Projections of different parts of the orbito-frontal cortex, the basal temporal cortex, and the hippocampus on hypothalamic nuclei were studied by recording focal responses in acute experiments on cats anesthetized with pentobarbital and chloralose. The proreal gyrus was shown to have local projections in the latero-dorsal zones of the preoptic region, in the rostral parts of the medial forebrain bundle, and also in the region of the lateral and posterior hypothalamus with the mammillary bodies. The orbital gyrus projects mainly to the latero-dorsal portions of the forebrain bundle, the latero-ventral part of the preoptic region, and the region of the lateral and latero-dorsal hypothalamic nuclei; projections from the orbital gyrus are relatively diffuse in character. The basal temporal cortex has diffuse projections in the central part of the preoptic region, in the latero-ventral parts of the medial forebrain bundle, and in the lateral mammillary body. No marked foci of activity were found in the hypothalamic structures during hippocampal stimulation. Diffuse projections of the hippocampus were traced in the ventral part of the preoptic region and the ventral regions of the medial forebrain bundle, and also in the lateral hypothalamus and in the lateral mammillary nucleus.A.

Injection of horseradish peroxidase into the basal macrocellular and lateral nuclei of the amygdaloid complex (BLAC) in the cat brain has revealed their rich thalamic afferentation. On the BLAC there are massive projections of: a) nuclei of the middle line of the precommissural pole of the dorsal thalamus (anterior parts of the paratenial, interanteromedial and reunial nuclei), as well as the whole anterior paraventricular nucleus, medial part of the ventral posteromedial nucleus; b) postcommissural nuclei of the dorsal thalamus; some "nonacustical" nuclei of the internal geniculate body (ventrolateral nucleus, medial and macrocellular parts and the most caudal end of the internal geniculate body). Rather essential are projections of the "posterior group nuclei", those of the suprageniculate nucleus, of some parts of the ventral thalamus (subparafascicular nucleus, marginal and peripeduncular nuclei) and parabrachial nucleus. Scattered single projections are obtained from all hypothalamic parts (most of all the ventromedial nucleus), reticular nuclei of the septum, substantia innominata, substantia nigra, truncal nuclei of the raphe. Variety of the dorsal thalamic nuclei, sending their fibers to the BLAC reflects variety of sensory information, that gets here, according to its modality, degree of its differentiation and integrity. A number of the dorsal thalamus nuclei, owing to abundance of labelled neurons, can be considered as special relay thalamic nuclei for the BLAC resembling corresponding relay nuclei for the new cortex.  相似文献

By means of impregnation methods of Fink-Heimer and Kawamura-Niimi in 29 cats after unilateral extirpation of various parts of the orbitofrontal cortex (middle part, superior and inferior areas of the dorsolateral part of the proreal gyrus, anterior area of the orbital gyrus) connections with various groups of the thalamic nuclei have been studied. Essential differences have been revealed in projections of various parts of the orbitofrontal cortex to specific, nonspecific, associative and limbic nuclei of the thalamus. The most distributed system of the subcortical projections has the orbital gyrus cortex. Connections of the cortex in the superior and inferior areas of the dorsolateral part of the proreal gyrus are well manifested, the connections of the superior area being less prevalent than the inferior ones. The cortex of the medial part in the proreal gyrus has connections mainly with the subcortical limbic formations. Thus, the orbitofrontal cortex in the cat possesses a system of topographically organized, to some extent selective monosinaptic connections practically with all nuclear groups of the thalamus and influences upon the function of the most of the important subcortical structures.  相似文献

The mammillary projections to the anterior thalamic nuclei were investigated in the rat, using the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. Pars centralis of the medial mammillary nucleus projects to the medial portion of the ateromedial nucleus (AM). Pars medialis (Mm) of the medial mammillary nucleus sends fibers to the ipsilateral AM and sparsely to the medial portion of the contralateral side. The ventral and dorsal portions of Mm project to the anterior and posterior portions of AM, respectively. The pars latralis (Ml) and pars posterior (Mp) of the medial mammillary nucleus send fibers predominantly to the ipsilateral anteroventral nucleus and sparsely to the contralateral side. A slight difference between Ml and Mp projections was observed. The lateral mammillary nucleus projects bilaterally to the anterodorsal nucleus.  相似文献

Projections of the central cerebellar nuclei to the intralaminar thalamic nuclei were studied in cats with the use of light and electron microscopy. Almost all intralaminar nuclei were shown to obtain cerebello-thalamic projections. The entire complex of the central cerebellar nuclei serves as a source of such projections; yet, involvement of different nuclei is dissimilar. Destruction of the central and, especially, caudal regions of the fastigial nucleus evoked in the intralaminar thalamic nuclei degenerative changes in the nerve fibers (from swelling and development of varicosities up to total fragmentation). Pathological phenomena could be noticed in the most caudal regions of the above thalamic nuclear group, including the medial dorsal nucleus. Projections of the cerebellar interpositus nucleus were directed toward nearly the same regions of the intralaminar nuclei; degeneration was more intensive (covered thecentrum medianum) when posterior regions of the interpositus nucleus were destroyed. Destruction of the lateral cerebellar nucleus evoked a similar pattern of pathological changes, but degeneration was also observed in some structures of the ventral and anterior nuclear groups of the thalamus. Electron microscopic examination showed that degeneration of dark and light types developed in the fiber preterminals and terminals. It can be concluded that the central cerebellar nuclei project not only to the ventral complex of the thalamic nuclei, but also to the anterior, medial, and intralaminar nuclear groups (rostral and caudal portions).  相似文献

Connections between the anterior thalamic and habenular nuclei were investigated in the lizard by administering horseradish peroxidase to these nuclei. They were shown to have overlapping locations of afferent sources, namely basotelencephalic structures, nuclei of anterior and hippocampal commissures, preoptic and lateral hypothalamic area, and superior raphe nucleus, as well as common projection zones, viz: the mamillary complex and the ventral tegmental area. Specific connections confined to individual nuclei were discovered, apart from those common to the nuclei: A reciprocal connection with the dorsolateral hypothalamic nucleus (for the anterior dorsolateral nucleus), a projection to the interpeduncular nucleus (for the habenular nucleus), and to the dorsal hypothalamic area (for the dorsomedial nucleus). No sources of afferent pathways to the anterior thalamic nuclei were found in the mamillary complex. All the thalamic nuclei studied, togetherwith their connections, are considered diencephalic relay links in pathways comparable with the dorsal (in the case of the habenular nuclei) and the ventral (with respect to the anterior thalamic nuclei) pathways of the mammalian limbic system.I.

EPs recording under Nembutal anaesthesia during stimulation of the medial section of the horizontal part of the diagonal band nucleus (HNDB) shows a wide spreading of HNDB afferentation over the neocortex: from the frontal area to the medial and some posterior parts of the auditory, parietal areas and Ep zone, with the least activation of the latter three regions and activation increasing intensity correspondingly in the somatic zones II, I (SII, SI), motor and frontal cortex. Such reduction of signals flow intensity oriented both in caudal and ventral directions of the cortex goes with foci of maximal activity of these signals in the motor, parietal areas and zones of representation of various body parts in SI and SII. Traits of similarity and differences of signal's projections in the neocortex from HNDB and thalamic relay nuclei have been revealed. A hypothesis is substantiated on different mechanisms underlying peculiarities of influences of these subcortical nuclei on the cortex depending on the type of their afferent-neuronal links in the latter and their functional role in the brain activity.  相似文献

Adult cats received tritiated proline-leucine injections into the pericruciate cortex (areas 4 gamma and 3a) unilaterally and the projections to the thalamus were analyzed. Ipsilateral projections were found in the following nuclei, from rostral to caudal: ventral anterior, reticular, ventral lateral, central medial, paracentral, central lateral, ventral medial, mediodorsal, ventral posterolateral, ventral posteroinferior, centre median, parafascicular and posterior complex. In the contralateral hemithalamus sparse projections were found within the paracentral, central lateral and ventral medial nuclei.  相似文献

Responses of 98 neurons of the reticular (R) and 72 neurons of the ventral anterior (VA) thalamic nuclei to stimulation of various zones of the orbitofrontal cortex were investigated in acute experiments on cats immobilized with D-tubocurarine. Not all zones of this cortex were found to be connected equally closely with R and VA. Most of the R (82.7%) and VA (66.7%) neurons responded to stimulation of the proreal gyrus, and fewest (37.3 and 48.9%, respectively) to stimulation of the posterior orbital gyrus. Among the responding neurons, 85.2–86.3% of R cells and 78.2–81.2% of VA cells were excited by cortical stimulation and the rest were inhibited. Excitation was expressed as the appearance of a single spike or of discharges of varied duration in response to each stimulus. The latent period of the spike responses varied from 0.5 to 55.0 msec and the minimal latent period of the discharges was 0.8 msec and its maximal value over 500 msec. The spike frequency in the discharge was 120–250/sec. Unit responses consisting of spikes with a latent period of under 1.3 msec and, it is assumed, some of the responses with a latent period of under 4.0 msec were antidromic. The axons of some R and VA neurons were shown to form branches terminating in different zones of the orbitofrontal cortex.  相似文献

Efferent connections of medial (nucleus cuneiformis) and lateral regions of the midbrain reticular formation (MRF) were investigated using an anterograde autoradiographic technique in cats. Efferent fibers from the MRF ascend to the globus pallidus, substantia innominata, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and nonspecific associative and relay nuclei of the thalamus. Descending pathways to the conclusion that the cuneiform nucleus is more of a nonspecific structure than an association auditory center. The lateral reticular region had numerous projections to the lateral geniculate body and, together with the parabigeminal nucleus, forms the midbrain visual complex.I. P.

The distribution in the thalamus of terminal projections from lamina I neurons of the trigeminal, cervical, and lumbosacral dorsal horn was investigated with the anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) in the cat. Iontophoretic injections were guided by single- and multi-unit physiological recordings. The injections in particular cases were essentially restricted to lamina I, whereas in others they spread across laminae I-III or laminae I-V. The trigemino- and spinothalamic (TSTT) terminations were identified immunohistochemically. In all cases, regardless of the level of the injections, terminal fibers were consistently distributed in three main locations: the submedial nucleus; the ventral aspect of the basal ventral medial nucleus and ventral posterior nuclei; and, the dorsomedial aspect of the ventral posterior medial nucleus. The terminal fields in the submedial nucleus and the ventral aspect of the ventral posterior group were topographically organized. Terminations along the ventral aspect of the ventral posterior group extended posterolaterally into the caudal part of the posterior nucleus and anteromedially into the ventromedial part of the ventral lateral nucleus. In several cases with trigeminal lamina I injections, a terminal labeling patch was observed within the core of the ventral posterior medial nucleus. In cases with spinal lamina I injections, terminations were also consistently found in the lateral habenula, the parafascicular nucleus, and the nucleus reuniens. Isolated terminal fibers were occasionally seen in the zona incerta, the dorsomedial hypothalamus, and other locations. These anatomical observations extend prior studies of TSTT projections and identify lamina I projection targets that are important for nociceptive, thermoreceptive, and homeostatic processing in the cat. The findings are consistent with evidence from physiological (single-unit and antidromic mapping) and behavioral studies. The novel identification of spinal lamina I input to the lateral habenula could be significant for homeostatic behaviors.  相似文献

In acute experiments on cats anesthetized with pentobarbital and chloralose, single-unit and focal responses of the medial group of thalamic nuclei (mediodorsal, central lateral, paracentral, central medianum, parafascicular) were studied to stimulation of the frontobasal regions of the cortex (proreal, posterior orbital, basal temporal regions). Depending on the number of neurons responding to cortical stimulation and on the length of the latent period of the responses three functionally heterogeneous subdividions of the medial nuclei were distinguished; the parvocellular and magnocellular portions of the mediodorsal nucleus and the intralaminar nuclei with the parafascicular complex. On the basis of responses of neurons activated antidromically by stimulation of the same cortical region and synaptically by stimulation of another region, the concept of the integrative function of nuclei of the medial group, integrating the frontobasal zones of the neocortex with the aid of neuron circuits in which the medial nuclei are included, is argued.M.

In order to understand better the organisation of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus of the ventral thalamus, this paper has examined the patterns of connections that this nucleus has with various nuclei of the dorsal thalamus in rats. Injections of biotinylated dextran or cholera toxin subunit B were made into the parafascicular, central lateral, posterior thalamic, medial dorsal, lateral dorsal, lateral posterior, dorsal lateral geniculate, anterior, ventral lateral, ventrobasal and medial geniculate nuclei of Sprague-Dawley rats and their brains were processed using standard tracer detection methods. Three general patterns of ventral lateral geniculate connectivity were seen. First, the parafascicular, central lateral, medial dorsal, posterior thalamic and lateral dorsal nuclei had heavy connections with the parvocellular (internal) lamina of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. This geniculate lamina has been shown previously to receive heavy inputs from many functionally diverse brainstem nuclei. Second, the visually related dorsal lateral geniculate and lateral posterior nuclei had heavy connections with the magnocellular (external) lamina of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. This geniculate lamina has been shown by previous studies to receive heavy inputs from the visual cortex and the retina. Finally, the anterior, ventral lateral, ventrobasal and medial geniculate nuclei had very sparse, if any, connections with the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. Overall, our results strengthen the notion that one can package the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus into distinct visual (magnocellular) and non-visual (parvocellular) components.  相似文献

Striatal projections from the lateral intermediate (LI) and posterior (Po) thalamic complexes were studied with the anterograde tracers wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase and Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin. Projections to the lateral part of the head and body of the caudate nucleus (CN) and to the putamen (Pu) were found to arise from the ventral parts of the caudal subdivision of the LI besides the well established sources in the intralaminar and ventral thalamic nuclei. No projections to the CN and only a few to the Pu were found to arise from the medial division of the Po. The presence of terminal and intercalated varicosities in the thalamostriatal fibers suggests that they form both terminal and en passant synapses. Thalamostriatal fibers from these thalamic sectors were unevenly distributed within the CN, with patches of either low-density innervation or with no projections at all interspersed within irregular, more densely innervated areas. The former coincided with the acetylcholinesterase-poor striosomes and the latter areas of dense projection with the extrastriosomal matrix.  相似文献

The organization of the projection from the pretectal region to the inferior olive in the cat was studied with autoradiographic and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) methods. After injections of HRP into the olive in six cats, cells were labeled ipsilaterally in the anterior pretectal nucleus (NPA), the posterior pretectal nucleus (NPP), the nucleus of the optic tract (NOT), and the dorsal terminal nucleus of the accessory optic tract (DTN). In three experiments, tritiated amino acids were injected into those parts of the pretectal region which contained labeled cells in the HRP experiments, and the projections to the olive were plotted. Both NPA and NPP projected to the rostral half of the dorsal accessory olive, the rostromedial margin of the ventral lamella, and the lateral part of the ventrolateral outgrowth. NOT projected to the caudal half of the dorsal cap, while DTN projected to both the dorsal cap and nucleus beta. The projections are entirely ipsilateral.  相似文献

Neurons sending fibers to different loci of the suprasylvian gyrus (SSG) of the porpoise(Phocaena phocaena) cortex were located in the thalamus by retrograde horseradish peroxidase transport and fluorescent tracing techniques. Horseradish peroxidase injection into the anterior section of the suprasylvian gyrus led to retrograde labelling of neurons in the lateral portion of the ventrobasal complex of nuclei and the ventroposteroinferior nucleus. A group of labelled cells was found in the ventral section of the main medial geniculate nucleus. Injecting bisbenzimide into different loci of the medial suprasylvian gyrus also led to retrograde labelling of neurons belonging to the ventral division of the main medial geniculate nucleus. Somewhat lower numbers of labelled cells were found in the inferior nucleus of the pulvinar. Small groups of labelled neurons were also found in the lateral nucleus of the pulvinar, the medioventral nucleus of the medial geniculate body, and the posterior complex of nuclei. A similar distribution of labelled cells was also observed after injecting bisbenzimide into the more caudal portion of the gyrus, although the location of labelled cells in the ventral division of the main medial geniculate nucleus and the lower pulvinar nucleus were shifted in a lateral direction.A.

Microiontophoretic local injection of horseradish peroxidase (HP) have been performed into the median center (MC). Many thalamic nuclei are sources of projections into MC, though the role of each nucleus is not equivalent. MC is predominantly connected with nonspecific formations (reticular, parafascicular, central-lateral, paracentral, ventromedial, paraventricular). Among them the reticular nucleus is distinguished, it sends its efferent fibers from the ventral, ventrolateral and lateral areas. In the anterior part of the reticular nucleus there are no HP-labelled cells. In MC little projections from specific nuclei (ventrobasal complex, ventrolateral nucleus, geniculate body) are presented, as well as simple projections from the associative nuclei. The data obtained are in keeping with electron physiological investigations.  相似文献

Unit responses of the nuclei pontis (NP) and reticular pontine nuclei (RPN) to stimulation of the frontobasal cortex (proreal, orbital, and basal temporal regions) and of the dorsal hippocampus were studied in cats. Stimulation of the various cortical structures was found to induce phasic and (less frequently) tonic responses in neurons of NP and RPN. The main type of unit response in RPN was primary excitation, whereas in NP it was primary inhibition. The largest number of responding neurons in the pontine nuclei was observed to stimulation of the proreal gyrus. In the cerebro-cerebellar relay system neurons of the reticular tegmental nucleus and ventromedial portion of NP showed the highest ability to respond. In the oral and caudal reticular pontine nuclei the regions of predominant influence of cortical structures were located in zones of these nuclei where neurons with rostral and (to a lesser degree) caudal projections were situated.M.

Peculiarities on axonal distribution and termination of the retinal ganglionar cells within the limits of the thalamic pulvinar nuclei have been studied in 10 cats by means of the radioautography method combined with silver nitrate impregnation (Fink--Heimer technique). The ganglionar cells have projections on two pulvinar nuclei -- the lateral and the inferior. The medial pulvinar nucleus has no similar connections. The retinal projections in the pulvinar nuclear complex are bilateral and nearly symmetrical, the contralateral projections of the pathway somewhat predominate.  相似文献
