本研究在麻醉并制动的大鼠上观察了电刺激巨细胞网状核(Gi)对小脑浦肯野细胞(PC)自发及诱发简单锋电位的影响。结果如下:(1)刺激Gi可使PC的简单锋电位出现潜伏期小于20ms的抑制性或兴奋性反应,并以抑制性反应为主。抑制性反应持续40-100ms,而兴奋性反应的时程可达200ms以上;(2)注射5-HT_2型受体阻断剂methysergide可以减弱或阻断电刺激Gi对PC自发简单锋电位的抑制作用;(3)条件性Gi刺激可以显著压抑或加强由刺激对侧大脑皮层感觉运动区引起的PC诱发简单锋电位反应。以上结果说明:在大鼠存在Gi-小脑通路,这一通路中的部分纤维是5-HT能的。Gi-小脑纤维可能通过突触和/或非经典突触的化学传递方式对PC的电活动产生某种调制性的影响。推测Gi-小脑传入纤维投射可能在某些小脑功能活动,如肌紧张及姿势的调节等方面发挥重要作用。 相似文献

Presynaptic inhibition of primary afferents can be evoked from at least three sources in the adult animal: 1) by stimulation of several supraspinal structures; 2) by spinal reflex action from sensory inputs; or 3) by the activity of spinal locomotor networks. The depolarisation in the intraspinal afferent terminals which is due, at least partly, to the activation of GABA(A) receptors may be large enough to reach firing threshold and evoke action potentials that are antidromically conducted into peripheral nerves. Little is known about the development of presynaptic inhibition and its supraspinal control during ontogeny. This article, reviewing recent experiments performed on the in vitro brainstem/spinal cord preparation of the neonatal rat, demonstrates that a similar organisation is present, to some extent, in the new-born rat. A spontaneous activity consisting of antidromic discharges can be recorded from lumbar dorsal roots. The discharges are generated by the underlying afferent terminal depolarizations reaching firing threshold. The number of antidromic action potentials increases significantly in saline solution with chloride concentration reduced to 50% of control. Bath application of the GABA(A) receptor antagonist, bicuculline (5-10 microM) blocks the antidromic discharges almost completely. Dorsal root discharges are therefore triggered by chloride-dependent GABA(A) receptor-mediated mechanisms; 1) activation of descending pathways by stimulation delivered to the ventral funiculus (VF) of the spinal cord at the C1 level; 2) activation of sensory inputs by stimulation of a neighbouring dorsal root; or 3) pharmacological activation of the central pattern generators for locomotion evokes antidromic discharges in dorsal roots. VF stimulation also inhibited the response to dorsal root stimulation. The time course of this inhibition overlapped with that of the dorsal root discharge suggesting that part of the inhibition of the monosynaptic reflex may be exerted at a presynaptic level. The existence of GABA(A) receptor-independent mechanisms and the roles of the antidromic discharges in the neonatal rat are discussed. 相似文献

The character of dorsal horn motoneurons and interneurons evoked by stimulation of the dorsal root, and activity of Renshaw cells in response to stimulation of the ventral root were studied in albino rats in the lower lumbar segments of the spinal cord 5 days after sciatic nerve division. A significant increase in the mean amplitude of excitatory postsynaptic potentials of motoneurons was observed on the side of division of the nerve. No significant change in membrane potential and in the threshold of appearance of the action potential of these motoneurons took place. The mean number of action potentials and the duration of discharge of the Renshaw cells and dorsal horn interneurons likewise were not significantly changed.Dnepropetrovsk Medical Institute, Ukrainian Ministry of Health.

Spontaneous rhythmic impulse discharges of motoneurons of spinal centers of the posterior lymphatic hearts have been recorded from the ventral roots of isolated spinal cord perfused by oxygenated Ringer's solution. Inhibition of the transmission in interneuronal synapses evoked by abolition of Ca ions from the external solution and by the addition to the latter of 1--4 mM EDTA was accompanied by the block of the spontaneous impulse activity. Blocking of rhythmic efferent discharges in the anterior roots was also observed after the addition to normal Ringer's solution of 10--30 mM MgCl2. Inhibition of the spontaneous activity by high Mg content in the perfusion fluid could be alleviated by the addition of 5--15 mM CaCl2 to this solution. Antidromic impulses in the ventral roots of the XI and X segments, evoked by rhythmic electrical stimulation of these roots, did not affect the intrinsic rhythm of motor discharges. 相似文献

The effects of substance P and an enkephalin analogue administered by electrophoresis into the substantia gelatinosa have been examined on the synaptic responses of dorsal horn neurons evoked by peripheral stimulation. Extracellular neuronal firing was studied in cats under pentobarbitone anesthesia. The enkephalin produced naloxone-reversible depression of responses to noxious heat stimulation without affecting responses to non-noxious stimuli. Substance P caused a selective enhancement or depression of noxious responses. It was tentatively concluded that substance P may modify the release of a sensory transmitter and produce direct post synaptic changes in membrane excitability. 相似文献

In albino rats, we studied the effects of long-lasting tetanization of the dorsal roots of the L
5 (homosynaptic activation) and L
4 (heterosynaptic activation) segments on reflex discharges in the L
5 ventral root evoked by single stimulation of the dorsal root of the same segment. Tetanization trains consisted of 5,000 stimuli applied with frequencies of 10, 50, 100, or 300 sec–1, and their effects were tested during 10 min. There were no long-term post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) of monosynaptic responses when low frequencies of homosynaptic tetanization (10 and 50 sec–1) were used. In the case of higher frequencies, PTP was rather clear and long-lasting. Under conditions of heterosynaptic activation, there was no PTP. Facilitation of polysynaptic responses developed at all the frequencies of homosynaptic tetanization used; when heterosynaptic tetanization was applied, such facilitation (although weaker) was also observed. In rats treated with agents increasing the excitability of spinal neuronal systems, such as thyroxine and 4-aminopyridine, tetanization of the studied inputs evoked long-term depression (LTD) of both mono- and polysynaptic components of the reflex discharges instead of PTP. Probable mechanisms of postsynaptic changes in the segmental reflex responses are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of noradrenalin (NA) and serotonin (5-HT) on responses of area CA3 cells evoked by electrical stimulation of mossy fibers was studied in slices of guinea pig hippocampus survivingin vitro. Both substances, which modify the general level and organization of spontaneous activity, also affected responses of area CA3 cells. Changes in magnitude and structure of the response usually correlated with corresponding changes in spontaneous activity. In certain cases NA, which lowered the frequency of spontaneous activity but increased its relative content of "complex discharges" and also the number of reduced action potentials in the complex discharge, also led to an increase in the response to stimulation. 5-HT evoked periodic grouped activity in some cells and led to the appearance of such grouped discharges for the first time in the responses of other cells. Unlike NA, 5-HT caused prolonged (up to 40 min) after-facilitation of the response and an increase in spontaneous discharge frequency.Institute of Biological Physics, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Pushchino-on-Oka.

Specific effects of alpha-D,L-aminoadipic acid on synaptic transmission in frog spinal cord 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The sucrose gap technique was employed to investigate both synaptic and amino acid evoked responses from motoneurones or primary afferents of frog spinal cord. alpha-D,L-Aminoadipic acid (alpha-D,L-AAD) selectively antagonized responses to acidic amino acids, especially aspartate. The drug was most effective in antagonizing the polysynaptic components of synaptic potentials evoked by dorsal root or lateral column stimulation but had little effect on their monosynaptic components. The ventral root dorsal root potential which is thought to be mediated by a pathway that does not involve acidic amino acids was insensitive to alpha-D,L-AAD. These data, which were confirmed by intracellular recording from motoneurones, provided further evidence for the role of acidic amino acids in polysynaptic pathways in frog spinal cord. 相似文献

The work deals with study of role of inhibitory interneurons in the process of regulation of sensory currents converging on
soma of pyramidal cells of the dorsolateral amygdala nucleus as well as of role of these interneurons in mechanism of regulation
of plasticity of amygdala synapses. It has been shown that the part of the spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents recorded
on the dorsolateral amygdala pyramidal cells is relatively high and amounts to about a half of the total amount of the recorded
events. Analysis of the evoked postsynaptic responses has shown the interneurons to regulate activity and duration of these
responses due to the postsynaptic membrane hyperpolarization as a result of activation of GABAA-receptors. Also studied was role of interneurons in providing mechanisms of the long-term potentiation of the synaptic responses
evoked by stimulation of cortical and thalamic inputs. Block of effect of interneurons with help of picrotoxin has been shown
to lead to an increase of evoked potentiation of synaptic responses. 相似文献

This series of three papers presents data on a system of neurons, the large supramedullary cells (SMC) of the puffer, Spheroides maculatus, in terms of the physiological properties of the individual cells, of their afferent and efferent connections, and of their interconnections. Some of these findings are verified by available anatomical data, but others suggest structures that must be sought for in the light of the demonstration that these cells are not sensory neurons. Analysis on so broad a scale was made possible by the accessibility of the cells in a compact cluster on the dorsal surface of the spinal cord. Simultaneous recordings were made intracellularly and extracellularly from individual cells or from several, frequently with registration of the afferent or efferent activity as well. The passive and active electrical properties of the SMC are essentially similar to those of other neurons, but various response characteristics have been observed which are related to different excitabilities of different parts of the neuron, and to specific anatomical features. The SMC produce spikes to direct stimuli by intracellular depolarization, or by indirect synaptic excitation from many afferent paths, including tactile stimulation of the skin. Responses that were evoked by intracellular stimulation of a single cell cause an efferent discharge bilaterally in many dorsal roots, but not in the ventral. Sometimes several distinct spikes occurred in the same root, and behaved independently. Thus, a number of axons are efferent from each neuron. They are large unmyelinated fibers which give rise to the elevation of slowest conduction in the compound action potential of the dorsal root. A similar component is absent in the ventral root action potential. Antidromic stimulation of the axons causes small potentials in the cell body, indicating that the antidromic spikes are blocked distantly to the soma, probably in the axon branches. The failure of antidromic invasion is correlated with differences in excitability of the axons and the neurite from which they arise. As recorded in the cell body, the postsynaptic potentials associated with stimulation of afferent fibers in the dorsal roots or cranial nerves are too small to discharge the soma spike. The indirect spike has two components, the first of which is due to the synaptically initiated activity of the neurite and which invades the cell body. The second component is then produced when the soma is fired. The neurite impulse arises at some distance from the cell body and propagates centrifugally as well as centripetally. An indirect stimulus frequently produces repetitive spikes which are observed to occur synchronously in all the cells examined at one time. Each discharge gives rise to a large efferent volley in each of the dorsal roots and cranial nerves examined. The synchronized responses of all the SMC to indirect stimulation occur with slightly different latencies. They are due to a combination of excitation by synaptic bombardment from the afferent pathways and by excitatory interconnections among the SMC. Direct stimulation of a cell may also excite all the others. This spread of activity is facilitated by repetitive direct excitation of the cell as well as by indirect stimulation. 相似文献

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.

In anaesthetized and paralyzed rats, the effect of dorsal raphe (DR) conditioning stimulation on cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) responses to mossy fiber and climbing fiber inputs were examined. The main results are as follows: (1) Stimulation of cerebral sensorimotor cortex elicits widespread activation of mossy and climbing fiber inputs to PCs in contralateral VI and VII lobules of the cerebellum and generates two kinds of evoked responses, i.e. the simple spike (SS) and the complex spike (CS) responses with respectively a latency 8-25 and 12-30 ms. (2) These PC responses could be markedly suppressed by stimulation of DR at intensities which by themselves were subthreshold for directly affecting PC's spontaneous SS and CS activities. (3) This DR-induced depressive effects on evoked PC's SS and CS excitations could be attenuated or blocked by systemic administration of 5-HT receptor blocker methysergide. These results demonstrate that serotonergic fiber input from DR can suppress the efficacy of mossy and climbing fiber synaptic action on PC, or decrease the responsiveness of PC itself to afferent synaptic action. The findings of this study also suggest that the raphe-cerebellar serotonergic fiber afferent system may be involved in some of the important neuronal processing in the cerebellum. 相似文献

Interaction between responses to acoustic clicks and to electrodermal stimulation of the contralateral forelimb was investigated in 78 neurons in the magnocellular part of the medial geniculate body of curarized cats. Of this number, 33 neurons responded by discharges both to clicks and to electrodermal stimulation, 25 responded to clicks only, and 20 to electrodermal stimulation only, or to stimulation of the dorsal funiculus of the spinal cord. Conditioning stimulation evoked inhibition of the response to the testing stimulus in 32 of 33 neurons responding by spike discharges to both clicks and electrodermal stimulation. Electrodermal stimulation inhibited responses to clicks in all the neurons tested which responded only to clicks, whereas clicks evoked inhibition of responses to electrodermal stimulation (or to stimulation of the dorsal funiculus) in only four of the 20 neurons which responded to these types of stimulation only. It is suggested that inhibition of excitability arising in neurons of the magnocellular part of the medial geniculate body during interaction between auditory and somatosensory afferent volleys is based on postsynaptic inhibition.A.

In the guinea pig, EPSPs and population spikes were found to be generated in the apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons of middle and ventral hippocampus, in response to dorsal hippocampal commissure (PSD) stimulation, without any involvement of dentate gyrus granule cells of corresponding segments. These long-latency synaptic effects were evoked only by repetitive (0.2-2.0 c/sec) PSD stimulation and showed increasing latency in ventral direction. A cross section between dorsal and middle hippocampus was followed by the disappearance of the responses ventrally to the section. The results show that the postsynaptic discharge of dorsal pyramidal neurons is transferred to more ventral hippocampal segments by an intrahippocampal longitudinal association system. 相似文献

Activity of reticulospinal neurons evoked by stimulation of the ventral, ventrolateral, dorsolateral, and dorsal funiculi of the spinal cord was recorded extracellularly in cats anesthetized with chloralose. Responses of 57 reticulospinal neurons, of which 22 projected into the ventral funiculus, 20 into the ventrolateral, and 15 into the dorsolateral, were studied. The functional properties (conduction velocity and refractory period) and the location of the neurons of the above-mentioned groups in the medulla did not differ appreciably. The most effective synaptic activation of all neurons was observed during stimulation of the dorsal and dorsolateral funiculi. Responses to stimulation of the dorsal funiculus had the lowest threshold. These responses arose in reticulospinal neurons of the ventral and ventrolateral funiculi after the shortest latent period. The effectiveness of synaptic influences from the dorsal and dorsolateral funiculi was identical in the group of neurons of the dorsolateral funiculus. Correlation between activity evoked by stimulation of the dorsal funiculus in reticulospinal neurons and peripheral nerves indicated that the responses appeared in these cells to stimulation of muscular (groups I and II) and cutaneous (group II) afferent fibers. The results indicate that impulses from low-threshold muscular and cutaneous afferents, which effectively activate reticulospinal neurons, are transmitted along ascending pathways of the dorsal funiculi.A.

1. The electrical activity of Renshaw cells monosynaptically excited by ventral root stimulation and disynaptically excited by electric stimulation of the group I afferents in the GS nerve has been recorded and their response to individual sinusoidal stretches of the deefferented GS muscle tested for different amplitudes and durations of the stimulus. 2. The experimental data indicate that the Rensahw cell responses are not only length dependent but also rate dependent. This finding indicates that the same Renshaw cells receive recurrent collaterals of both tonic and phasic motoneurons. 3. The observation that the discharge of Renshaw cells is particularly sensitive to the velocity of stretch suggests that the recurrent collaterals of large phasic motoneurons, which are recruited during high velocity stretches, exert a stronger excitatory action on Renshaw cells than do axon collaterals of the smaller tonic motoneurons, which are selectively stimulated during low velocity stretches. 相似文献

Descending serotonergic, noradrenergic, and dopaminergic systems project diffusely to sensory, motor and autonomic spinal cord regions. Using neonatal mice, this study examined monoaminergic modulation of visceral sensory input and sympathetic preganglionic output. Whole-cell recordings from sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs) in spinal cord slice demonstrated that serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine modulated SPN excitability. Serotonin depolarized all, while noradrenaline and dopamine depolarized most SPNs. Serotonin and noradrenaline also increased SPN current-evoked firing frequency, while both increases and decreases were seen with dopamine. In an in vitro thoracolumbar spinal cord/sympathetic chain preparation, stimulation of splanchnic nerve visceral afferents evoked reflexes and subthreshold population synaptic potentials in thoracic ventral roots that were dose-dependently depressed by the monoamines. Visceral afferent stimulation also evoked bicuculline-sensitive dorsal root potentials thought to reflect presynaptic inhibition via primary afferent depolarization. These dorsal root potentials were likewise dose-dependently depressed by the monoamines. Concomitant monoaminergic depression of population afferent synaptic transmission recorded as dorsal horn field potentials was also seen. Collectively, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine were shown to exert broad and comparable modulatory regulation of viscero-sympathetic function. The general facilitation of SPN efferent excitability with simultaneous depression of visceral afferent-evoked motor output suggests that descending monoaminergic systems reconfigure spinal cord autonomic function away from visceral sensory influence. Coincident monoaminergic reductions in dorsal horn responses support a multifaceted modulatory shift in the encoding of spinal visceral afferent activity. Similar monoamine-induced changes have been observed for somatic sensorimotor function, suggesting an integrative modulatory response on spinal autonomic and somatic function. 相似文献

1. Renshaw cells responding disynaptically to electrically induced group I volleys in the intact gastrocnemius-soleus (GS) nerve, were submitted to small-amplitude, high-frequency vibration applied longitudinally to the deefferented GS muscle in precollicular decerebrate cats. 2. Vibration of the GS muscle at 200/sec, 180 mu peak-to-peak amplitude for 80-100 msec produced a sudden increase in the discharge rate of Renshaw cells, which gradually decreased within 25-50 msec to reach a steady level higher than that recorded in the absence of vibration. 3. Excitation of Renshaw cells appeared at a threshold amplitude of vibration (at 200-250/sec) of 5-20 mu and increased to a maximum value for amplitudes of about 70-80 mu, i.e., when all the primary endings of the spindles from the GS muscle had been driven by the stimulus. Recruitment of the secondary endings of the muscle spindles, due to large amplitude muscle vibration, did not modify the response of the Renshaw cells to the mechanically induced group Ia volleys. 4. These findings were obtained with the GS muscle pulled at 8 mm of initial extension. A threshold response of Renshaw cells to vibration appeared at 4 mm of static stretch, while maximal responses occurred at 8 mm. No further increase and actually a slight decrease in the response appeared for initial extensions of the muscle of 10-12 mm. 5. For a given vibration amplitude, the response of the Renshaw cells increased with increasing frequencies of vibration to reach the maximum at frequencies of 150-250/sec. Bursts of Renshaw cell discharges synchronous to each stroke of vibrator occurred only for low frequencies of stimulation (less than 25/sec). 6. It is concluded that vibration of the GS muscle represents a very effective method in exciting the Renshaw cells and that this response depends upon selective stimulation of homonymous motoneurons monosynaptically excited by the orthodromic volleys originating from the primary endings of the corresponding muscle spindles. 相似文献
