Abstract

Recent research in the field of spinal pattern generation has concentrated on three main areas: the effects of various transmitters on spinal rhythmic patterns in reduced preparations (neonatal rats, chick embryos, tadpole embryos, lampreys); the changes in membrane properties of different elements of the generating circuits; and the interactions between central generating mechanisms and afferent inputs. The important message is that new properties of neural membranes, as well as new reflex responses, have been identified that could not have been predicted in the absence of such rhythmic activity.

Nigral innervation of cholinergic and glutamatergic cells in the rat mesopontine tegmentum: light and electron microscopic anterograde tracing and immunohistochemical studies.

The substantia nigra (SN) has long been known as an important source of afferents to the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPN). However, it has not been established which of the chemospecific cell populations receive this synaptic input. We sought to address this issue by a correlative light and electron microscopic approach that combines anterograde tracing of nigral efferents with pre-embedding choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and/or glutamate (Glu) immunohistochemistry. Following large bilateral injections of Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) in the SN, the labeled nigrotegmental fibers were concentrated in a small area of the mesopontine tegmentum which contained very few ChAT-immunoreactive (ChAT-ir) cell bodies. However, strands of fine varicose fibers penetrated to adjacent regions of the PPN which harbored numerous cholinergic perikarya. The anterogradely labeled boutons were often seen in the proximity of ChAT-ir perikarya and dendrites, but the majority (82-93%) established symmetric synaptic junctions with noncholinergic profiles. In the pars dissipata of the PPN (PPNd), one-third of the labeled terminals synapsed onto noncholinergic perikarya and primary dendrites, while in the pars compacta of the PPN (PPNc) axosomatic synapses were rare. The possibility that the perikarya receiving a rich synaptic input from the SN are glutamatergic was tested in experiments combining anterograde transport of biotinylated tracers biocytin and dextran-amine (BDA) with glutamate immunohistochemistry. In double-labeled sections, Glu-ir perikarya within the terminal plexus of nigrotegmental fibers were surrounded by synaptic terminals. The PPNd also contained retrogradely BDA-labeled neurons which were contacted by anterogradely labeled terminals. These results indicate that although a small subpopulation of cholinergic neurons in the mesopontine tegmentum receive direct synaptic input from the SN, the primary target of nigrotegmental fibers are glutamatergic cells in the PPNd. Our results also provide ultrastructural evidence that some nigrotegmental fibers innervate pedunculonigral neurons.

Chemoafferent degeneration and carotid body hypoplasia following chronic hyperoxia in newborn rats.

1. To define the role of environmental oxygen in regulating postnatal maturation of the carotid body afferent pathway, light and electron microscopic methods were used to compare chemoafferent neurone survival and carotid body development in newborn rats reared from birth in normoxia (21 % O2) or chronic hyperoxia (60 % O2). 2. Four weeks of chronic hyperoxia resulted in a significant 41 % decrease in the number of unmyelinated axons in the carotid sinus nerve, compared with age-matched normoxic controls. In contrast, the number of myelinated axons was unaffected by hyperoxic exposure. 3. Chemoafferent neurones, located in the glossopharyngeal petrosal ganglion, already exhibited degenerative changes following 1 week of hyperoxia from birth, indicating that even a relatively short hyperoxic exposure was sufficient to derange normal chemoafferent development. In contrast, no such changes were observed in the vagal nodose ganglion, demonstrating that the effect of high oxygen levels was specific to sensory neurones in the carotid body afferent pathway. Moreover, petrosal ganglion neurones were sensitive to hyperoxic exposure only during the early postnatal period. 4. Chemoafferent degeneration in chronically hyperoxic animals was accompanied by marked hypoplasia of the carotid body. In view of previous findings from our laboratory that chemoafferent neurones require trophic support from the carotid body for survival after birth, we propose that chemoafferent degeneration following chronic hyperoxia is due specifically to the loss of target tissue in the carotid body.

Subcortical connections of normotopic and heterotopic neurons in sensory and motor cortices of the tish mutant rat.

Orthograde and retrograde tracers were used to examine subcortical connections of neurons in the neurological mutant tish rat. This animal exhibits bilateral heterotopia similar to those observed in epileptic humans with subcortical band heterotopia. Terminal varicosities were labeled in the striatum, thalamus, brainstem, and spinal cord following injections of the anterograde tracer biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) into the heterotopic cortex. The general topography of corticothalamic projections was evaluated by injecting the retrograde tracer Fluoro-Gold (FG) into ventral thalamic nuclei. Retrograde labeling of small-to-medium sized neurons was observed in layer VI of topographically restricted portions of the normotopic cortex. Similar appearing cells were labeled in the neighboring portions of the underlying heterotopia; however, these neurons did not display characteristic lamination or radial orientation. Thalamocortical terminals labeled by injecting BDA into the ventroposterolateral nucleus (VPL) were observed primarily in layer IV of the medial aspect of the normotopic somatosensory cortex. In contrast, a radial column of terminals was present in the underlying heterotopia. Typical barrel labeling was found in the lateral aspect of the normotopic somatosensory cortex after injecting the ventroposteromedial nucleus (VPM), whereas more diffuse patches of labeling were observed in the underlying heterotopia. Heterotopic neurons in the tish cortex, thus, exhibit characteristic features of subcortical connectivity. Both normotopic and heterotopic neurons in the tish brain project to appropriate subcortical sites and establish bidirectional topographic connections with the thalamus. These results suggest that primary sensory-motor information is represented in a parallel manner in the normotopic and heterotopic cortices of the tish rat.
