After the destruction of the nucleus tractas solitarii, just caudally to the writing pen by means of a stereotaxic instrument, the system of afferent fibres to the nucleus in question was investigated by the methods of Nauta and Fink--Heimer. The fibre terminals were revealed near locus coeruleus. Investigation of the locus coeruleus by Golgi method demonstrated that it usually has neurons of reticular type and transitional ones which resemble by their form the neurons specific for sensory formations. It is possible to conclude that locus coeruleus posesses connections of visceral origin which may play a part in the afferent influence of locus coeruleus on the brain cortex. 相似文献

Bilateral lesions of the nuclei prepositus hypoglossi produced a more than twofold decrease in the mean frequency discharges in the neurons of the nucleus coeruleus. The number of neurons with burst activity and the number of polymodal neurons substantially increased. Lesion of the nucleus tractus solitarius resulted in an increase in the number of neurons with regular activity and certain decrease in the mean discharge frequency of coeruleus neurons. The results confirm the suggestion about a substantial role of the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi in relaying afferent effects to the activity of locus coeruleus neurons. 相似文献

众所周知,肉食动物和大白鼠的脚内核,相当于灵长类的内侧苍白球(Nagy et al.1978;Fox and Schmitz 1944);它们的细胞形态、传入及传出均相同。早期以及近年来的一些研究工作者,虽然在研究其他核团的投射时,联系到一些本核团的传入,但是尚缺乏对本核团传人的系统研究。本实验即是应用辣根过氧化物酶的逆行传递法来研究大白鼠脚内核的传入性联系。 相似文献

Using in situ hybridization with a pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-mRNA probe and immunocytochemistry with antisera to POMC and to various POMC-derived peptides, it is shown that melanotrope cells in the pars intermedia of the hypophysis of the South African aquatic toad Xenopus laevis contain POMC, α-melanophore-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), γ-MSH, acetylated and non-acetylated endorphins and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). With the exception of γ-MSH, these peptides are also found in the corticotrope cells in the rostral pars distalis. In the Xenopus brain, neuronal cell bodies in the ventral hypothalamic nucleus express POMC, α-MSH, γ-MSH, non-acetylated endorphins and ACTH, neurones in the anterior preoptic area reveal POMC, α-MSH, γ-MSH and non-acetylated endorphin, neurones in the suprachiasmatic nucleus contain α-MSH, non-acetylated endorphin and ACTH and neurones in the posterior tubercle show α-MSH, non-acetylated endorphin and ACTH immunoreactivities. In the locus coeruleus POMC and ACTH coexist, whereas α-MSH and non-acetylated endorphin occur together in the nucleus accumbens, the striatum and the nucleus of the paraventricular organ. Finally, α-MSH alone is present in the olfactory bulb, the medial septum, the medial and lateral parts of the amygdala, the ventromedial and posterior thalamic nuclei, the optic tectum and the anteroventral tegmental nucleus, and non-acetylated endorphin alone appears in the epiphysis. It is suggested that neurones that form POMC-derived peptides may play a direct or indirect role in the control of POMC-producing hypophyseal cells and/or in the physiological processes these endocrine cells regulate. This idea is supported by the fact that the suprachiasmatic nucleus and the locus coeruleus, both involved in melanotrope cell control, show POMC and POMC-peptide expression. A possible involvement in melanotrope and/or corticotrope control of the anterior preoptic and ventral hypothalamic nuclei, which both express POMC and various POMC-derived peptides, deserves future attention. 相似文献

The effect of electrical stimulation of hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) on intragastric pressure (IGP) was observed on 80 Wistar rats anaesthetized with urethan. The main results are as follows: (1) Electrical stimulation of ARC could cause an obvious decrease of IGP. (2) The reduction of IGP induced by electrical stimulation of ARC was not affected by intracerebroventricular injection of naloxone. (3) After lesioning of locus coeruleus or dorsal raphe, the effect of ARC stimulation was depressed. The results suggest that the locus coeruleus and dorsal raphe nucleus may be involved in the reduction of IGP induced by ARC stimulation, but without the involvement of beta-endorphinergic neurons. 相似文献

Summary The distribution of substance P-immunoreactivity (SP-IR) in the brainstem and spinal cord of normal and colchicine-pretreated cats was analysed using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique. Numerous SP-IR fibers are present in the nucleus solitarius, nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi and nucleus spinalis nervi trigemini, various parts of the formatio reticularis, substantia grisea centralis mesencephali, locus coeruleus and nucleus parabrachialis. SP-IR perikarya occur in the substantiae gelatinosa and intermedia of the spinal cord, the nucleus spinalis nervi trigemini-pars caudalis, the nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi, and the nucleus solitarius, as well as in the adjacent formatio reticularis and the medullary nuclei of the raphe. In addition, SP-IR cell bodies are located in the nuclei raphe magnus and incertus, ventral and dorsal to the nucleus tegmentalis dorsalis (Gudden), nucleus raphe dorsalis, substantia grisea centralis mensencephali, locus coeruleus, nucleus parabrachialis and colliculus superior.The results indicate that SP-IR neurons may be involved in the regulation of cardiovascular functions both at the central and peripheral level. A peripheral afferent portion seems to terminate in the nucleus solitarius and an efferent part is postulated to originate from the nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi and from the area of the nuclei retroambiguus, ambiguus and retrofacialis. 相似文献

We compared the noradrenaline (NA) level in the dorsal horn following electrical stimulation of Aδ afferent nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system between rats with bilateral lesions of the locus coeruleus (LC) and non-operated control rats by using a microdialysis technique combined with high performance liquid chromatography. Prior to Aδ afferent fiber stimulation, the NA content in the dialysate did not differ between the LC-lesioned and the control rats. During Aδ afferent fiber stimulation, in the LC-lesioned rats, the NA level did not change significantly compared to that before Aδ afferent fiber stimulation, whereas the NA level increased significantly in the control rats. There was a significant difference in the NA levels during Aδ afferent fiber stimulation between the two groups of rats. The result suggests that descending noradrenergic neurons from the LC is involved in the increase of the NA level in the spinal cord dorsal horn produced by Aδ afferent fiber stimulation. 相似文献

Summary Fluorescent histochemistry was carried out on the brain of the teleost Myoxocephalus scorpius to show the distribution of monoaminergic neurones and their projections.Posterior to the obex of the fourth ventricle, at the junction of the spinal chord and medulla, there is an unpaired dorsal nucleus of catecholaminergic cells. A second group of catecholaminergic perikarya are scattered lateral to the vagal and glossopharyngeal motor nuclei. Both groups of aminergic cells contribute to a tract which crosses the fourth ventricle at the obex and runs along the lateral wall of the medulla towards the diencephalon.At the level of the isthmus there is a lateral nucleus composed of large catecholaminergic cells with prominent fluorescent axons and its possible homology with the locus coeruleus is considered. Medially, in the same region a nucleus of serotonergic neurones lies between the paired tracts of the fasciculus longitudinalis medialis.In the diencephalon there are three paraventricular nuclei, the nuclei recessus posterioris and lateralis and the paraventricular organ pars anterior. Ventral to the lateral recess there is a further nucleus less closely associated with the ependyma.The distribution of fluorescent fibres is described and the dispositions of the aminergic nuclei compared to those of other teleosts. 相似文献

Our previous studies have suggested that dopamine and noradrenaline may be coreleased from noradrenergic nerve terminals in the cerebral cortex. To further clarify this issue, the effect of electrical stimulation of the locus coeruleus on extracellular noradrenaline, dopamine and DOPAC in the medial prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex and caudate nucleus was analysed by microdialysis in freely moving rats. Stimulation of the locus coeruleus for 20 min with evenly spaced pulses at 1 Hz failed to modify cortical catecholamines and DOPAC levels. Stimulation with bursts of pulses at 12 and 24 Hz increased, in a frequency-related manner, not only noradrenaline but also dopamine and DOPAC in the two cortices. In both cortices noradrenaline returned to baseline within 20 min of stimulation, irrespective of the stimulation frequency, whereas dopamine returned to normal within 20 and 60 min in the medial prefrontal cortex and within 60 and 80 min in the parietal cortex after 12 and 24 Hz stimulation, respectively. DOPAC remained elevated throughout the experimental period. Phasic stimulation of the locus coeruleus at 12 Hz increased noradrenaline in the caudate nucleus as in the cerebral cortices but was totally ineffective on dopamine and DOPAC. Tetrodotoxin perfusion into the medial prefrontal cortex dramatically reduced noradrenaline and dopamine levels and suppressed the effect of electrical stimulation. These results indicate that electrical stimulation-induced increase of dopamine is a nerve impulse exocytotic process and suggest that cortical dopamine and noradrenaline may be coreleased from noradrenergic terminals. 相似文献

The development of tyrosine hydroxylase- and neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive cell bodies in the foetal rat brain was analyzed immunohistochemically using antibodies raised against tyrosine hydroxylase and neuropeptide Y. Possible co-existence of these two substance within the same neurones was investigated by comparison of adjacent sections. In the ventral medulla oblongata, neurones containing both neuropeptide Y- and tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivity were demonstrable in and around the lateral reticular nucleus as early as the 17th day of gestation. The total number and the proportion of cells exhibiting this co-existence increased from this stage up to birth. In the nucleus of the solitary tract in the dorsal medulla oblongata, NPY-immunoreactive cells bodies were first visualized at day 13 of gestation. However, although tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive cells could also be seen within the nucleus at this and later ages, they occupied a different, more caudal and medial part. Consequently, no neurones containing both neuropeptide Y and tyrosine hydroxylase were apparent up to the day of birth. Finally, in the locus coeruleus, tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurones were also demonstrable at day 13 of gestation. In this case, however, no neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive somata could be seen in the nucleus until day 21. The present study indicates that the existence of neuropeptide Y and tyrosine hydroxylase in co-containing neurones is not inextricably linked, and suggests that the factors controlling the synthesis of these two substances are not identical. 相似文献

Baroreceptor afferent fibres and second order baroreceptor neurones were identified by their discharge pattern and were intracellularly injected with horseradish peroxidase. Three afferent fibres and three second order neurones were reconstructed by camera lucida drawings from serial sections of the brainstem. The afferent fibres were classified as A delta-fibres and had terminal arborizations with synaptic boutons in the dorsomedial region of the nuclei of the solitary tract (TS). The afferent fibres had additional collaterals with a medial projection to the commissural nucleus and in a direction lateral to the TS. The terminals of these collaterals could not be demonstrated. The second order neurones were located in the same dorsomedial region as the synaptic boutons of the afferent fibres. Neurones were small and spindle-shaped with two primary dendrites: one dendrite projected cranially along the medial border of the TS, and the second one projected caudally and medially into the commissural nucleus. The unmyalinated axons of these neurones could be traced over a distance of 1 mm. In only one neurone could an axon collateral be detected. The axons projected dorsally around the TS in a ventrolateral direction beyond the boundaries of the nuclei of the TS. The axon collateral projected in the medial direction into the commissural nucleus. In no case were axon terminals demonstrated. 相似文献

The properties of 2 giant electrically coupled neurones (A10 and P1) identified in the visceral and right parietal ganglia of Lymnaea stagnalis were examined. The active and passive electrical parameters of the neurones, as well as the junction between them were measured. The main peripheral and interneuronal connections of the neurones were demonstrated using both electrophysiological and morphological methods. It is shown that the coupled cells are not neurones of the same function, but they are asymmetrical ones. This finding is supported by the following results: (1) the axonal pathways of neurones A10 and P1 are different; (2) there are significant differences in their afferent and efferent connections; (3) though the electrical junction between them is bidirectional, the junctional electrical characteristics prefer P1-A10 transmission. According to the electron microscopic results both neurones are possible neurosecretory cells. The differences demonstrated between the 2 giant neurones may have significance concerning their role in a special neuronal network. 相似文献

Summary The changes in the nucleus praeopticus (NPO) pars magnocellularis of the frog Rana tigrina were studied after electrical stimulation of the left testis. After a 3-min stimulation, the neurones of the nucleus showed a statistically significant increase in the nuclear and cellular diameters. The lateral neurones in particular showed a complete loss of Nissl substance and other acute chromatolytic changes. In the aldehyde fuchsin stained preparations, however, the perikarya appeared filled with clumps of intensely stained neurosecretory material (NSM) and disintegrating cell nuclei. The NSM was discharged in the axons, resulting in an increase in number and size of the Herring bodies. These changes were abolished in frogs whose testes had been pre-anaesthetized with xylocaine. Based on these observations, the possible existence of an afferent pathway from the testis to the NPO pars magnocellularis is suggested. 相似文献

Using the electromyographic method in acute experiments on anaesthetized with urethanum rats the different influence of locus coeruleus, nucleus medialis parabrachialis and nuclei raphae on respiratory centre activity has been established. The effect of the locus coeruleus depended on parameters of stimulation and on the character of the tested structures between each other and the bilateral regions of the respiratory centre. 相似文献

The mammalian transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) group of channels is a family of Ca2+-permeable cation channels that are activated following receptor-mediated stimulation of different isoforms of phospholipase C. In vitro TRPC proteins can form hetero- or homo-oligomeric channels. We performed single-cell RT-PCR analysis to reveal the co-expression of seven TRPC channels in identified rat aminergic neurones. All serotonergic neurones of the dorsal raphe (DR), the majority of histaminergic (tuberomamillary nucleus; TMN) and dopaminergic cells of the ventral tegmental area (VTA), as well as some GABAergic neurones from the VTA, expressed at least one variant of TRPC channels. No TRPC channel expression was found in the locus coeruleus. In raphe neurones TRPC6 and TRPC5 mRNAs occurred most frequently. In VTA and TMN co-expression of TRPC4 with TRPC5 and TRPC6 with TRPC7 was not found in individual neurones (in contrast to the whole-brain regions). Their co-expression in non-neuronal cells could not be excluded. The neonatal TRPC3 subunit was rarely seen. In DR, but not in the other nuclei studied, the expression of orexin receptors correlated with the expression of TRPC channels. We conclude that several TRPC channel populations exist in individual neurones and that their subunit co-expression pattern is region and cell-type specific. 相似文献

In this light microscopic immunocyto-chemical study β-Endorphin (β-END), leu-enkephalin and dopamine-βhydroxylase (DBH) antisera are used to obtain an overview of the interaction of the noradrenergic and opiate peptide systems in brain. Serial brain areas were analyzed for DBH and then for β-END or leu-enkephalin. Several areas were evaluated for cell and fiber interactions between these systems. The areas of richest possible contact between β-END and DBH positive systems include the rostral locus coeruleus region, the periaqueductal grey, possibly the dorsal thalamus, the paraventricular hypothalamus and the arcuate nucleus. Enkephalin cells and fibers were seen surrounding the locus coeruleus throughout its length with a few fibers in the nucleus itself. 相似文献
