated with exposure to the pesticide rotenone, a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor. We previously reported that intranasal administration of rotenone in mice induced dopaminergic (DA) neurodegeneration in the olfactory bulb (OB) and reduced olfactory functions. In the present study, we investigated the DA neurons in the brains of mice that were administered rotenone intranasally for an extended period. We found that the olfactory function of mice was attenuated by rotenone administration. Electrophysiological analysis of the mitral cells, which are output neurons in the OB, revealed that the inhibitory input into the mitral cells was retarded. In the immunohistochemical analysis, neurite degeneration of DA neurons in the substantia nigra was observed in rotenone-administered mice, indicating that rotenone progressively initiated the degeneration of cerebral DA neurons via the nasal route.

    Abstract Our previous studies identified alkyl pyrazine analogs in wolf urine that act as novel kairomones and induce a series of fear-associated behaviors in mice. A mixture of these alkyl pyrazines also effectively suppressed the approach of deer to a feeding area, and animals that did approach the marked area exhibited fear-associated behaviors. To investigate structure-activity relationships of alkyl pyrazines, four fear-associated behaviors - freezing, locomotion activity, odor investigation, and avoidance - were measured in experiments on female C57BL/6 J mice. Of the 17 compounds tested, 2,3-diethylpyrazine, 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, and 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine induced all four fear-associated behaviors. 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine also induced three of the fear-associated behaviors, but did not decrease locomotion. Multivalent analysis of behaviors clearly demonstrated that these four compounds formed an independent cluster and were the most active. Structure-activity relationships revealed that active alkyl pyrazines inducing all four fear-associated behaviors had methyl or ethyl group(s), but not longer carbon chains, and alkyl side chains consisting of four carbon atoms in total were present in the most potent analogs. This study is the first experimental investigation of structure-activity relationships between alkyl pyrazine analogs and fear-associated behaviors in mice.

    Abstract Urine excreted from the common grey wolf (Canis lupus) contains a kairomone, inducing fear-related behaviors in various mammals. Numerous fear-inducing substances activate neurons at the main and/or accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), medial and central amygdala, and hypothalamus. Our previous study showed that the mixture of pyrazine analogues (P-mix) contained in wolf urine induced avoidance and fear-related behaviors in laboratory mice and Hokkaido deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis), a species native to Japan. Exposure to wolf urine or P-mix induced expression of Fos, a marker of neuronal excitation, in the AOB of mice. In the present study, we explored the effects of P-mix on fear-related behaviors and Fos-expression in rats. Exposure to P-mix induced avoidance and immobilization in rats, while that to a mixture of i-amyl acetate, linalool and R(+)-limonene (O-mix), which generate floral and fruity odors, induced avoidance but not immobilization. P-mix but not O-mix increased Fos-immunoreactivity of the AOB, medial and central amygdala, and hypothalamus of rats. The present results suggest that P-mix odor induces unlearned fear-related behaviors in rats.
