Adrenal and nonadrenal sympathetic preganglionic neurones (SPNs) in the intermediolateral nucleus of spinal segments T8-T10 in the cat were compared according to their responses to iontophoretic application of serotonin, substance P, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). Responses of both types of SPN to iontophoretic application of serotonin were characterized by an increase in the rate of discharge that was slow in onset (mean +/- SD = 36 +/- 21 s) and prolonged in afterdischarge (115 +/- 70 s) following termination of application. Depression was never observed and responses were similar whether using serotonin at a pH of 3.3 or 4.5, suggesting that the absence of a depressant effect cannot be accounted for by pH, as has been reported with cortical neurones. Iontophoretic application of methysergide resulted in a decrease in the rate of discharge of both types of SPN and blocked the excitatory responses to serotonin. Adrenal and nonadrenal SPNs were excited by iontophoretic application of substance P. Responses of both types of SPN were similar and were characterized by a gradual increase in the rate of discharge that was slow in onset (42 +/- 27 s) and prolonged in afterdischarge (96 +/- 42 s). Finally, adrenal and nonadrenal SPNs were also weakly excited by iontophoretic application of TRH. These responses were slow in onset (48 +/- 27 s) and prolonged in afterdischarge (78 +/- 35 s). These data indicate that serotonin, substance P, and TRH exert excitatory effects on functionally dissimilar sympathetic preganglionic neurones and support the possibility that they may be chemical mediators of synaptic transmission in the intermediolateral nucleus. In addition, these data may be interpreted to support the notion that serotonin, substance P, and TRH are involved in global activation of the sympathetic nervous system.  相似文献

The combination of propofol and a rapid-acting opioid, such as fentanyl, sufentanil or remifentanil, is a relatively safe, total intravenous anaesthesia technique, commonly used in humans and which has been investigated in laboratory animals. The objective of this study was to evaluate these combinations for anaesthesia of mice by the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route. Sixty-seven mice, divided into groups of four, were used to test 28 combinations of propofol alone and propofol with fentanyl, sufentanil or remifentanil administered i.p. The dose ranges of drugs studied were propofol 50-200 mg/kg, fentanyl 0.2-0.4 mg/kg, sufentanil 0.05-0.1 mg/kg and remifentanil 0.2-1.0 mg/kg. The loss of righting reflex (RR) and the loss of pedal withdrawal reflex (PWR) were recorded along with the duration and quality of recovery. The results obtained in these studies were unpredictable. The same dose combinations of propofol and opioids were associated with different responses in different individuals. Higher doses did not induce loss of RR and PWR in all animals and were associated with high mortality rates. An adequate hypnotic level was only observed with higher doses of propofol. The synergistic effect of propofol and the opioids was not sufficient to allow surgical procedures. Animals that reached PWR loss showed tail rigidity, shaking limbs and scratched their heads with their forefeet. Higher opioid doses induced respiratory depression and higher death rates. The inconsistency between and within groups may be associated with the i.p. route. The results reported here show that the i.p. route is not appropriate for mouse anaesthesia using propofol alone or in combination with fentanyl, sufentanil or remifentanil.  相似文献

The sub-oesophageal ganglion of Locusta migratoria was searched for neurones responsive to stimulation of the maxillary palps using intracellular recording techniques. Two plant stimuli were used: wheat, a host plant and cabbage, an unacceptable non-host plant. The stimuli were presented to the palp as both intact leaf tissue and as droplets of aqueous solutions of plant extracts. All the sampled neurones that responded to stimulation of the palp also responded to simple mechanical stimulation. However, 25% of the neurones exhibited consistent differences in response to the two plants when presented as both leaf tissue and droplets, strongly suggesting that they also received a chemosensory input. These differential responses most commonly took the form of differences in the duration of cell activity and/or variation in the latency of the onset of response. The receptive fields of differentially responding neurones were confined to the maxillary palp, or at most to the maxillary and labial palps.  相似文献

The effects of the molluscan neuropeptide FMRF-amide were tested on several neurones in the suboesophageal ganglia of the snail Helix aspersa. Almost all neurones tested responded to the peptide, some being hyperpolarized (H response) and others depolarized (D response). The H response is due primarily to an inward potassium current and may be blocked in 20 microM 4-aminopyridine. The hyperpolarizing actions of FMRF-amide and dopamine may be separated by ergometrine which blocks the response to dopamine but not to FMRF-amide. The D response is due mainly to an inward sodium current but this is not blocked by d-tubocurarine, morphine or TTX. It appears to be mediated by a distinct receptor/ionophore as excitation by ACh and 5-HT are both antagonized by d-tubocurarine. The Leu2-substituted analogue FLRF-amide was found to produce similar H responses to FMRF-amide, but was much less potent at producing D responses. It did, however, produce cross-desensitization of the D response to FMRF-amide, suggesting that it does bind to the FMRF-amide receptor.  相似文献

Pteronotus parnellii uses the second harmonic (61-62 kHz) of the CF component in its orientation sounds for Doppler-shift compensation. The bat's inner ear is mechanically specialized for fine analysis of sounds at about 61-62 kHz. Because of this specialization, cochlear microphonics (CM) evoked by 61-62 kHz tone bursts exhibit prominent transients, slow increase and decrease in amplitude at the onset and cessation of these stimuli. CM-responses to 60-61 kHz tone bursts show a prominent input-output non-linearity and transients. Accordingly, a summated response of primary auditory neurones (N1) appears not only at the onset of the stimuli, but also at the cessation. N1-off is sharply tuned at 60-61 kHz, while N1-on is tuned at 63-64 kHz, which is 2 kHz higher than the best frequency of the auditory system because of the envelope-distortion originating from sharp mechanical tuning. Single peripheral neurones sensitive to 61-62 kHz sounds have an unusually sharp tuning curve and show phase-locked responses to beats of up to 3 kHz. Information about the frequencies of Doppler-shifted echoes is thus coded by a set of sharply tuned neurones and also discharges phase-locked to beats. Neurones with a best frequency between 55 and 64 kHz show not only tonic on-responses but also off-responses which are apparently related to the mechanical off-transient occuring in the inner ear and not to a rebound from neural inhibition.  相似文献

The action of Xestospongin C (XeC) on calcium concentration in the cytosol ([Ca2+]i) and within the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ([Ca2+]L) was studied using cultured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurones. Application of 2.5 microM of XeC triggered a slow [Ca2+]i transient as measured by Fura-2 video-imaging. The kinetics and amplitude of XeC-induced [Ca2+]i response was similar to that triggered by 1 microM thapsigargin (TG). The [Ca2+]L was monitored in cells loaded with low-affinity Ca2+ indicator Mag-Fura-2. The cytosolic portion of Mag-Fura-2 was removed by permeabilisation of the plasmalemma with saponin. Application of XeC to these permeabilised neurones resulted in a slow depletion of the ER Ca2+ store. XeC, however, failed to inhibit inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced [Ca2+]L responses. We conclude that XeC is a potent inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase, and it cannot be regarded as a specific inhibitor of InsP3 receptors in cultured DRG neurones.  相似文献

Embryonic mouse spinal cord neurones were maintained in a primary dissociated culture with a medium free from antibiotics. Intracellular recordings were made and the effects of local application of the neuropeptide FMRFamide were tested on selected neurones. Two types of response were seen. One response was depolarizing, with an accompanying decrease in conductance. This response was probably caused by a reduction in permeability to potassium ions. The second type of response was accompanied by an increase in conductance. Such responses showed a wide variation in their reversal potentials between different neurones. A combination of permeability changes to sodium and chloride ions appeared to be responsible for these responses.  相似文献

Antidromic responses of neighbouring neurones in micro-areas of the sensorimotor cortex to the stimulation of fibers of the pyramidal tract as well as of the red nucleus and thalamic nuclei VPL and MGB, were studied in acute experiments on unanesthetized immobilized cats. Depending on the velocity of conduction along the axon, the neurones of all the categories were divided into fast and slow cells. When examining the two neuronal groups most differing in AP amplitude (N1 and N3), it was found that N1 neurones were mainly fast-conducting and N3 neurones-- slow-conducting. The conclusion is made that at multineuronal recording, each of the examined categories of the output neurones is characterized by positive correlation between AP amplitude and the axon conduction velocity and consequently, the size of the cell.  相似文献

Activity was recorded intracellularly from the bodies of 87 reticulospinal neurones in the cat's gigantocellular nucleus, whose axons had a conduction velocity of 18-148 m.s-1. Slow-conducting neurones (18-45 m.s-1, 23%) were characterized by a wider action potential, higher input resistance (3.8-7.0 M omega) and a lower rheobase (1.0-1.7 nA). They were also very sensitive to changes in membrane polarity and generated regular rhythmic activity. Fast-conducting neurons (45-148 m.s-1) were characterized by a short action potential, low input resistance (0.7-2.9 M omega) and a higher rheobase (1.5-5.2 nA). When depolarizing current pulses were applied, they generated responses with action potentials with a high frequency, especially in the initial phase of depolarization, but their thresholds for the initiation of activity and steady firing were higher than in the case of slow neurones. Slow reticulospinal neurones always responded to stimulation of the spinal funiculi (mainly the dorsal funiculus) by a characteristic large postsynaptic potential on which large numbers of spike potentials were superimposed and which did not occur in fast neurones. The differences observed in membrane properties and in the character of generation of action potentials draw attention to the phasic character of fast, and the tonic character of slow, reticulospinal neurones.  相似文献

The pharmacology of the direct central connections between the fast extensor and flexor motor neurones of a locust (Schistocerca gregaria) hind leg was studied. A spike in the fast extensor produces an EPSP in the flexor motor neurones. Glutamate depolarized the flexor motor neurones when injected into the neuropil. Quisqualate, but not by kainate or NMDA, also depolarized the flexor motor neurones. The fast extensor was also depolarized by glutamate, and also by kainate, but not by quisqualate, AMPA or NMDA. The glutamate response in the flexor motor neurones and the EPSP evoked by a spike in FETi both had similar reversal potentials. The FETi-evoked EPSP was blocked by bath application of the glutamate antagonist glutamic acid diethyl ester. The responses of extrasynaptic somata receptors to glutamate were compared to the neuropil responses. Glutamate usually hyperpolarized the somata of FETi and the flexor motor neurones. The response of a flexor motor neurone to glutamate was abolished at potentials less negative than -90 mV. The results provide evidence for glutamate transmission at central synapses in the locust, and show that presumed synaptic receptors in the neuropil differ to the extrasynaptic soma response  相似文献

1. Pro-OMLC is amongst a small number of propeptide-encoding genes which are expressed at highest levels in the CNS early in development. 2. The reappearance of the peptide products in injured neurones suggests that they fulfill a function in neuronal growth, differentiation and regeneration. 3. Axonal cues may regulate gene expression in neurones with greater or less functional interaction with their target cells. 4. alpha-MSH and ACTH stimulate the differentiation of neurones by accelerating their energy uptake and axonal growth during its early phases. 5. Their neurotrophic action is mediated through a common N-terminal amino acid sequence. 6. The structure activity requirements of the molecular second messenger responses underlying this action have yet to be conclusively determined. 7. Endorphins may regulate the transition from the mitotic cycle to the onset of differentiation of neurones and glia in the CNS. 8. Little is yet known of the cellular mechanism underlying this response, but the control of peptide processing to favour opiate and non-opiate receptor-mediated responses may be a key factor in determining whether they accelerate or retard neuronal differentiation.  相似文献

On alert animals the change was studied of the neuronal activity of the sensorimotor cortical area of cats brain in dependence on the level of differentiation of the components of simultaneous heteromodal complex stimulus. According to the character of this dependence and a number of other parameters two groups of neurones were singled out in the sensorimotor cortex. It was shown that parameters of reactions of all recorded neurones of the sensorimotor cortex to the positive conditioned signal were the first established after consolidation of the animal conditioned motor activity. In the course of elaboration following parameters changed: expressiveness, intensity, duration and value of latency. Reactions of neurones of both groups to the inhibitory stimuli were stabilized only after consolidation of the habit of differentiation. Responses of the first group neurones changed only by the pattern of discharge, while the responses of the second group neurones could change by expressiveness of response, its sign, duration and value of latency. Oscillations of the differentiation level after finishing of the elaboration of inhibitory conditioned reactions affected only the responses of the second group neurones to complex components.  相似文献

The effects of the prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) given into the third cerebral ventricle on the unit activity of neurosecretory neurones in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) were studied in urethane-anesthetized rats. The firing activity of PVN neurones was recorded extracellularly and 50 neurones were antidromically identified as neurosecretory neurones. Thirty of them were classified oxytocinergic neurones because they gave a burst of action potential 12-15 sec before reflex milk ejection and the remaining twenty PVN neurones which showed no response prior to reflex milk ejections were regarded as non-oxytocinergic ones. Twenty-five (83%) of the30 oxytocinergic neurones increased in the firing rate following the intraventricular (IVT) injection of PGF2 alpha (500ng in 1 microliter of isotonic saline) and the responses lasted for about 20-30 min. The remaining 5 (17%) oxytocinergic neurones showed no response in the firing rate to IVT PGF2 alpha. Fifteen (75%) of the 20 nonoxytocinergic neurones decreased in the firing activity in response to IVT PGF2 alpha, and the remaining 5 (25%) of them showed no response. IVT injection of isotonic saline (1 microliter) did not affect the firing activity of both the oxytocinergic and nonoxytocinergic cells. The intramammary pressure was slightly increased by the IVT administration of PGF2 alpha. These findings indicate that IVT PGF2 alpha has a differential action on oxytocinergic and non-oxytocinergic neurones in rats.  相似文献

The fetus is able to exhibit a stress response to painful events, and stress hormones have been shown to modulate pulmonary vascular tone. At birth, the increased level of stress hormones plays a significant role in the adaptation to postnatal life. We therefore hypothesized that pain may alter pulmonary circulation in the perinatal period. The hemodynamic response to subcutaneous injection of formalin, which is used in experimental studies as nociceptive stimulus, was evaluated in chronically prepared, fetal lambs. Fetal lambs were operated on at 128 days gestation. Catheters were placed into the ascending aorta, superior vena cava, and main pulmonary artery. An ultrasonic flow transducer was placed around the left pulmonary artery. Three subcutaneous catheters were placed in the lambs' limb. The hemodynamic responses to subcutaneous injection of formalin, to formalin after fetal analgesia by sufentanil, and to sufentanil alone were recorded. Cortisol and catecholamine concentrations were also measured. Pulmonary vascular resistances (PVR) increased by 42% (P < 0.0001) after formalin injection. Cortisol increased by 54% (P = 0.05). During sufentanil infusion, PVR did not change significantly after formalin. Cortisol increased by 56% (P < 0.05). PVR did not change during sufentanil infusion. Norepinephrine levels did not change during any of the protocols. Our results indicate that nociceptive stimuli may increase the pulmonary vascular tone. This response is not mediated by an increase in circulating catecholamine levels. Analgesia prevents this effect. We speculate that this pulmonary vascular response to nociceptive stimulation may explain some hypoxemic events observed in newborn infants during painful intensive care procedures.  相似文献

Contractile responses of the small intestine to serotonine and histamine are mediated by cholinergic neurones, while the inhibitory responses of the substances--by nonadrenergic inhibitory neurones of the enterometasympathetic nervous system. An inhibitory response of the small intestine to met-enkephalin results from its depressing action on the effector cholinergic neurones. Catecholamines activate enteric cholinergic neurones via presynaptic beta-adrenoceptors and inhibit them via pre- and postsynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors. The cholinergic neurones of the enterometasympathetic nervous system seem to be under a double adrenergic control, and a mechanisms seems to exist in the small intestine for adrenergic activation of its contractile apparatus.  相似文献

Extracellular spikes were recorded from cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurones in spinal segments T1-T3 of the cat. Each neurone was identified by its antidromic response to electrical stimulation of the sympathetic chain and was found in histological sections to lie within the intermediolateral nucleus. Physiological properties studied in detail included basal activity, spike configuration, and latency of antidromic activation. Also studied, in tests with paired stimuli, were the threshold interstimulus interval evoking two responses, as well as changes in amplitude and latency of the second spike which occurred at intervals near this threshold. Approximately 60% of the units studied were spontaneously active, the rest were silent. Spontaneous activity was characterized by a slow (mean = 3.1 +/- 2.6 (SD) spikes/s), irregular pattern of discharge. With approximately one-third of the cases there was a periodic pattern of discharge in phase with oscillations in blood pressure. This correlation of phasic activity suggests that many of the units studied were involved specifically in cardiovascular function. Silent and spontaneously active units could not be differentiated on the basis of latency of antidromic activation or threshold interstimulus interval; mean latency for the two groups was 7.2 +/- 4.9 ms, mean threshold interval was 6.4 +/- 4.7 ms. Thus, with the exception of basal activity, the physiological properties studied failed to indicate more than a single population of neurones. These results therefore suggest that the sympathetic preganglionic neurones in the intermediolateral nucleus subserving varied autonomic functions share overlapping physiological properties, and that functional differentiation of these neurones may be based on differences in synaptic inputs.  相似文献

4-Chloro-m-cresol (cresol) and caffeine have been shown to be potent activators of the Ca(2+) release mediated by the ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) release channel and therefore increase the cytosolic free calcium concentration in skeletal muscles. To distinguish the effects of cresol and caffeine in neurones, the responses of the intracellular ([Ca(2+)](i)) and intraluminal free calcium concentrations to cresol were investigated using bullfrog sympathetic ganglion cells and then compared with those to caffeine. Cresol generated a gradual rise (slow response) with and without a fast transient rise (fast response) in [Ca(2+)](i). A low extracellular Ca(2+) concentration abolished the slow response but not the fast response, thus indicating that the slow response was caused by a Ca(2+) influx across the cell membrane. The fast response was inhibited by ryanodine, thus confirming that the source may therefore be the Ca(2+) release through the ryanodine-sensitive calcium store. Unlike caffeine, the long-term application of cresol did not cause any calcium oscillation; neither did it cause a decrease in the basal calcium levels.  相似文献

The response properties of anterior lateral line afferent neurones in Trematomus bernacchii were recorded extracellularly while stimulating the fish with unidirectional water flows of varying velocity. Afferent neurone responses were either flow-sensitive or flow-insensitive. Flow-sensitive neurones showed linear increases in response magnitude with increasing flow rate and tonic non-adapting response properties. These findings indicate that flow-sensitive afferent neurones originate from lateral line receptors that detect absolute flow velocity. The likely explanation is that flow-sensitive afferent neurones innervate neuromasts located superficially on the skin and flow-insensitive neurones innervate neuromasts situated in sub-epidermal fluid-filled canals.  相似文献
