1. Differences in the cholinergic suppression of afferent and intrinsic fiber synaptic transmission were studied in the rat piriform cortex. Extracellular and intracellular recording techniques were applied in an in vitro transverse slice preparation. Afferent and intrinsic fiber systems were differentially stimulated with electrodes placed in layer Ia or layer Ib, respectively. Synaptic responses were monitored in the presence of cholinergic agonists and antagonists. 2. Afferent and intrinsic fiber synaptic potentials measured extracellularly showed large differences in sensitivity to micromolar concentrations of the cholinergic agonists carbachol or (+/-)-muscarine, or to acetylcholine combined with neostigmine. Intrinsic fiber synaptic responses in layer Ib were strongly reduced in the presence of cholinergic agonists, whereas afferent fiber synaptic responses in layer Ia were largely unaffected. At a concentration of 100 microM, all three agonists caused a greater than 60% decrease in the height of the intrinsic fiber synaptic potential but less than 15% reduction in the afferent fiber synaptic potential. 3. Intracellular recordings confirmed that the cholinergic agonist carbachol selectively suppresses intrinsic fiber synaptic potentials but not afferent fiber synaptic potentials recorded from the same pyramidal cell. 4. Dose-response curves to carbachol were obtained for both fiber systems using extracellular recording of evoked field potentials. Carbachol suppressed intrinsic fiber synaptic potentials with a coefficient of dissociation (KD) estimated at 2.9 microM and an inhibitory concentration for 50% response estimated at 6.6 microM. 5. Carbachol produced a proportionately greater suppression of the first pulse than the second pulse of a pulse pair. This increase in the level of facilitation accompanying suppression suggests a presynaptic mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
