Cholinergic and GABAergic inputs drive patterned spontaneous motoneuron activity before target contact.
Patterned spontaneous electrical activity has been demonstrated in a number of developing neural circuits and has been proposed to play a role in refining connectivity once axons reach their targets. Using an isolated spinal cord preparation, we have found that chick lumbosacral motor axons exhibit highly regular bursts of activity from embryonic day 4 (E4) (stage 24-25), shortly after they exi...
متن کاملDecorrelation of cortical inputs and motoneuron output.
Oscillations in the primary motor cortex are transmitted through the corticospinal tract to the motoneuron pool. This pathway is believed to produce an effective and direct command from the motor cortex to the spinal motoneurons for the modulation of the force output. In this study, we used a computational model of a population of motoneurons to investigate the factors that can influence the tr...
متن کاملAdenosine Inhibits the Excitatory Synaptic Inputs to Basal Forebrain Cholinergic, GABAergic, and Parvalbumin Neurons in Mice
Coffee and tea contain the stimulants caffeine and theophylline. These compounds act as antagonists of adenosine receptors. Adenosine promotes sleep and its extracellular concentration rises in association with prolonged wakefulness, particularly in the basal forebrain (BF) region involved in activating the cerebral cortex. However, the effect of adenosine on identified BF neurons, especially n...
متن کاملSuppression of Oscillatory Activity Implication of GABAergic Inputs Crustacean Neurons:
Generation of rhythmic pyloric motor output in the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion results from synaptic connections and cellular properties of a 14-cell network of pyloric neurons. These cellular properties are under the influences of modulatory inputs, which act, for the most part, in an activating mode, i.e., they enhance the bursting properties of the pyloric neurons and/or their ability...
متن کاملGlycinergic and GABAergic synaptic activity differentially regulate motoneuron survival and skeletal muscle innervation.
GABAergic and glycinergic synaptic transmission is proposed to promote the maturation and refinement of the developing CNS. Here we provide morphological and functional evidence that glycinergic and GABAergic synapses control motoneuron development in a region-specific manner during programmed cell death. In gephyrin-deficient mice that lack all postsynaptic glycine receptor and some GABA(A) re...
