| Research Abstract |
In this project, the function of microvillus olfactory receptor cells was studied on theolfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity of aquatic animals where both of microvillusolfactory cells and ciliated olfactory receptor cells exist together. The whole-cell recordingsystem was developed for the olfactory epithelium of these animals. In addition, the electroolfactogram recording system was developed for the olfactory epithelium submergedin Ringer solution. The electroolfactogram from bullfrogs and goldfish revealed the difference in the dependence of the extracellular Na ion on the recovery phase of theolfactory response in these animals.
