We show for the first time that some rodent accessory olfactory bulb mitral cells-the direct link between vomeronasal sensory input and limbic output-are intrinsically rhythmogenic. Driven by ≥ 3 distinct interdependent ionic conductances, infraslow intrinsic oscillations show remarkable periodicity both in vitro and in vivo. As a novel default state, infraslow autorhythmicity is likely to affect limbic processing of pheromonal information.
