This study further clarifies the effects of serotonin (5-HT) on an important cortical target, a heterogeneous population of inhibitory interneurons. The authors dissect out the effects of the 5HT1A and 5HT3 receptors on ion currents and membrane potentials of defined populations of inhibitory interneurons in visual cortex layer V. These effects of the receptors are correlated with their effects on kinetically distinguishable spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents in the pyramidal cell targets of the interneurons.

This study demonstrates the effects of norepinephrine on temporal properties of olfactory responses in the piriform cortex. The authors posit the role of the locus coeruleus in modulating temporal response properties in olfactory sensation, perception, and learning.

66. M. Castro-Alamancos, and E. Oldford Cortical sensory suppression during arousal is due to the activity-dependent depression of thalamocortical synapses J Physiol 541 2002 319 331. This report expands on the theme that arousal refines the representation of sensory stimuli in the cortex. The authors propose that activity-dependent depression of thalamocortical transmission is a cellular substrate of the suppression of sensory responses in barrel cortex that occurs with activation of the reticular formation or with behavioral arousal. Notably, the involvement of several neuromodulators in this phenomenon is tested and excluded.

This study describes and tests a model of the convergence of NE and 5-HT in the increased olfactory response that accompanies the formation of olfactory preferences. The authors relate odor preference to electrophysiological and biochemical changes in the olfactory bulb.

This article constitutes a remarkable series of experiments describing and testing a circuit-based hypothesis of neuromodulator function in behavior. The hypothesis uses an established circuit model of the olfactory bulb to test the role of acetylcholine in altering the discriminability of similar odorants, and links the results to behavioral experiments on odor discrimination after cholinergic lesion.
