We studied the postsynaptic potentials evoked from 76 trigeminal motoneurons by stimulation of the motor (MI) and somatosensory (SI) cortex in the ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres of the cat. Stimulation of these cortical regions evoked primarily inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (PSP) in the motoneuron of the masseter muscle, but we also observed excitatory PSP and mixed reactions of the EPSP/IPSP type. The average IPSP latent period for the motoneurons of the masseter on stimulation of the ipsilateral cortex was 6.1±0.3 msec, while that on stimulation of the contralateral cortex was 5.2±0.4 msec; the corresponding figures for the EPSP were 7.6±0.5 and 4.5±0.3 msec respectively. Corticofugal impulses evoked only EPSP and action potentials in the motoneurons of the digastric muscle (m. digastricus). The latent period of the EPSP was 7.6 msec when evoked by afferent impulses from the ipsilateral cortex and 5.4 msec when evoked by pulses from the contralateral cortex. The duration of the PSP ranged from 25 to 30 msec. Postsynaptic potentials developed in the motoneurons studied when the cortex was stimulated with a single stimulus. An increase in the number of stimuli in the series led to a rise in the PSP amplitude and a reduction in the latent periods. When the cortex was stimulated with a series of pulses (lasting 1.0 msec), the IPSP were prolonged by appearance of a late slow component. We have hypothesized that activation of the trigeminal motoneurons by corticofugal impulsation is effected through a polysynaptic pathway; each functional group of motoneurons is activated in the same manner by the ipsilateral and contralateral cortex. The excitation of the digastric motoneurons and inhibition of the masseter motoneurons indicates reciprocal cortical control of their activity.A. A.

The responses of motoneurons of the facial nerve nucleus (FNN), evoked by stimulations of the oculomotor nerve nucleus, Edinger-Westphal's nucleus,substantia nigra, and entopeduncular nucleus, were studied in acute experiments on anesthetized and immobilized cats. The FNN motoneurons were identified by their antidromic activation after stimulation of various branches of the facial nerve. Stimulation of the oculomotor nerve nucleus, Edinger-Westphal's nucleus, and ipsi- or contralateral parts of thesubstantia nigra evoked mono- and polysynaptic EPSP in the FNN motoneurons, while stimulation of the entopeduncular nucleus elicited only polysynaptic EPSP. The influences from the above structures were shown to converge on the same FNN motoneurons. The findings are discussed considering morphological peculiarities of the afferent inputs to the FNN.Neirofiziologiya/Neurophysiology, Vol. 27, No. 2, pp. 116–125, March–April, 1995.  相似文献

In acute experiments on cats we investigated evoked potentials from the cingulate gyrus developed in response to stimulation of somatic and visceral nerves; also potentials from various parts of the hypothalamus, and midbrain reticular formation. We showed that the nonspecific afferent system influences electrical activity in the limbic cortex through hypothalamic pathways. We consider the limbic cortex to be part of the association area of the neocortex and that the associative responses of the cortex are more complex in nature than is usually thought to be the case, and that they are formed under the influence of impulses arriving at the cortex along many specific and nonspecific pathways. The hypothalamo—cingulate system is one of the main systems of cortico—subcortical integration. It plays an important part in regulation of autonomic, somatic, and emotional responses.L. A.

Field potentials and postsynaptic potentials of facial motoneurons evoked by stimulation of the caudal trigeminal nucleus were investigated in acute experiments on cats by extra- and intra-cellular recording. Pre- and postsynaptic components of field potentials were found. Four types of motoneuron response were distinguished: EPSP with generation of single action potentials; a gradual shift of depolarization inducing grouped action potentials; a rhythmic discharge of action potentials arising at a low level of depolarization; and EPSPs or EPSP-IPSP sequences. The monosynaptic and (chiefly) polysynaptic nature of these responses was demonstrated. The possible mechanism of afferent control over facial motoneurons are discussed.L. A.

Fast fluctuations in the evoked potentials (EP) at a local point of the projection cortex following stimulation of different pathways may reflect the activity of pyramidal neurons of different cortical layers. Analysis shows that the afferent and interarea projections to the somatic sensory cortex terminate on different neurons which can be regarded as relay neurons for a given pathway. Each group of neurons has its own system of inhibition for selective control of impulses coming along this pathway at the cortical level.Institute of Normal and Pathological Physiology, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

We studied the antidromic and synaptic potentials evoked from 32 digastric-muscle motoneurons by stimulation of the motor nerve to this muscle, different branches of the trigeminal nerve, and the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus. Antidromic potentials appeared after 1.1 msec and lasted about 2.0 msec. Stimulation of the infraorbital, lingual, and inferior alveolar nerves led to development of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) and action potentials in the motoneurons. The antidromically and synaptically evoked action potentials of the digastric-nerve motoneurons were characterized by weak after-effects. We were able to record EPSP and action potentials in two of the motoneurons investigated in response to stimulation of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus, the latent period being 1.3 msec. This indicates the existence of a polysynaptic connection between the mesencephalic-nucleus neurons and the digastric-muscle motoneurons. Eight digastric-muscle motoneurons exhibited inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP), which were evoked by activation of the afferent fibers of the antagonistic muscle (m. masseter). The data obtained indicate the presence of reciprocal relationships between the motoneurons of the antagonistic muscles that participate in the act of mastication.A. A.

Unit responses of the first (SI) somatosensory area of the cortex to stimulation of the second somatosensory area (SII), the ventral posterior thalamic nucleus, and the contralateral forelimb, and also unit responses in SII evoked by stimulation of SI, the ventral posterior thalamic nucleus, and the contralateral forelimb were investigated in experiments on cats immobilized with D-tubocurarine or Myo-Relaxin (succinylcholine). The results showed a substantially higher percentage of neurons in SII than in SI which responded to an afferent stimulus by excitation brought about through two or more synaptic relays in the cortex. In response to cortical stimulation antidromic and orthodromic responses appeared in SI and SII neurons, confirming the presence of two-way cortico-cortical connections. In both SI and SII intracellular recording revealed in most cases PSPs of similar character and intensity, evoked by stimulation of the cortex and nucleus in the same neuron. Latent periods of orthodromic spike responses to stimulation of nucleus and cortex in 50.5% of SI neurons and 37.1% of SII neurons differed by less than 1.0 msec. In 19.6% of SI and 41.4% of SII neurons the latent period of response to cortical stimulation was 1.6–4.7 msec shorter than the latent period of the response evoked in the same neuron by stimulation of the nucleus. It is concluded from these results that impulses from SI play an important role in the afferent activation of SII neurons.A. A.

The effect of stimulation of the ipsilateral and contralateral red nuclei on motoneurons of the hypoglossal nucleus was studied in cats anesthetized with chloralose and pentobarbital. In 35 (69%) of the 51 motoneurons tested, PSPs were generated in response to stimulation of the red nuclei by series of 3 to 5 stimuli of threshold strength and with a frequency of 500–600/sec. Of this number, 33 motoneurons responded to stimulation by EPSPs, whose latent periods varied from 3.5 to 14.0 msec (mean value for the ipsilateral red nucleus 5.7±0.75, for the contralateral nucleus 6.8±0.8 msec), whereas two motoneurons responded (after 6.2 msec) by IPSPs. Of the 35 motoneurons responding to stimulation of the red nuclei, stimulation of the lingual nerve evoked EPSPs in 31 and IPSPs in 4 (two of them were inhibited by rubrofugal impulses). IPSPs were generated as a result of stimulation of the lingual nerve in 16 motoneurons which did not respond to rubrofugal impulses.A. A.

Temporal and amplitude characteristics of evoked potentials of the sensomotor cortex in waking cats were studied during variation in the intensity of electrodermal stimulation. The results obtained in experiments on intact animals and on the same animals for several months after division of the spinocervical tracts at the cervical level were compared. After blocking of the inflow of afferent impulses along these tracts of the spinal cord, statistically significant changes in evoked potentials were observed, mainly in response to medium and strong stimulation. These changes were more clear in the motor and second somatosensory areas of the cortex. A decrease in sensitivity to pain also was found. During recovery of the motor functions, cutaneous sensation remained impaired and the amplitude characteristics of the evoked somatosensory activity were not restored. The results suggest that thinner fibers predominate among the primary afferent fibers of the spinocervical tract, and their projections are more widely represented in the second somatosensory and motor areas of the cortex.Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

Synaptic processes in various functional groups of thoracic motoneurons (Th9-Th11) evoked by stimulation of segmental nerves were investigated in anesthetized and decerebrate cats. No reciprocal relations were found between these groups of motoneurons. Only excitatory mono- and polysynaptic responses were recorded in the motoneurons of the principal intercostal nerve following stimulation of the homonymous nerve. Activation of the afferents of the external intercostal muscle and dorsal branches does not cause noticeable synaptic processes in these motoneurons; much more rarely it is accompanied by the development of low-amplitude polysynaptic EPSP's. In motoneurons of the dorsal branches, stimulation of homonymous nerves leads to the appearance of simple, short-latent EPSP's. Late responses of the IPSP or EPSP - IPSP type with a predominance of the inhibitory component were observed in most motoneurons of this type following activation of the afferent fibers of the principal intercostal nerve. In other motoneurons of the dorsal muscles, stimulation of the main intercostal nerve (and nerve of the external intercostal muscle) did not evoke apparent synpatic processes. EPSP's (mono- and polysynaptic) appeared in the motoneurons of the external intercostal muscle following stimulation of the homonymous and main intercostal nerves. Activation of the afferents of the dorsal branches was ineffective. The character of the synaptic responses of the respiratory motoneurons to segmental afferent stimulation, investigated under conditions of spontaneous respiration, was different. The characteristics of synaptic activation of thoracic motoneurons by segmental afferents under conditions of hyperventilation apnea and during spontaneous breathing of the animals are discussed.A.

Potentials evoked in nuclei of the reticular formation by electrodermal stimulation of the limbs were investigated in acute experiments on unanesthetized, immobilized rats during cooling of the somatosensory cortex in the area of representation of one forelimb. Evoked potentials in the reticular formation were found to depend on the degree of cold inhibition of the cortical primary response to the same stimulation. The peak time of the main negative wave increased from 40–50 to 60–80 msec with a simultaneous decrease in its amplitude or its total disappearance in the case of deep cooling of the cortex. Cooling of the cortex had a similar although weaker effect on the earlier wave of the evoked potential with a peak time of 14 msec, recorded in the ventral reticular nucleus. In parallel recordings of potentials evoked by stimulation of other limbs they remained unchanged at these same points of the reticular formation or were reduced in amplitude while preserving the same temporal parameters. Cooling of the cortex thus selectively delays the development and reduces the amplitude of the response to stimulation of the limb in whose area of representation transformation of the afferent signal into a corticofugal volley is blocked. Consequently the normal development of both late and early components of the potential evoked in the reticular formation by somatic stimulation requires an additional volley, descending from the cortex, and formed as a result of transformation of the same afferent signal in the corresponding point of the somatosensory cortex.I.

The compound nature of EPSP occurring in response to stimulation of the sensorimotor area of the cerebral cortex and the association area of the parietal cortex was shown during acute experiments on cats anesthetized by pentobarbital using an intracellular recording technique. The monosynaptic nature of the two first components of EPSP produced by corticofugal impulses spreading at the average rate of 18.5 and 7.5 msec, respectively, was established. It is postulated that these EPSP components are produced by activating the slow conducting pyramidal and corticorubral neurons. In a portion of rubrospinal neurons the first component of EPSP produced by corticofugal impulses was marked by a fast-rising phase and reflected electrophysiological activation of axosomatic synapses. Findings are discussed with regard to mechanisms reorganizing cortical synaptic inputs to the red nucleus neurons.L. A.

Early (spinal) and late (spino-bulbo-spinal) responses of interneurons in segments T9–10 to stimulation of the splanchnic and intercostal nerves and the dorso-lateral and ventral funiculi of the spinal cord (at the C3 level) were investigated in experiments on cats anesthetized with chloralose. The experiments showed that interneurons activated by spinal and spino-bulbo-spinal mechanisms differ in their distribution in the dorso-ventral plane of the spinal cord. Cells of layers I–V were excited by spinal pathways only, but those of layers VII and VIII by both spinal and spino-bulbo-spinal or only by the latter. Spino-bulbo-spinal effects were evoked in interneurons by both somatic and visceral afferent waves. A conditioning spino-bulbo-spinal wave evoked deep and prolonged inhibition of late activity induced by somatic or visceral afferent impulses. Early (spinal) activity was inhibited only partially under these circumstances. This inhibition was shown to take place with the participation of supraspinal structures. The possible types of spinal and supraspinal mechanisms of inhibition of early and late activity in spinal neurons are discussed.Institute of Normal and Pathological Physiology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Czechoslovakia.

In experiments conducted on cats anesthetized with Nembutal, it was shown that a primary response, a delayed negative response, and afterwards, a slow negative potential ariseing. sigmoideus posterior following the application of a single stimulus to the ventroposterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. The generation of these potentials is accompanied by the appearance of three spike-like deflections in the subcortical white matter. These deflections reflect arrivals of afferent impulses to the cortex. It is suggested that the delayed negative wave chiefly reflects the activity of stellate cells, while the slow negative potential mainly reflects the activity of glial cells. It is concluded that the appearances of the three enumerated reactions are connected with the successive arrivals of impulses from the thalamus to the cortex along three different systems of afferent fibers, differing from one another with respect to velocities of impulse conduction and characteristic distributions of endings in the cortex.I.

The effects of stimulation of the ipsilateral sensomotor cortex were studied on 88 neurons in the region of the main trigeminal sensory nucleus of a cat. The cortex was stimulated via a coaxial electrode by single impulses. Stimulation of the cortex caused the appearance of EPSPs and action potentials in these neurons; a small number of these responses were monosynaptic. The polarity of the impulse applied to the cortex had a significant effect on the magnitude of the latent period of the response and the postsynaptic reaction, which is apparently caused by the stimulation of different types of cortex neurons. Apparently, corticofugal pulsation regulates the level of sensitivity of the trigeminal sensory neurons.A. A. Bogomolets' Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.

Tectal evoked potentials to stimulation of the facial nerve, containing afferent fibers of nonolfactory chemoreception, in the carp are positive evoked potentials with a latent period of 5 to 25 msec which show no phase shift as the microelectrode is advanced to a depth of 600 µ. Depending on the amplitude and latency of evoked potentials seven active zones differing in one or both parameters were distinguished in the ipsilateral tectum mesencephali. The role of impulses from the medulla in the mechanism of tectal evoked potentials to facial nerve stimulation is proved by differences in latent periods and disappearance of the tectal response (although it is preserved in the primary center) after severance of connections between the two parts of the brain. Descending influences from the tectum on the primary center were found: its extirpation disturbs evoked potential generation in several parts of the medullla, so that they either disappear completely or their parameters are modified.A.

Antidromic activation of facial motoneurons in cats during stimulation of different branches of the facial nerve was studied by intracellular recording. Time and amplitude characteristics of individual components of the antidromic action potentials were analyzed and fast and slow after-potentials distinguished. Correlation was found between the duration of the descending phase of the SD spike, duration of its after-hyperpolarization, and the spike conduction time along the axon. Data were obtained to show absence of a recurrent collateral pathway in motoneurons of the facial nucleus. The functional significance of the after-potentials is discussed.L. A.

Postsynaptic potentials of 93 motoneurons of the masseter muscle evoked by stimulation of different branches of the trigeminal nerve were studied. Stimulation of the most excitable afferent fibers of the motor nerve of the masseter muscle evoked monosynaptic EPSPs with a latent period of 1.2–2.0 msec, changing into action potentials when the strength of stimulation was increased. A further increase in the strength of stimulation produced an antidromic action potential in the motoneurons with a latent period of 0.9 msec. In some motoneurons polysynaptic EPSPs and action potentials developed following stimulation of the motor nerve to the masseter muscle. The ascending phase of synaptic and antidromic action potentials was subdivided into IS and SD components, while the descending phase ended with definite depolarization and hyperpolarization after-potentials. Stimulation of cutaneous branches of the trigeminal nerve, and also of the motor nerve of the antagonist muscle (digastric) evoked IPSPs with a latent period of 2.7–3.5 msec in motoneurons of the masseter muscle. These results indicate the existence of functional connections between motoneurons of the masseter muscle and its proprioceptive afferent fibers, and also with proprioceptive afferent fibers of the antagonist muscle and cutaneous afferent fibers.A.

Unit responses in the anterior sigmoid gyrus of cats anesthetized with chloralose (70 mg/kg) to vestibular nerve stimulation and their interaction with responses to acoustic and facial nerve stimulation were investigated. The focus of maximal activity of the vestibular projection was shown to lie a little rostrally to the anterior suprasylvian sulcus. The modality specificity of this part of the cortex to vestibular impulses is reflected in the shortest values of latent periods and the distinct phasic character of the responses, and also in the numerical preponderance of neurons with short-latency responses. Although considerable topographic overlapping of the vestibular projection by acoustic and somatosensory (facial zone) projections is found, the vestibular afferent input predominates over the other afferent inputs.I.

The distribution and ultrastructure of terminals of corticofugal fibers in the rhombencephalon and spinal cord of the cat were studied by light and electron microscopy at various times (4–6 days) of experimental degeneration after extensive or local (about 3 mm in diameter) destruction of the sensomotor cortex. Definite topographical organization of corticofugal projections in the nuclei of the dorsal columns and in the spinal cord was detected by the Fink — Heimer method. After local destruction of the lateral zones of the sensomotor cortex, maximal foci of degeneration were found in the nucleus of Burdach and the lateral basilar region of the cervical segments; after local destruction of the medial zones of the sensomotor cortex maximal foci of degeneration of corticofugal fibers were observed in Goll's nucleus and the lateral basilar region of the lumbar segments. The results show that even an extremely localized area of the cat sensomotor cortex forms two separate systems of descending corticospinal fibers. The first projects into the dorsolateral and dorsomedial parts of the intermediate zone, chiefly contralaterally, whereas the second projects bilaterally into both dorsolateral and ventromedial parts of the intermediate zone. The possible physiological significance of this duality of projections is discussed.A. A. Bogomolets Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.
