Cím:Neurons in the lateral part of the lumbar spinal cord show distinct novel axon trajectories and are excited by short propriospinal ascending inputs / Zs. Antal, L. L. Luz, B. V. Safronov, M. Antal, P. Szűcs

Megjegyzések:The role of spinal dorsal horn propriospinal connections in nociceptive processing isnot yet established. Recently described, rostrocaudally oriented axon collaterals oflamina I projection and local-circuit neurons (PNs and LCNs) running in thedorsolateral funiculus (DLF) may serve as the anatomical substrate for intersegmentalprocessing. Putative targets of these axons include lateral dendrites of superficialdorsal horn neurons, including PNs, and also neurons in the lateral spinal nucleus(LSN) that are thought to be important integrator units receiving, among others,visceral sensory information. Here we used an intact spinal cord preparation to studyintersegmental connections within the lateral part of the superficial dorsal horn. Wedetected brief monosynaptic and prolonged polysynaptic excitation of lamina I and LSNneurons when stimulating individual dorsal horn neurons located caudally, even inneighbouring spinal cord segments. These connections, however, were infrequent. Wealso revealed that some projection neurons outside the dorsal grey matter and in theLSN have distinct, previously undescribed course of their projection axon. Our findingsindicate that axon collaterals of lamina I PNs and LCNs in the DLF rarely formfunctional connections with other lamina I and LSN neurons and that the majority oftheir targets are on other elements of the dorsal horn. The unique axon trajectories ofneurons in the dorsolateral aspect of the spinal cord, including the LSN do not fit ourpresent understanding of midline axon guidance and suggest that their function anddevelopment differ from the neurons inside lamina I. These findings emphasize theimportance of understanding the connectivity matrix of the superficial dorsal horn inorder to decipher spinal sensory information processing.

Cím:Axon diversity of lamina I local-circuit neurons in the lumbar spinal / Szucs Peter, Luz Liliana, Pinho Raquel, Aguiar Paulo, Antal Zsofia, Tiong Sheena, Todd Andrew J., Safronov Boris
Dátum:2013
Megjegyzések:Spinal lamina I is a key area for relaying and integrating information from nociceptive primary afferents with various other sources of inputs. While lamina I projection neurons have been intensively studied, much less attention has been given to local-circuit neurons (LCNs), which form the majority of the lamina I neuronal population. In this work the infrared light-emitting diode (IR-LED) oblique illumination technique was used to visualize and label LCNs, allowing reconstruction and analysis of their dendritic and extensive axonal trees. We show that the majority of lamina I neurons with locally branching axons fall into the multipolar (with ventrally protruding dendrites) and flattened (dendrites limited to lamina I) somatodendritic categories. Analysis of their axons revealed that the initial myelinated part gives rise to several unmyelinated small-diameter branches that have a high number of densely packed large varicosities and an extensive rostrocaudal (2-3 segments), mediolateral and dorsoventral (reaching laminae III-IV) distribution. The extent of the axon and the occasional presence of long solitary branches suggest that LCNs may also form short and long propriospinal connections. We also found that the distribution of axon varicosities and terminal field locations show substantial heterogeneity and that a substantial portion of LCNs is inhibitory. Our observations indicate that LCNs of lamina I form intersegmental as well as interlaminar connections and may govern large numbers of neurons, providing anatomical substrate for rostrocaudal "processing units" in the dorsal horn.
