The principal neuron of the vertebrate olfactory bulb. It has a primary dendrite that receives the sensory input from the olfactory nerve terminals in its distal dendritic tuft in the olfactory glomerulus. It processes this input at two levels: through interactions of its dendritic tuft dendrites with periglomerular cell interneurons at the glomerular level, and by means of interactions between its lateral dendrites and inhibitory granule cell interneurons at the cell body level. Through its axon it sends the output of the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex. It uses glutamate as its excitatory transmitter at both its dendritic and axonal synapses. It is modulated by central centrifugal brainstem and basal forebrain systems, acting mainly on the interneurons. Tufted cells are smaller versions of mitral cells, with distinct subtypes depending on location, dendritic properties and axonal targets. Mitral/tufted cells are equivalent to the principal neurons in the insect antennal lobe

1 Yes Distal apical dendrite GabaB
2 Yes Proximal basal dendrite GabaB
3 Yes Middle basal dendrite NMDA Paired recordings in slices showed excitatory transmission mediated solely by transmitter spillover between mitral cells. Dendritic glutamate release causes self-excitation via local activation of NMDA receptors, and generates NMDA receptor-mediated responses in neighbouring cells. It is suggested that this simultaneous activation of neighbouring cells by a diffuse action of glutamate provides a mechanism for synchronizing olfactory principal cells
