Cannabinoid receptors (CB1Rs) are present in glomeruli of the main olfactory bulb. The functions of CB1Rs and their endogenous activators, endocannabinoids, for glomerular signaling are unknown. Glomeruli contain at least three types of neurons: periglomerular (PG), external tufted (ET), and short-axon (SA) cells. PG cells form inhibitory GABAergic dendrodendritic synapses with ET cells. ET cells form excitatory glutamatergic dendrodendritic synapses with PG and SA cells. In mouse brain slices, we used whole-cell patch-clamp recordings to study the role of CB1Rs in regulating PG and ET cells. Cannabinoids displayed strong, direct inhibitory effects on PG cells and weak effects on ET cells. Single pulses or a train of pulses of depolarizing current injected into an ET cell evoked suppression of IPSCs. This suggests retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, namely, depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI) in ET cells. Our results support the hypothesis that burst firing of ET cells triggers the release of endocannabinoids which in turn directly inhibit PG cells and reduce GABA release from PG cells. This, in turn, can result in a transient reduction of PG cell inhibitory input to ET cells.
