Recurrent inhibition of cat phrenic motoneurons.
These experiments were performed to re-examine the presence of a recurrent inhibitory pathway to phrenic motoneurons in cats. Following intracellular staining of 49 phrenic motoneurons with horseradish peroxidase, initial axon collaterals were demonstrated in six axons (12%). Intracellular recording and averaging of the synaptic responses evoked by stimulation of the phrenic roots with an inten...
متن کاملElectrophysiological properties of rat phrenic motoneurons during perinatal development.
Past studies determined that there is a critical period at approximately embryonic day (E)17 during which phrenic motoneurons (PMNs) undergo a number of pivotal developmental events, including the inception of functional recruitment via synaptic drive from medullary respiratory centers, contact with spinal afferent terminals, the completion of diaphragm innervation, and a major transformation o...
متن کاملTowards a comprehensive understanding of the trophic support of motoneurons.
Motoneurons played an essential role in establishing the concept of target-mediated support of innervating neurons. However, it took several decades until molecules were identified which trophically support motoneurons in vitro and in vivo. The most potent molecule identified so far is ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). It is expressed as a cytosolic molecule in myelinating Schwann cells rathe...
متن کاملSerotonin immunoreactive boutons make synapses with feline phrenic motoneurons.
In anesthetized cats, phrenic motoneurons were intracellularly labeled with HRP. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize serotonin-like immunoreactivity that was present in numerous boutons and nerve fibers within the ventral horn of the C5 spinal segment. Immunoreactive boutons were frequently found in apposition to phrenic motoneurons, but these close contacts were more common on the dendri...
متن کاملCardiotrophin-like cytokine/cytokine-like factor 1 is an essential trophic factor for lumbar and facial motoneurons in vivo.
The ciliary neurotrophic factor alpha-receptor (CNTFRalpha) is required for motoneuron survival during development, but the relevant ligand(s) has not been determined. One candidate is the heterodimer formed by cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CLC) and cytokine-like factor 1 (CLF). CLC/CLF binds to CNTFRalpha and enhances the survival of developing motoneurons in vitro; whether this novel trophic f...
