Neurons in similar locations are especially prominent in reptiles, where they form the marginal nuclei. These nuclei have been examined in snakes, and it has become apparent that the denticulate ligament is both structurally and functionally closely related to the marginal nuclei. The ligament loses collagen in a short segment of every intervertebral area, and the marginal nuclei are located only in this area. The marginal nuclei consist of a group of medium-sized neurons along the edge of the spinal cord, with a strip of neuropil separating them from the ligament; the neurons extend dendritic processes into this lateral neuropil area and give rise to long finger-like processes. In the present study, these processes were found to be longer than the ones that have been described for peripheral mechanoreceptors; they are thought to be important in sensory transduction. Closely associated with these processes were axon-like structures. They did not make any type of contact with the finger-like processes; however, an occasional synaptic-like contact, consisting of membrane specialization and a congregation of vesicles, was made with dendritic processes. The conclusion is that these finger-like processes are similar to those of peripheral mechanoreceptors, but that there is no equivalent process to the axon-like structure.</p>","PeriodicalId":77800,"journal":{"name":"Somatosensory research","volume":"4 2","pages":"127-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3109/07367228609144602","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14928370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rat pups were randomly assigned to serve as normal controls, to serve as vehicle controls, or to receive subcutaneous injections of capsaicin (50 mg/kg) on postnatal day (PND) 1, 2, 7, or 15; or an injection on PND 1, 3, and 5. When 60 days old, they were anesthetized and received 0.1-microliter thalamic injections of wheatgerm agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA:HRP) in the area of the central lateral nucleus (CL), the posterior group (PO), and the ventrobasal complex (VB), or the area of CL or VB. Following a survival time of 48 hr, the animals were perfused, and neuronal HRP reaction product was visualized with tetramethylbenzidine. The number and distribution of WGA:HRP-labeled STT neurons varied in treated animals with the time of capsaicin injection. Rats injected with capsaicin on or before PND 7 demonstrated a significant reduction of labeled STT neurons from the superficial laminae of the spinal cord. Additionally, lamina I neurons were unlabeled in animals treated before PND 7 even with large thalamic injections. Differences in the distribution of labeled STT neurons could not be demonstrated for animals injected with capsaicin on PND 7 or PND 15, though there was a decrement in the number of labeled neurons in PND 7 animals. In order to make certain that absence of labeled STT neurons was not due to some technical error or to insufficient spread of WGA:HRP at the site of injection, six injections of WGA:HRP were placed in the thalamus of PND 1 and normal adult animals. Where the dense core of reaction product did not extend caudal to the posterior commissure, WGA:HRP-positive neurons were located and distributed similarly to those cases described for large thalamic injections. Neurons in superficial laminae of the nucleus proprius and lamina I of the contralateral spinal cord were labeled where the dense core of the thalamic injection extended into the mesencephalon of PND 1 animals.

In one zone, at the junction between cytoarchitectonic areas 3b and 1, RFs straddled the dorsal midline of the trunk. In the other two zones, one located caudally in area 1 in front of the postcentral dimple, and the other rostrally in area 3b in the depth of the posterior bank of the central sulcus, RFs straddled the ventral midline of the trunk. The first one and the other two zones are referred to here as the dorsal and the ventral midline representation zones, respectively. Elsewhere in the trunk map, neurons responded only to stimulation of contralateral RFs. The callosal connectivity of the trunk map was studied by means of the transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Multiple injections of HRP in electrophysiologically identified sites of the trunk representation in one hemisphere labeled both callosal fiber terminals and callosally projecting neurons in the contralateral homotopic cortex. Dense patches of callosal neurons intensely labeled with HRP were present in the cortical regions representing the body midlines and were distributed for the most part in layer III. Some neurons lightly labeled with HRP were scattered in other zones of the trunk map. Callosal terminations were densest within the midline zones and very sparse or absent in the lateral trunk zones.

All 80 MCN neurons had peripheral receptive fields (RFs) that lay entirely on the glabrous surfaces of the forepaw and were responsive to light mechanical stimulation. Neurons were characterized according to the nature of their response to mechanical stimulation of their RFs, as well as to their response to electrical stimulation of the contralateral thalamic ventrobasal complex (VB). All antidromically activated neurons (64% of sample) were histologically verified as falling within the clusters region of the MCN, while synaptically activated neurons (19% of sample), as well as neurons not responsive to VB stimulation (17% of sample), were located in both the clusters and the polymorphic regions. Antidromically activated neurons typically responded with a single fixed-latency spike, although a few responded with a burst of 3 or more spikes. Others responded with a single antidromic spike followed by a train of synaptically activated spikes. In these latter neurons, it was often possible to block the synaptic spikes selectively. MCN neurons were classed according to their response to controlled mechanical stimuli as rapidly adapting (RA), slowly adapting (SA), or Pacinian (Pc). The proportions of neurons falling into these categories did not vary significantly with the type of response to thalamic stimulation, and the overall percentages were 56% RA, 24% SA, and 20% Pc. These figures are very similar to those previously obtained in a sample of primary afferent fibers of the raccoon cervical cuneate fasciculus (L. M. Pubols and Pubols, 1973).

Knowing this value, we could then calculate the rate of loss of axotomized neurons from the overall rate of neuron loss in the DRGs at different times after the lesion. Following unilateral sciatic neurectomy, we found a steady falloff in the ratio of DRG neurons on the operated versus the intact control sides in cresyl-violet-stained serial paraffin sections.

Counts done on a series of unoperated rats of various ages confirmed this natural increase. Overall, new neurons accrete at an average rate of 18.1 cells per day to the combined L4 and L5 DRGs, nearly doubling their numbers during the adult life of the animal. The new cells add mostly to the small-diameter neuronal compartment. Evidence from neonatally operated rats indicates that the decline in the ratio of neurons in operated versus control DRGs following sciatic nerve section in the adult results more from a halt in the accretion of new neurons to the sciatic compartment than from frank cell death.

In five adult albino rats, various amounts of WGA:HRP at different concentrations were bilaterally injected in the dorsal column nuclei (DCN). In one additional animal, WGA:HRP was injected in one side, whereas free HRP was injected in the contralateral DCN. In another five rats, WGA:HRP was injected in the first somatosensory cortex (SI). The postinjection survival time of the animals ranged from 30 to 48 hr. The histochemical visualization of the enzyme was performed using either paraphenylenediamine-pyrocatechol (PPD-PC) or tetraethylbenzidine (TMB) as chromogens on adjacent horizontal serial sections. All the reacted samples were studied at the light-microscopic level, and sections from four animals were processed for the ultrastructural investigation. After DCN injections, a massive anterograde labeling was always observed in nucleus ventralis posterolateralis (VPL) of the thalamus, where also labeled neurons and glial cells were detected at both the light- and the electron-microscopic levels. Labeled neurons and terminals in the lateral border of nucleus reticularis (Re) of the thalamus were also observed after either DCN or SI injection of WGA:HRP. Our results show that WGA:HRP is effectively transported not only anterogradely and retrogradely through the somatosensory system of the rat, but also transneuronally. The transneuronal transfer of the tracer seems to be mainly related to the postlabeling survival time of the animal, and it does not occur when free HRP is injected. In controlled experimental conditions, WGA:HRP can therefore be useful for tracing secondary projections. Moreover, in the present report, the existence of a mediolateral arrangement of the projections of the somatosensory-related area of Re toward VPL is directly demonstrated.
