Megjegyzések:There is general agreement that last-order premotor interneurons-a set of neurons that integrate activities generated by the spinal motor apparatus, sensory information and volleys arising from higher motor centres, and transmit the integrated signals to motoneurons through monosynaptic contacts-play crucial roles in the initiation and maintenance of spinal motor activities. Here, we demonstrate the development, neurochemical properties, and axonal projections of a unique group of last-order premotor interneurons within the ventrolateral aspect of the lateral funiculus of the chick lumbosacral spinal cord. Neurons expressing immunoreactivity for neuron-specific enolase were first detected in the ventrolateral white matter at embryonic day 9 (E9). The numbers of immunoreactive neurons were significantly increased at E10-E12, while most of them were gradually concentrated in small segmentally arranged nuclei (referred to as major nuclei of Hofmann) protruding from the white matter in a necklace like fashion dorsal to the ventral roots. The major nuclei of Hofmann became more prominent at E12-E16, but substantial numbers of cells were still located within the ventrolateral white matter (referred to as minor nucleus of Hofmann). The distribution of immunoreactive neurons achieved by E16 was maintained during later developmental stages and was also characteristic of adult animals. After injection of Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin unilaterally into the minor nucleus of Hofmann, labeled fibres were detected in the ventrolateral white matter ipsilateral to the injection site. Ascending and descending fibres were revealed throughout the entire rostro-caudal length of the lumbosacral spinal cord. Axon terminals were predominantly found within the lateral motor column and the ventral regions of lamina VII ipsilateral to the injection site. Several axon varicosities made close appositions with somata and dendrites of motoneurons, which were identified as synaptic contacts in a consecutive electron microscopic study. With the postembedding immunogold method, 21 of 97 labeled terminals investigated were immunoreactive for glycine and 2 of them showed immunoreactivity for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The axon trajectories of neurons within the minor nucleus of Hofmann suggest that some of these cells might represent a population of last-order premotor interneurons

Megjegyzések:We have examined the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying the genesis of alternating motor activity in the developing spinal cord of the chick embryo. Experiments were performed on the isolated lumbosacral cord maintained in vitro. Intracellular and whole cell patch clamp recordings obtained from sartorius (primarily a hip flexor) and femorotibialis (a knee extensor) motoneurons showed that both classes of cell are depolarized simultaneously during each cycle of motor activity. Sartorius motoneurons generally fire two bursts/cycle, whereas femorotibialis motoneurons discharge throughout their depolarization, with peak activity between the sartorius bursts. Voltage clamp recordings revealed that inhibitory and excitatory synaptic currents are responsible for the depolarization of sartorius motoneurons, whereas femorotibialis motoneurons are activated principally by excitatory currents. Early in development, the dominant synaptic currents in rhythmically active sartorius motoneurons appear to be inhibitory so that firing is restricted to a single, brief burst at the beginning of each cycle. In E7-E13 embryos, lumbosacral motor activity could be evoked following stimulation in the brainstem, even when the brachial and cervical cord was bathed in a reduced calcium solution to block chemical synaptic transmission. These findings suggest that functional descending connections from the brainstem to the lumbar cord are present by E7, although activation of ascending axons or electrical synapses cannot be eliminated. Ablation, optical, and immunocytochemical experiments were performed to characterize the interneuronal network responsible for the synaptic activation of motoneurons. Ablation experiments were used to show that the essential interneuronal elements required for the rhythmic alternation are in the ventral part of the cord. This observation was supported by real-time Fura-2 imaging of the neuronal calcium transients accompanying motor activity, which revealed that a high proportion of rhythmically active cells are located in the ventrolateral part of the cord and that activity could begin in this region. The fluorescence transients in the majority of neurons, including motoneurons, occurred in phase with ventral root or muscle nerve activity, implying synchronized neuronal action in the rhythm generating network. Immunocytochemical experiments were performed in E14-E16 embryos to localize putative inhibitory interneurons that might be involved in the genesis or patterning of motor activity. The results revealed a pattern similar to that seen in other vertebrates with the dorsal horn containing neurons with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-like immunoreactivity and the ventral and intermediate regions containing neurons with glycine-like immunoreactivity.
