Morpho-functional characteristics of the optic nerve of the steppe turtle Agrionemys horsfieldi]

The optic nerve of the tortoise Agrionemys horsfieldi contains about 400,000 fibers (90% unmyelinated and 10% myelinated ones). the diameter of unmyelinated fibers varies from 0.3 to 1.1 mu, mean value being equal to 0.5 mu; fibers with a diameter 0.4-0.7 comprise 77%. The diameter of myelinated fibers varies within 0.3-3.0 mu, average value being 0.5-0.8 nu; fibers with a diameter 0.5-0.9 mu amount to 62%. Electrogram of the optic nerve consists of two components which are equal in their amplitudes. These components presumably reflect summary firings of modal groups of unmyelinated and myelinated fibers. The velocity of propagation of excitation along the fibers producing the first component is equal to 1.3 m/sec, wheras that in fibers producing the second component - to 0.5 m/sec. The data obtained are compared with those related for the other tortoise - Emys orbicularis.     

Comparative study of the lamina cribrosa and the pial septa in the vertebrate optic nerve and their relationship to the myelinated axons

The optic nerve contains the connective tissues, i.e. the lamina cribrosa and pial septa. This report presents a histological comparison of the lamina cribrosa and pial septa in the five classes (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and teleosts) of vertebrates. Furthermore, the distribution of myelinated fibers was observed from the optic nerve through the retina in the same animals. The lamina cribrosa is found in mammals except for mice, and in birds. Structural complexity of the lamina was different in animals but generally dependent of the optic nerve thickness. The pial septa were present in the optic nerve proper of the mammals except for the mice, in birds and in a part of teleosts. Fasciculation of the optic nerve by the pial septa tended to be more prominent as the optic nerve become thicker. The optic nerve consisted of largely myelinated fibers in vertebrates. The retina contained some myelinated fibers in submammals but was thoroughly devoid of myelinated fibers in mammals. The borderline between myelinated and unmyelinated portions in the optic nerve of different species did not related to the lamina cribrosa. Amphibians had exceptionally only a few myelinated fibers in the optic nerve and no myelinated fibers in the retina.     

The Fine Anatomy of the Optic Nerve of Anurans—An Electron Microscope Study

In the optic nerve of Anurans numerous myelinated and unmyelinated axons appear under the electron microscope as compact bundles that are closely bounded by one or several glial cells. In these bundles the unmyelinated fibers (0.15 to 0.6 µ in diameter) are many times more numerous than the myelinated fibers, and are separated from each other, from the bounding glial cells, or from adjacent myelin sheaths, by an extracellular gap that is 90 to 250 A wide. This intercellular space is continuous with the extracellular space in the periphery of the nerve through the numerous mesaxons and cell boundaries which reach the surface. Numerous desmosomes reinforce the attachments of adjacent glial membranes. The myelinated axons do not follow any preferential course and, like the unmyelinated ones, have a sinuous path, continuously shifting their relative position and passing from one bundle to another. At the nodes of Ranvier they behave entirely like unmyelinated axons in their relations to the surrounding cells. At the internodes they lie between the unmyelinated axons without showing an obvious myelogenic connection with the surrounding glial cells. In the absence of connective tissue separating individual myelinated fibers and with each glial cell simultaneously related to many axons, this myelogenic connection is highly distorted by other passing fibers and is very difficult to demonstrate. However, the mode of ending of the myelin layers at the nodes of Ranvier and the spiral disposition of the myelin layers indicate that myelination of these fibers occurs by a process similar to that of peripheral nerves. There are no incisures of Schmidt-Lantermann in the optic myelinated fibers.     

Conduction velocities and fiber diameters in a cutaneous nerve of the pigeon

Summary The characteristics of fibers of a cutaneous nerve supplying the wing skin of the pigeon have been investigated with electrophysiological and electron microscopic techniques.Recordings of the compound action potential showed four distinct peaks with conduction velocities of about 30 m/s, 12 m/s, 4 m/s and 0.5 m/s.From electron micrographs both fiber diameters and thickness of myelin sheath were assessed and used as criteria for segregating various fiber populations. Altogether four groups could be discerned: large thickly myelinated fibers, small thickly myelinated fibers, small thinly myelinated fibers, and unmyelinated or C-fibers. The subdivision of the thickly myelinated fibers into two populations is evidenced mainly by corresponding peaks in the compound action potential. The thinly myelinated fibers with a mean diameter of 2 m contributed about 90% of all myelinated fibers in this nerve.When comparing fiber dimensions and conduction velocities of this avian nerve with those of mammalian cutaneous nerves, the lower CV's of avian nerve fibers can be explained by smaller diameters and thinner myelin sheaths.The results of this investigation are a prerequisite for latency considerations in central somatosensory pathways in birds.Abbreviations CAP compound action potential - CV conduction velocity - D fiber diameter - d axon diameter - g ratio d/D - m thickness of myelin sheath     

Morpho-functional changes in the turtle midbrain tectum after enucleation

Morpho-functional changes in the tectum mesencephali during degeneration after enucleation were studied inEmys orbicularis L. Comparison of amplitude-time characteristics of evoked potentials of the visual center with degenerative changes in axon terminals and fibers of the optic nerve in the same animals revealed a "light" type of degeneration of the terminals of unmyelinated axons and a "dark" type in terminals of myelinated axons. During "dark" degeneration (4–5 months after enucleation) the low-amplitude presynaptic component of the evoked potential, reflecting excitation of large myelinated fibers, disappeared and changes occurred in the characteristics of the first high-amplitude component, the appearance of which is connected with excitation of myelinated fibers of medium diameter. The last component disappeared 7 months after the operation, along with disappearance of the "dark" degeneration. During "light" degeneration (2.5–3.5 months) changes took place in the characteristics of the second high-amplitude component of the evoked potential, which reflects excitation of thin fibers, both myelinated and unmyelinated, whose ranges of diameters overlap. This component disappeared after 6–7 months, almost simultaneously with disappearance of the first high-amplitude component, as the result of simultaneous completion of degeneration of myelinated fibers of medium and small diameter.     

Morphometry and ultrastructure of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) vestibular nerve

Vestibular nerves of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) embedded in plastics and epoxies were examined with light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and computerized measures were obtained and analyzed statistically. An average of 12,412 perikarya and 12,005 myelinated nerve fibers was obtained. Approximately 0.7% of the perikarya appeared unmyelinated under LM. About 500 unmyelinated fibers were counted. The cross-sectional area of 1,864 perikarya was 200-650 micron 2. The cross-sectional area of 1,346 nerve fibers was 3-11 micron 2 for the axoplasm and 11-12 micron 2 for the myelin sheath of the same fiber. Myelin thickness was directly proportional to the axoplasm cross-sectional area of the nerve fibers. The cross-sectional area of central axons and peripheral dendrites differed significantly (p less than 0.001). The initial segments of peripheral dendrites were usually smaller, but longer than the initial segments of the central axons. Both initial segments increased in diameter after the first node of Ranvier. Schmidt-Lantermann incisures were more abundant in thick and heavily myelinated fibers than in thin and lightly myelinated fibers. Larger perikarya usually had larger fibers and vice versa, within the first 100-200 micron from the first node of Ranvier. No major ultrastructural differences were found between myelinated and unmyelinated perikarya, except at the hillock region. The Nissl substance was preferentially located in the peripheral cytoplasm.     

Neurogenic inflammation of gingivomucosal tissue in streptozotocin-diabetic rat

Previously it was assumed that nerve fibres are involved in the neurogenic inflammation induced by mechanical or chemical irriations. It has been also suggested that in diabetes mellitus the unmyelinated small diameter fibers are impaired as a result of diabetic neuropathy. Therefore, our aim was to study the alterations of the nerve processes in the gingivomucosal tissue in streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Light- and electronmicroscopical examinations were made to analyze the changes in nerve fibres. After one week of steptozotocin treatment, the gingivomucosal tissue had inflammatory cell infiltration and some degenerated nerve fibres were also observed. Dense mitochondria, disorganization of cell organelles, and appearance of myelin-like dense bodies were found in the axons of degenerared nerve fibres. Semiquantitative analysis showed that 14 +/- 4% of the unmyelinated nerve fibres degenerated after one week of STZ treatment. However, degeneration of the myelinated nerve fibers was not observed. Two weeks after STZ treatment, most of the unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers showed degeneration (86 +/- 5%) and the placement of the ligature revealed a non-inflammatory connective tissue adjacent to a normal epithelium. The myelin sheath was disrupted and dark axoplasm with cytolysosomes became manifest. These findings demonstrated that both unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers are altered and inflammatory reaction exists in the gingivomucosal tissue only in the early stage of diabetes mellitus.     

Ultrastructure and functional characteristics of the optic nerve of Rana temporaria L. in the norm and during degeneration

Results of electron microscopy and electrophysiological studies of the frog optic nerve are presented. The nerve contains 96% unmyelinated (about 210,000) and 4% myelinated (8700–14,800) fibers. The peripheral zone of the nerve (20–30 µm) has relatively few myelinated fibers, whereas in other zones these fibers are distributed uniformly (counting area 300–400 µm²). The curve of the distribution of the diameters of myelinated fibers has a number of peaks: a main peak at 1 µm and additional peaks at 0.6 and 1.6 µm (the latter is more prominent). Individual fibers have a diameter of 0.4–3.9 µm. The diameter of the unmyelinated fibers are 0.1–0.4 µm; 64% of these fibers have a diameter of 0.2 µm. Most fibers at a temperature of 18–20° conduct at 0.3–0.4 m/sec and a few (myelinated with a diameter of 1.0–1.6 µm) at 3 and 6 m/sec. After enucleation the myelinated fibers degenerate at first and are phagocytized by neuroglia; the ultrastructure and function of the unmyelinated fibers at 18–20° remain unchanged up to 100 days postoperation.A.

Quantitative studies on the motor root of the mouse facial nerve. An electron-microscopic study.

Fiber count analysis was performed with the electron microscope on the motor root of the facial nerve in six mice. On an average, 3,433 (84.9%) of the total nerve fibers (4,046) were myelinated and 592 (14.6%) unmyelinated. The motor root consisted mostly of large myelinated fibers (large fiber group), but a part of the root consisted of small myelinated and unmyelinated fibers (small fiber group). The nerve fibers of the small fiber group appear to correspond with those of the intermediate nerve, and to pass through the motor root and enter the intermediate nerve near the geniculate ganglion.     

Composition of the medial and posterior articular nerves of the mouse knee joint

The number and the distribution of fiber size in the medial (MAN) and posterior (PAN) articular nerves of the mouse knee joint were studied by electron microscopy. The MAN contained 75 +/- 28 nerve fibers consisting of 63 +/- 24 unmyelinated and 12 +/- 6 myelinated fibers. The PAN was composed of 195 +/- 50 nerve fibers, namely 129 +/- 28 unmyelinated and 66 +/- 24 myelinated fibers. A skewed unimodal distribution of the unmyelinated nerve fiber diameters was seen in both nerves ranging from 0.1 to 1.2 microm with a maximum between 0.3 and 0.6 microm. The myelinated nerve fibers in the MAN ranged from 1 to 8 microm with a peak between 2 and 5 microm. In the PAN, their diameters ranged from 1 to 12 microm with a clearly visible peak at 4-5 microm and a plateau at 8-9 microm that may represent a second maximum. These data show that the knee joint innervation of the mouse is comparable to those of the cat and rat concerning the types of nerve fibers and the composition of the two nerves. However, in relation to the much smaller area of tissue to be innervated the total number of primary afferents is considerable smaller in the mouse.
