Small numbers of short- and long-axon cholinergic interneurons were revealed on a slab of association cortex three weeks after (neuronal) isolation from the cat by means of a histochemical acetylcholinesterase reaction. Short-axon neurons are located at layers II–VI and take the form of mainly spindle-shaped medium sized cells with their axons forming synaptic terminals on pyramidal and stellate neurons of the isolated section. Typical positioning of cholinergic terminals on the perikaryon and proximal portions of cholinoceptive neuron dendrites was noted. Pyramidal cholinoceptive cells may be classed as noncholinergic cells, whereas stellate cells may be either cholinergic or noncholinergic. Long-axon cholinergic interneurons of different shapes and sizes are situated at layers I and VI. Neuronal axons located in these layers run within fibers of the first and subcortical layers, establishing intracortical connections beyond the confines of the isolated section.A. A.

Quantitative estimates of the density of distribution of interneurons forming descending intersegmental connections in the cat spinal cord were obtained. Neurons were labeled by retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase injected unilaterally at different segmental levels. The mean number of labeled units per section 50 µ thick, in a given zone, was used as the measure of density. The density of distribution of the propriospinal neurons forming the longest tracts between the cervical and lumbosacral regions of the cord was found to be about half the density of distribution of neurons with short (not more than two segments) axons, and to be several times less than the corresponding value for neurons with axons of intermediate length. No marked local peaks of density of distribution of long-axon neurons were found at the level of the brachial enlargement. The number of neurons with crossed axons in most segments was close to half of the total number of propriospinal units. Zones of transverse section of the spinal cord with maximal concentrations of neurons forming direct and crossed propriospinal tracts of different lengths were determined at different levels. Correlation between the quantitative composition of propriospinal neuron populations with characteristics of influences transmitted by these populations is examined.A. A.

Histochemical study of neuronally isolated area AI of the auditory cortex in cats by the reaction for acetylcholinesterase 3 days and 1, 2, and 3 weeks after undercutting showed that the cholinergic neuropil of this area is formed mainly by incoming fibers and to a lesser degree by processes from a few intrinsic cholinergic neurons. The intrinsic cholinergic neurons include, first, cholinergic long-axon association neurons responding to cortical isolation by retrograde changes and by hyperreaction to acetylcholinesterase (Cajal-Retzius cells of layer I and neurons of layer VI, whose axons run into the subcortical layer of association fibers), and, second, cholinergic short-axon association neurons of layers II–VI, preserving their normal cell structure and moderate acetylcholinesterase activity after isolation. Axon collaterals of similar cells terminate on neighboring neurons. Short-axon neurons are more numerous in the lower layers of the cortex, and exceed in number the long-axon association neurons. Choliniceptive neurons (pyramidal and stellate), on whose bodies and proximal dendrites are located terminals formed by axons of cholinergic association neurons, are found in the isolated cortex. Choliniceptive neurons are found more often in the lower layers of the cortex.A. A. Bogomolets Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev. I. I.

Projections from thalamic neurons to the visual (area 17) and parietal association cortex (area 7) were investigated in cats by means of retrograde axonal transport of fluorescent dyes. Pulvinar neurons may be divided into three groups on the basis of their connections with these areas: those projecting to area 7 (the largest (the largest group of cells), those projecting to area 17 (the smaller group), and others sending out axons to two cortical areas at the same time (a few isolated units). The two first groups only were found in the posterolateral thalamus. Divergence between axonal collaterals of pulvinar neurons may be responsible for parallel routes of information transmission to the visual and association cortex.Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

It was shown by the Golgi and Golgi-Kopsch method that pyramidal cells of layers II–IV in the frontal cortex of the monkeyMacaca rhesus have numeruous, mainly recurrent axon collaterals by means of which they form vertical connections. Pyramidal cells with ascending axons are found. Axons of stellate basket neurons unite pyramidal cells in both horizontal (modules) and vertical (micromodules) directions; depending on the direction of the axon collaterals, two groups of stellate neurons can be distinguished. Groups of 14 to 16 pyramidal cells whose apical dendrites are connected into bundles were found. Axons of pyramidal cells in layers II–IV descend in the composition of the pyramidal tract and give off collaterals which run toward the bodies and dendrites of neighboring pyramidal cells, united into the same group, forming terminal and en passant junctions. Besides bundles, special kinds of "local" cell groups with U-shaped axons are found.A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad State University.

Interneuronal connections of area 7 of the cat parietal cortex with projection areas of the visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortex were analyzed by orthograde degeneration and retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase methods. By combined investigation the cortico-cortical sources of afferentation of parietal area 7 could be precisely identified and concentration sites of neurons sending their axons into this area identified, and the morphological characteristics of these neurons could also be determined.A.

The latent periods, amplitude, and duration of IPSPs arising in neurons in different parts of the cat cortex in response to afferent stimuli, stimulation of thalamocortical fibers, and intracortical microstimulation are described. The duration of IPSPs evoked in cortical neurons in response to single afferent stimuli varied from 20 to 250 msec (most common frequency 30–60 msec). During intracortical microstimulation of the auditory cortex, IPSPs with a duration of 5–10 msec also appeared. Barbiturates and chloralose increased the duration of the IPSPs to 300–500 msec. The latent period of 73% of IPSPs arising in auditory cortical neurons in response to stimulation of thalamocortical fibers was 1.2 msec longer than the latent period of monosynaptic EPSPs evoked in the same way. It is concluded from these data that inhibition arising in most neurons of cortical projection areas as a result of the arrival of corresponding afferent impulsation is direct afferent inhibition involving the participation of cortical inhibitory interneurons. A mechanism of recurrent inhibition takes part in the development of inhibition in a certain proportion of neurons. IPSPs arise monosynaptically in 2% of cells. A study of responses of cortical neurons to intracortical microstimulation showed that synaptic delay of IPSPs in these cells is 0.3–0.4 msec. The length of axons of inhibitory neurons in layer IV of the auditory cortex reaches 1.5 mm. The velocity of spread of excitation along these axons is 1.6–2.8 msec (mean 2.2 msec).A. A.

Modulation of synaptic events by heavy metals in the central nervous system of mollusks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary 1. The effects of heavy metals (Pb2+, Hg2+, and Zn2+) on synaptic transmission in the identified neural network ofHelix pomatia L. andLymnaea stagnalis L. (Gastropoda, Mollusca) were studied, with investigation of effects on inputs and outputs as wells as on interneuronal connections.2. The sensory input running from the cardiorenal system to the central nervous system and the synaptic connections between central neurons were affected by heavy metals.3. Lead and mercury (10–5–10–3
M) eliminated first the inhibitory, then the excitatory inputs running from the heart to central neurons. At the onset of action lead increased the amplitude of the excitatory postsynaptic potentials, but blockade of sensory information transfer occurred after 10–20 min of treatment.4. The monosynaptic connections between identified interneurons were inhibited by lead and mercury but not by zinc. Motoneurons were found to be less sensitive to heavy metal treatment than interneurons or sensory pathways.5. The treatment with Pb2+ and Hg2+ often elicited pacemaker and bursting-type firing in central neurons, accompanied by disconnection of synaptic pathways, manifested by insensitivity to sensory synaptic influences.6. Zn2+ treatment also sometimes induced pacemaker activity and burst firing but did not cause disconnection of the synaptic transmission between interneurons.7. A network analysis of heavy metal effects can be a useful tool in understanding the connection between their cellular and their behavioral modulatory influences. 相似文献

Interneurons of the supratrigeminal nucleus, transmitting effects from the sensory and motor branches of the trigeminal nerve to motoneurons of the muscles of mastication were investigated. Two groups of interneurons with different functional connections were found. The first group (A) contains neurons excited during stimulation of the sensory branches and the motor nerve to the digastric muscle (A1), neurons excited during stimulation of sensory branches and high-threshold afferents of the motor nerve to the masseter muscle (A2), and neurons excited only by low-threshold afferents of the motor nerve to the masseter muscle (A3). Neurons of the second group (B) were activated only by sensory fibers of the trigeminal nerve. It is postulated that interneurons of group A transmit inhibitory effects to motoneurons of antagonist muscles of the lower jaw. Group B interneurons participate in the transmission of excitatory influences to motoneurons of the digastric muscle.A. A.

Afferent connections of the nucleus lateralis posterior (NLP) of the thalamus and area 7 of the parietal cortex with the retrosplenial region of the limbic cortex and hippocampus were studied in rats with retrograde axon transport of horseradish peroxidase. It was shown that the NLP receives ipsilateral projections from area 29d neurons, while area 7 receives ipsilateral axons from area 29d and 29c neurons. It was found that associations of the retrosplenial region with associative cortex are far more pronounced than with associative thalamus. Moreover, the afferent connections of area 7 with area 29d are more numerous than with area 29c. We disclosed no projections of areas 29a and 29b to thalamoparietal system structures. In addition to neocortical input from the limbic cortex, area 7 receives afferent fibers from the archicortex; neurons situated in hippocampus area CA1 are the source of these projections.I. M.

Summary The distribution of putative GABA-ergic neurons in the photosensory pineal organ of the rainbow trout was investigated by use of a specific antiserum against -aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA-immunoreactive (GABA-IR) neurons were located in the rostral portion of the pineal end-vesicle, presumably constituting a population of interneurons. GABA-IR neurons were also found in the pineal stalk. The axons of these neurons were traced along the pineal stalk toward the brain. The terminal areas of these axons could not be established. GABA-IR glial cells were observed in the pineal end-vesicle, but not in the pineal stalk. 相似文献

The effect of diazepam on paroxysmal global electrical activity of a neuronally isolated slab of auditory cortex and on inhibitory responses of its neurons due to intracortical electrical stimulation was investigated in cats. Diazepam (2 mg/kg, intravenously) caused inhibition of paroxysmal electrical activity and increased the number of inhibited neurons in both the acutely isolated slab and three weeks after isolation, compared with the intact cortex. However, the number of disynaptic responses was reduced under these circumstances, especially in the long-isolated slab. It is postulated that diazepam exerts its action through activation of GABA-ergic inhibitory neurons, by synchronizing inhibition and increasing the duration of the IPSPs. The action of diazepam is manifested first, probably, in the initial links of cortical neuron chains.I. I. Mechnikov Odessa State University.

Summary In the fly, Calliphora erythrocephala, a cluster of three Y-shaped descending neurons (DNOVS 1–3) receives ocellar interneuron and vertical cell (VS4–9) terminals. Synaptic connections to one of them (DNOVS 1) are described. In addition, three types of small lobula plate vertical cell (sVS) and one type of contralateral horizontal neuron (Hc) terminate at DNOVS 1, as do two forms of ascending neurons derived from thoracic ganglia. A contralateral neuron, with terminals in the opposite lobula plate, arises at the DNOVS cluster and is thought to provide heterolateral interaction between the VS4–9 output of one side to the VS4–9 dendrites of the other. DNOVS 2 and 3 extend through pro-, meso-, and metathoracic ganglia, branching ipsilaterally within their tract and into the inner margin of leg motor neuropil of each ganglion. DNOVS 1 terminates as a stubby ending in the dorsal prothoracic ganglion onto the main dendritic trunks of neck muscle motor neurons. Convergence of VS and ocellar interneurons to DNOVS 1 comprises a second pathway from the visual system to the neck motor, the other being carried by motor neurons arising in the brain. Their significance for saccadic head movement and the stabilization of the retinal image is discussed. 相似文献

A statistical comparison was made of geometric characteristics (area of cross section of the soma and proximal dendrites and dcon, the diameter of the circle of equivalent area to it) of propriospinal neurons of the cat spinal cord labeled with horseradish peroxidase. The linear dimensions of these cells differed by a factor of about seven. The mean dcon of propriospinal neurons in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar divisions, whose axons reach level L6-7, was 39.9, 30.8, and 36.9 µm, respectively; direct correlation between the size of the neurons and the length of their axons was thus not observed. Characteristics of distribution of sizes of units in the cervical and thoracic divisions indicate the presence of two cell populations forming long propriospinal tracts; one consisting of a few, large neurons, concentrated in the cervical segments, the other consisting of small neurons, distributed among the cervical and thoracic segments. The mean dcon of neurons in the cervical division whose axons reach more caudal segments of the same cervical division was 44.2 µm (on account of a considerable number of large units in the ventral horn), evidence of the large relative size of the short-axon propriospinal neurons in this division of the spinal cord. Neurons located in the dorsal parts of the dorsal horn were the smallest in size, those located in the ventral horn were the largest. No significant differences were found in the dimensions of propriospinal neurons with uncrossed and crossed axons.A. A.

The effects of serotonin on the amplitude of summated EPSP in interneurons and on the duration of action potentials in sensory neurons, interneurons, and motoneurons involved in avoidance behavior were investigated in functionally distinct neurons isolated from theHelix pomatia nervous system. The duration of action potentials in sensory neurons was found to increase under the effects of serotonin (and this could underly the rise in EPSP amplitude), although that of interneuron and motoneuron spikes did not change. The functional significance of selective neuronal response to a rise in serotonin concentration is discussed, together with the mechanics underlying such effects.Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

When frog tadpoles hatch their swimming requires co-ordinated contractions of trunk muscles, driven by motoneurons and controlled
by a Central Pattern Generator (CPG). To study this co-ordination we used a 3.5 mm long population model of the young tadpole
CPG with continuous distributions of neurons and axon lengths as estimated anatomically. We found that: (1) alternating swimming-type
activity fails to self-sustain unless some excitatory interneurons have ascending axons, (2) a rostro-caudal (R-C) gradient
in the distribution of excitatory premotor interneurons with short axons is required to obtain the R-C gradient in excitation
and resulting progression of motoneuron firing necessary for forward swimming, (3) R-C delays in motoneuron firing decrease
if excitatory motoneuron to premotor interneuron synapses are present, (4) these feedback connections and the electrical synapses
between motoneurons synchronise motoneuron discharges locally, (5) the above findings are independent of the detailed membrane
properties of neurons. 相似文献

Intercortical connections of primary sensory (visual, auditory, somatosensory) areas with the parietal association cortex were studied in cats by the retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase and the Fink-Heimer silver impregnation of degenerated fibers techniques. This combined study revealed the shape, size, and intracortical location of cells connecting the primary sensory areas monosynaptically with the parietal cortex and also the distribution of preterminals and terminals of the fibers of these cells in the parietal association cortex. The greatest number of cells forming connections with area 7 of the parietal association cortex was shown to occur in visual area V1, and with area 5 in somatosensory area S1. Besides pyramidal neurons tagged with horseradish peroxidase, which were located mainly in layers II–IV, a few tagged stellate and fusiform cells also were found. The results supplement and confirm data on afferent connections of the parietal association cortex in cats.M. Gor'kii Donetsk Medical Institute.

Synaptic responses of different functional groups of interneurons in segments T10 and T11 to stimulation of the ipsilateral and contralateral medullary reticular formation were investigated in anesthetized cats with only the ipsilateral lateral funiculus remaining intact. Activation of reticulospinal fibers of the lateral funiculus with conduction velocities of 30–100 m/sec was shown to induce short-latency and, in particular, monosynptic EPSPs in all types of cells tested: in interneurons excited by group Ia muscle afferents, in cells activated only by high-threshold cutaneous and muscle afferents (afferents of the flexor reflex), in cells activated mainly by descending systems, and, to a lesser degree, in neurons connected with low-threshold cutaneous afferents. These cell populations are located mainly in the central and lateral parts of Rexed's lamina VII. Most neurons in laminae I–V of the dorsal horn, except six cells located in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn, received no reticulofugal influences. The functional organization of connections of the lateral reticulospinal tract with spinal neurons is discussed and compared with the analogous organization of the medial reticulospinal tract, and also of the "lateral" (cortico- and rubrospinal) descending systems.A.

Based on previously obtained data on structural organization and evolution of neuropil in annelids and phoronids, reconstruction of their internal apparatus has been performed. Four structural types are identified: the first—the initial, the most primitive state characteristic of neuropil of articulates (polychaetes with intraepidermal nervous system); the second—peculiar to neuropil of polychaetes in the beginning of the exit of the nervous system from epidermis; the third—the specific state of neuronal interrelations in leeches, when the internal apparatus contains no local interneurons, but is formed by intensive local arborization of associative neurons with intersegmental connections; the fourth—the initial state of the internal apparatus peculiar to Tentaculata, which is structurally incomparable with that in the primitive articulates. It has been shown that the initial state of neuronal structure of the internal apparatus of primitive polychaetes oweniids and phoronids, although has externally similar basiepidermal position, is incomparable architectonically. Therefore, at present, determination of the internal apparatus can be achieved only in general as a system of local interneurons, which provides to an extent of precision the afferent—efferent connections in neuropil and contributes to integration of these connections with the cerebropetal and cerebrofugal pathways. Complication of the internal apparatus structure in jointed Trochozoa with the ganglionic type of the nervous system has its own specific features. Four levels of its differentiation have been identified: (1) start of exit of the abdominal ganglion from epidermis (polychaetes nephthyds); (2) complete or partial exit of the nervous system form epidermis (most of polychaetes, oligochaetes); (3) replacement of local interneurons of the internal apparatus by a morphologically rearranged system of intersegmental associative neurons of the functionally similar nature (with exception of leeches, this process is typical to different extent of crustacean and arachnids); (4) intensive development of the system of local interneurons, which is peculiar to the internal apparatus of insects.Translated from Zhurnal Evolyutsionnoi Biokhimii i Fiziologii, Vol. 40, No. 6, 2004, pp. 546–555.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Lagutenko.To the 100-Anniversary of A.
