Protein content in the neurons of layers III and V in the rat brain anterior-parietal cortex and the lateral thalamic nucleus was studied 11 and 63 days after cobalt implantation. In the course of the experiment, protein content increased by 44--49% in the neurons of layer III and decreased by 24--32% in the thalamic neurons. In small and large pyramids of layer V, protein content decreased by 21--28%, 11 days after cobalt implantation, and approached normal content by the 63rd day. It was concluded that according to morpho-functional characteristic of certain neuronal types (associative, in layer III, predominantly efferent, in layer V and associative neurons in subcortical formations of the lateral thalamic nucleus) their protein changes in response to convulsive activity were different. 相似文献

The human primary somatosensory cortex consists of four cytoarchitectonic subdivisions (3a, 3b, 1 and 2) that are likely to contain distinct somatosensory representations. The intraareal organization of these areas as well as that of the primary motor cortex (area 4) has been analyzed using histochemical stains of cytochrome oxidase, acetylcholinesterase and NADPH-diaphorase activity in normal human brains. Cytochrome oxidase activity was revealed in individual cortical neurons and neuropil. Areas 4, 3a and 3b were on average darker than areas 1 and 2. The laminar distribution of cytochrome oxidase activity varied in different areas. A prominent dark band was present in layers IV and lower III in areas 3a and 3b and in layer III in areas 1, 2 and 4. Acetylcholinesterase staining revealed fibers and pyramidal cells in layers III and V; stained layer III pyramids were rare in areas 3a and 3b and numerous in areas 1, 2 and 4. NADPH-diaphorase positive elements included Golgi-like stained non-pyramidal neurons and Nissl-like stained pyramidal neurons; the former were found, in small numbers, in layer II of areas 4, 3a, 3b and 1, and the latter in layers III and V of areas 4 and 3a and in layer V of areas 1 and 2. The dark cytochrome oxidase staining of layer IV and the paucity of acetylcholinesterase positive pyramids in areas 3a and 3b resemble the pattern found in primary visual and auditory areas, whereas the dark cytochrome oxidase staining in layer III and abundance of acetylcholinesterase positive pyramids in areas 1 and 2 that of association areas. These results suggest that the four areas included in human SI constitute hierarchical stages of cortical processing, with 3a and 3b corresponding to primary and 1 and 2 to secondary areas. 相似文献

Intraocularly injected colchicine suppresses axonal transport within the developing rat's optic nerve throughout the critical period of visual system development. This results in a stunting of retinofugal terminals and relay neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus. The present study focuses upon the effects of this unique form of developmental deprivation on the maturation of the visual cortex. Colchicine, in concentrations of from 10(-5) to 10(-2) M, was injected into the eyes of albino rats at birth or at 5, 10, or 15 days of age. Litters were killed at 5 to 50 days after this single injection, and the brains were processed for Nissl, rapid Golgi, histochemical, or electron microscopic analysis. The following results were obtained: Planimetry of coronal sections of the striate cortex revealed a reduction in the thickness of the cortex and in the ratio of neuropil area to neuronal soma area contralateral to the injected eye which was confined principally to layer IV, lower layer III, and upper layer V. This effect was inversely related to postnatal age at injection and directly proportional to colchicine concentration. A rapid Golgi analysis of 51 pairs of layer V pyramidal neurons in control and experimental cortex demonstrated a reduction in the number and size of spines along the portion of the apical dendrite passing through lower layer III and IV following colchicine administration at birth or 5 or 10 days of age but no significant change in the branching pattern of the entire dendritic arbor. Electron microscopy revealed a reduction in the number of small, asymmetric synaptic complexes with the result that the average size of remaining profiles was increased in layers III and IV. Histochemical analysis of cortical succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase revealed a distinct band of intense enzyme activity in lower layers III and IV in normal cortex at 20-30 days of age. This band was significantly reduced in intensity after neonatal injection of colchicine as shown by densitometric measurements and comparison of experimental and control cortex. It is concluded that the geniculocortical projection, while not affected directly by colchicine administration, is altered by the secondary effects of axonal transport suppression, leading to an alteration in the establishment of cortical synaptic patterns and arborizations of their postsynaptic neurons whose dendrites are located in those layers recipient to this projection. 相似文献

Electron microscopic study and quantitative analysis of the visual cortex synapses in 14, 30 and 60-day-old rats were performed after bilateral enucleation of newly-forn rats. A great amount of synapses of other functional systems was shown to be functioning in the area striata in addition to the synapses formed by specific visual afferents. Alterations in the synapses of the area striata of blind rats are developing gradually, achieving the greatest pronouncement in 60-day-old rats. These changes develop according to the type of atrophic process in connection with dysfunction. The atrophic alterations of the synapses were found both in axo-somatic and axo-dendritic synapses on the dendrite trunks and on the thorns. The alterations of synapses being concentrated in layer IV. The quantitative ratio of different kinds of atrophied synapses in the cross-section of the visual cortex was different suggesting the following conclusion about the distribution of the visual afferents. In layers I and III the visual afferents formed mostly axon-thorn contacts and less amount of axo-somatic and axo-dendritic synapses on the dendrite trunks. In layer IV they mainly formed axo-somatic and axo-thorn synapses and less amount of axo-dendritic ones on the dendrite trunks. In layers V and VI they mainly contact with the dendrite trunks and with the nervous cell bodies and more rarely with thorns. 相似文献

Effect of chronic intake of alcohol and its subsequent withdrawal was studied in albino mice on the layers of neurons of the iso-cortex. Neuronal density per mm2 of section in different layers of iso-cortex was counted and compared in 3 groups of animals (control, ethanol fed and withdrawal). Qualitative changes on nissl granules of neurons and myelinated fibres were also studied. Mice fed with 10% ethanol v/v ad libitum for 6 months showed loss of nissl granules and nucleolus and discontinuity of nuclear membrane. Quantitatively, significant reduction in neuronal density (P<0.001) was observed in layers II+III IV and V neurons of iso-cortex. Withdrawal of ethanol for 2 months showed continued reduction of counts of neuronal density in layers II+III and V only whereas reversal of count was found significantly (P<0.001) in layer IV of iso-cortex. Qualitatively, only few neurons showed prominent nissl granules after withdrawal of ethanol. More afferent synaptic connection in layer IV may be suggested as probable factor helping relative replenishment of neuronal count after withdrawal of alcohol. 相似文献

The synapse architecture of the simcipital and auditory cortex of the cat (fields 7 and 22 after M. O. Gurevich and oth., 1929) was studied electron microscopically. In the both areas of the cortex there are much more axo-dendritic synapses that axo-somatic ones. In the upper layers the synapses are more often formed on small dendrites and thorns, while in layers IV-VI they often occur on the main trunks of large dendrites. The synapses on small branches and thorns of dendrites contain spherical vesicles, and the synapses on on large dendrites are formed by the terminals of two kinds-with flattened and spherical vesicles. The amount of axo-somatic synapses increases towards the lower layers of the cerebral cortes. The synapses on the soma and apical dendrites of the pyramid neurons always contain flattened vesicles; on the stellate neurons there occur perisynaptic terminals with sperical vesicles as well. 相似文献

Layer-by-layer arrangement of the commissural and associative fibers has been studied in the cat parietal cortex. The commissural fibers are distributed in all the layers of the parietal cortex in the contralateral hemisphere, except the superficial part of the I layer. These fibers mainly terminate in the III, IV layers of the contralateral parietal cortex, though their termination in other layers is not excluded. The associative fibers of the parietal cortex are distributed in all the layers of the sensomotor area, except the superficial part of the I layer. They mainly terminate in the III, IV, V layers of the primary somatosensory and in the III, V layers of the motor cortex. 相似文献

The location and morphological profile of auditory cortex neurons projecting to the medial geniculate body were investigated in adult cats using horseradish peroxidase retrograde axonal transport techniques. Sources of descending projections to the medial geniculate body from auditory cortex areas I and II were found to be neurons belonging to deep-lying layers (layer VI and layer V to a lesser extent). By far the majority of corticogeniculate neurons in the auditory cortex were pyramidal cells. In layer VI of the primary auditory area (A1), the number of corticogeniculate neurons reaches 60% of all cells belonging to that layer. The average area (M±m) of the profile of perikarya of corticogeniculate neurons in layer VI, area Al equaled 139.3±2.5 µm2 and 219.5±7.0 µm2 in layer V neurons; average size of long diameter: 15.0±0.19 and 18.3±0.4 µm respectively. The lower regions of layers III and IV in area Al were found to be the termination point of the greater mass of anterogradely-labeled geniculocortical fibers (terminals of relay neuron axons belonging to the medial geniculate body).A.

Responses of 155 neurons 3 weeks after neuronal isolation of a slab of auditory cortex (area AI) to single intracortical stimulating pulses at the level of layer IV were studied in unanesthetized, curarized cats during paroxysmal electrical activity evoked by series of high-frequency (10–20 Hz) electrical stimulation by a current 2–5 times above threshold for the direct cortical response. In response to such stimulation a discharge of paroxysmal electrical activity, lasting from a few seconds to tens of seconds, appeared in the slab. As a rule it consisted of two phases — tonic and clonic. This indicates that cortical neurons can form both phases of paroxysmal cortical activity. Depending on behavior of the neurons during paroxysmal electrical activity and preservation of their ability to respond to intracortical stimulation at this time, all cells tested in the isolated slab were divided into four groups. Their distribution layer by layer and by duration of latent periods was studied. Two-thirds of the neurons tested were shown to generate spike activity during paroxysmal discharges whereas the rest exhibited no such activity. A special role of neurons in layer II in generation of paroxysmal activity in the isolated slab was noted. The view is expressed that at each moment functional neuronal circuits, independent of each other, exist in the slab and also, evidently in the intact cortex, which can interact with one another when conditions change.I.

Interneurons of motor area in the brain cortex have been studied in cats and monkeys. The greatest attention has been paid to pyramidal interneurons, among which six cell types have been described according to their axonal composition. Unlike stellate interneurons, all types of pyramidal interneurons possess less developed axonal collaterals. Interneuronal contacts are situated on dendrites or cell bodies of middle and large long-axonal pyramids. Functional role of cortical interneurons seems to be different. Some of them are of inhibitory nature (basket cells and, perhaps, other types of long-axonal stellate neurons), others are exciting elements. The latter include short-axonal stellate neurons and, perhaps, pyramidal interneurons. While comparing the cortex in cats and monkeys, it is evident that the neocortex in monkeys, especially its lower layers, is rich in pyramidal interneurons. 相似文献

The distribution and morphology of neurons containing three calcium-binding proteins, calbindin D28K, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the adult rabbit visual cortex were studied. The calcium-binding proteins were identified using antibody immunocytochemistry. Calbindin D28K-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were located throughout the cortical layers with the highest density in layer V. However, calbindin D28K-IR neurons were rarely encountered in layer I. Calretinin-IR neurons were mainly located in layers II and III. Considerably lower densities of calretinin-IR neurons were observed in the other layers. Parvalbumin-IR neurons were predominantly located in layers III, IV, V, and VI. In layers I and II, parvalbumin-IR neurons were only rarely seen. The majority of the calbindin D28K-IR neurons were stellate, round or oval cells with multipolar dendrites. The majority of calretinin-IR neurons were vertical fusiform cells with long processes traveling perpendicularly to the pial surface. The morphology of the majority of parvalbumin-IR neurons was similar to that of calbindin D28K: stellate, round or oval with multipolar dendrites. These results indicate that these three different calcium-binding proteins are contained in specific layers and cells in the rabbit visual cortex. 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.

A correlation between the number of boutons and synchronization of electrical activity in two sites of the intact right somatosensory cortex of rats was anakyzed at different stages of axonal sprouting elicited by isolation of a cortex slab in the left cortex. Time delay between the development of epileptiform field potentials in two sites of intact cortex located at a distance of 4 mm from each other was determined as a parameter of synchronization. The analysis was carried out in 30 and 90 days after the complete isolation of the neural island in a symmetrical site of the contralateral cortex. Epileptiform activity was induced by penicillin. A significant increase in the number of boutons in the II and V layers of the intact cortex observed 90 days after the isolation of neural island in a symmetrical site of the cortex corresponded to a significant decrease in the delay of electrical activity development. Similar effects were observed in the V layer of the island 30 days after the isolation. The results suggest that the cortex lesion activates formation of new synaptic boutons in a contralateral site and increases a degree of synchronization of electrical activity, which may affect the epileptogenesis. The data suggest that pyramids of the III and, most probably, V layers form a neuronal network in the rat neocortex thus providing synchronization of epileptiform field potentials. 相似文献

By means of silver nitrate impregnation after Fink-Heimer and Golgi-Kopsch structural peculiarities have been revealed in the neurons of the ventral lateral nucleus (VL) of the cat thalamus and its connections with the motor cortex. The results of the observations demonstrate a complex morphological organization of the VL. It makes reciprocal connections with the field 4 of the motor cortex. Terminal fibers from the VL end in the layers I, III, V and VI of the field 4 gamma and in the whole thickness of the fundal field anatomically having no layers. No degenerating fibers are found after destruction in the fields 4 delta and 4 sfu. Basing on measurements of neuronal nuclei in the VL two cell populations are revealed, that demonstrates presence of two types of the neurons in the VL--large relay and small short axonal, each of them having several varieties. Complex synaptic contacts in the VL in the form of serial synapses and triads are also demonstrated. 相似文献

Pyramidal neurons stained with methylen blue (from layers III and V of the cat brain cortex) are revealed in vivo after a special preparation of the contact objectives in the reflecting light. Small pieces of the brain tissue with identified neurons were separated under visual control, after which an oriented piece placed in a special grid-basket appeared to be stabilized by the borders of the grid. This method permits investigating the same neurons after fixation by means of histological light or electron microscope techniques. 相似文献

Neuronal responses of an acutely isolated slab of auditory cortex (area AI) to intracortical electrical stimulation were studied intracellularly in cats anesthetized with pentobarbital. It was found that 77% of responses were primary IPSPs, and allowing for secondary inhibitory responses, an inhibitory response was observed in 92% of neurons. All types of neuronal responses in the slab were short-latency. The maximal response latency did not exceed 5 msec. Neurons responding to stimulation by IPSPs were found at all depths in the slab, with a maximum in layers II–III. Nearly all primary IPSPswere mono- and disynaptic. Pentobarbital increased the duration of individual neuronal inhibitory responses in the isolated slab of auditory cortex without affecting maximal duration of the IPSP. The mechanisms of the effect of pentobarbital on the amplitude and duration of IPSPs are discussed.I. I. Mechnikov Odessa State University.

Quantitative GOLGI-studies are executed about the layer V pyramidal neurons of the albino rat and the cat sensorimotor cortex. To this the length LP of the perikarya, the lenth LAD of the apical main dendrites, the spine-densities (spine-dendrite-quotients) DQ and the length NZ of the spineless ("nude") initial zone of the apical dendrites are measured in several male animals descending of the same litters. The neuronal signs are compared within the specimens of the same age. There are no statistical significant differences (level: 0,05) between these neuronal signs in all specimens of the same age and species. Relating to the examined marks of the cortical pyramids it is allowed to decline the hypothesis of variability between animals (rats or cats respectively) of the same age and sex. By this it is legal and sufficient to examine only one specimen (animal) for each stage of age in histological researches of ontogenetic series. This specimen is representative to this stage of evolution. 相似文献
