Combining pre-embedding parvalbumin immunostaining and post-embedding immunogold detection of GABA in the olfactory bulb, we investigated whether the parvalbumin-containing GABAergic interneurons of the external plexiform layer exclusively innervate principal cells, or whether they also establish inhibitory synapses upon GABAergic local neurons such as granule cells. Our results demonstrate that the parvalbumin-containing cells do not contact GABAergic interneurons in the neuropil of the external plexiform layer. On the contrary, their postsynaptic elements were always non-GABAergic principal cells. Although classically it has been accepted that the interneurons of the external plexiform layer could exert a disinhibitory action upon principal cells, via inhibition of GABAergic granule cells, we conclude that they exert a feedback inhibitory action directly and exclusively upon principal cells.
