Physiological Characterization of Vestibular Efferent Brainstem Neurons Using a Transgenic Mouse Model
The functional role of efferent innervation of the vestibular end-organs in the inner ear remains elusive. This study provides the first physiological characterization of the cholinergic vestibular efferent (VE) neurons in the brainstem by utilizing a transgenic mouse model, expressing eGFP under a choline-acetyltransferase (ChAT)-locus spanning promoter in combination with targeted patch clamp...
متن کاملEfferent neurons and vestibular cross talk in the frog.
A galvanic stimulus (30- to 120-s, 0.3-mA constant current pulse) was used to depolarize the spike-generating region of horizontal and anterior canal afferent neurons. The galvanically induced spike activity from these neurons served as a driving input to the efferent vestibular system in the bullfrog. Efferent-mediated effects were assessed by intracellular recordings of posterior canal affere...
متن کاملThe distribution of vestibular efferent neurons receiving innervation of secondary vestibular afferent nerves in rats.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To explore the innervation areas of the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) afferent neurons onto vestibular efferent neurons in the brain stem of rats. STUDY DESIGN A morphology study in the central vestibular system. METHODS Two neuronal tracers were used. Lectin PHA-L Conjugates (PHA-L, Invitrogen L - 11270,) was injected into the MVN as an anterograde tracer, and 5% Fl...
متن کاملInduction of c-Jun immunoreactivity in spinal cord and brainstem neurons in a transgenic mouse model for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Transgenic mice carrying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-linked superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutations develop a motoneuron disease resembling human ALS. c-Jun is a transcription factor frequently induced in injured neurons. In this study we have examined the distribution of c-Jun-immunoreactivity in the brainstem and spinal cord of transgenic SOD1 mice with a glycine 93 alanine (G93A) mut...
