An unlikely role for cyclic AMP in the mediation of the excitatory and inhibitory effects of noradrenaline on transmission in the olfactory cortex.
Simultaneous measurements have been made of the actions of noradrenaline and other agonists, alone and in the presence of appropriate antagonists, on synaptic transmission and cyclic AMP levels in the rat olfactory cortex. The possible role of cyclic AMP as an obligatory mediator of the excitatory and inhibitory actions of noradrenaline is discussed.
