Though a number of studies have reported the presence of synapses on neurons in the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus (Vmes), there have been no quantitative studies of either the density of innervation, or the ultrastructure, of the synapses on single, physiologically identified neurons in this nucleus. In this study we recorded from single neurons in the Vmes, identified them as being either muscle spindle afferents (MS) or periodontal ligament mechanoreceptor afferents (PL), and then labeled the neurons by intra-axonal injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The material was first processed to reveal the HRP activity, following which ultrathin sections through the labeled somata were cut and examined under the electron microscope. Complete serial reconstructions were made through the soma of one MS neuron and one PL neuron, and the contacts on the neurons reconstructed. Boutons were found on the soma, spines, appendages and the axon hillock and the initial segment of the axon. The numbers of boutons terminating on the two neurons were 198 (PL) and 424 (MS), giving a packing density of 4.4 and 10.7 boutons respectively (i.e., number of boutons/100 micron 2 of the postsynaptic membrane). Boutons could be separated into two types on the basis of their vesicles: those containing clear, round vesicles (i.e., S-type) and those containing a mixture of round, oval and flattened vesicles (P-type). Ninety-five (PL neuron) and 99% (MS neuron) of terminals on the two neurons were P-type. All the S-type boutons and 80% of the P-type boutons formed asymmetric synaptic contacts while 10% of the P-type boutons made symmetric contacts. Quantitative measurements of the P-type boutons on the labeled neurons, in which the data of MS and PL neurons were pooled, revealed that bouton volume was highly correlated with bouton surface area, active zone number, total active zone area, vesicle number, and mitochondrial volume. However, comparing the quantitative measurements of the P-type boutons with those of previously reported vibrissa afferent terminals and their associated axon terminals revealed that all the parameters were smaller for the P-type boutons (on Vmes neurons) than those of the vibrissa afferent terminals but similar to those of axon terminals presynaptic to the vibrissa afferents. Taken together, our results emphasize the wide scope for synaptic interactions in the Vmes and suggest that it may be more fruitful to view the Vmes as an integrating center.  相似文献

The fine structure of the periaqueductal gray (PAG) of the rabbit was examined using the transmission electron microscope. On the basis of synaptic polarity, vesicle size, and the nature of the pre- and postsynaptic elements, 10 essentially different synaptic types could be discerned (6 axo-dendritic, 2 axo-somatic, 1 axo-axonic, and 1 dendro-dendritic). Synaptic contact on the soma of PAG neurons were small and covered, on average, only 1.6% of the soma surface. The most striking feature of the synaptic structure of the PAG was that more than 94.1% of all synapses were axo-dendritic. Of these, 83.5% were of the symmetrical type. Most of these contacts occurred on buttons of small to medium size, and contained either round vesicles of medium size or pleomorphic vesicles of medium size. Boutons containing only flattened vesicles were quite rare. Boutons contacting larger dendrites were generally small-to-medium in size, made asymmetric-type synaptic contacts, and contained pleomorphic vesicles of medium-to-large size. Medium-sized dendrites were contacted principally by small boutons exhibiting either symmetrical or asymmetrical junctions containing medium-sized pleomorphic vesicles, and in addition a few of these boutons contained both large, and small, round vesicles. Dendritic spines were generally provided with only one synaptic contact, stretching the entire width of the spinous process. Boutons and the spines on dendrites were approximately the same size. Synapses between two vesicle-containing structures (axo-axonic or dendro-dendritic synapses) were rare (1.4%). They were generally asymmetric and contained round vesicles of medium size. Complex synapses, where a glial sheet enclosed the synapse, were occasionally observed. Also seen were multiple synapses, with up to 11 contacts on a single dendritic profile. Large dense-core vesicle were seen in approximately 40% of all synapses, whereas small dense-core vesicles were only found in about 3%. Data is provided on how different synaptic features relate to ventral, lateral, dorsal, and medial PAG. Principally this is in relation to neuron size, glia cell content, axonal characterization, and vesicular type. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The medullary relay nucleus of the mormyrid weakly electric fish Gnathonemus petersii is a stage in the command pathway for the electric organ discharge. It receives input from the presumed command or pacemaker nucleus and projects to the electromotoneurons in the spinal cord. Its fine structure and synaptology were investigated by electron microscopy. The origin of the terminals contacting the cell membrane of the neurons of this nucleus was determined by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injections into different brain structures, namely into the bulbar command- and mesencephalic command-associated nuclei. Twenty-five to thirty large cells of about 45 micron in diameter constitute the medullary electromotor relay. Each cell has a kidney-shaped, lobulated nucleus, a large myelinated axon with a short initial segment and several long, richly arborizing primary dendrites. Many, if not all, cells are interconnected with large somatosomatic or dendrosomatic, dendrodendritic and dendroaxonic gap junctions. These junctions often occur in serial or triadic arrangements. The relay cells receive large club endings as well as small boutons. The club endings are found mainly on the soma and primary dendrites and are morphologically mixed synapses. The boutons are characterized by synapses which are only chemical and are distributed all over the cell membrane, but with a definitely higher frequency on secondary dendrites and more distal parts of dendritic processes. Horseradish peroxidase injections into the mesencephalic command-associated nucleus reveal a large number of labelled boutons on the secondary dendrites of the relay cells. Injections into the bulbar command-associated nucleus label the same type of boutons as mesencephalic injections, but also label club endings on relay cell soma and primary dendrites. The results support the conclusion made on the basis of previous light microscopical observations that boutons originate from the bulbar command-associated nucleus, whereas the club endings issue from the presumed pacemaker nucleus (nucleus c). The club endings of the bifurcating axons of this nucleus are labelled by retro- and anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase; the bifurcating axons project simultaneously to the bulbar command-associated nucleus and the medullary relay nucleus.  相似文献

Summary This study describes the fine structure of input synapses on identified neurons in slices of the guinea pig hippocampus. For morphological identification, granule cells of the fascia dentata and pyramidal neurons of regio inferior of the hippocampus were impaled and intracellularly stained with horse-radish peroxidase (HRP). Input synapses on the HRP-stained neurons were identified in the electron microscope by the location of the synapses in inner or outer zones of the dentate molecular layer, as in the case of the synaptic contacts on injected granule cells, or by unique fine structural characteristics, as in the case of the giant mossy fiber boutons on CA3 pyramidal cells. As in tissue fixed in situ by transcardial perfusion, a large number of terminals arising from the different afferents in inner and outer zones of the dentate molecular layer were well preserved and formed synaptic contacts with small spines, large complex spines, and dendritic shafts of the HRP-filled granule cells. Mossy fiber synapses on the stained CA3 neurons were densely filled with clear vesicles, contained a few dense-core vesicles, and formed synaptic contacts with large spines or excrescences. Occasionally electrondense degenerating boutons were also found impinging on the stained dendrites and spines. The significance of the present findings for electrophysiological and pharmacological studies on brain slices is discussed.  相似文献

Summary The ultrastructure of the hippocampal mossy fibre layer was studied in ultrathin sections and freeze-fracture preparations of rabbits under deep Nembutal anaesthesia, after recovery from ether anaesthesia, and 40 min after a single injection of methoxypyridoxine, that is, during the second generalized seizure discharge. The giant mossy fibre boutons contain two types of vesicles: evenly distributed, small round clear vesicles (50 nm) and a few scattered large dense-core vesicles (100 nm). In rare instances fusion of dense-core vesicles with the presynaptic membrane was observed. No differences in the morphology of the mossy fibre synapses were found between anaesthetized and unanaesthetized animals. During epileptiform seizures, however, the size and shape of clear and dense-core vesicles varied greatly. The active synaptic zones were covered with large, core-containing omega profiles or bumps and indentations. Only dense-core vesicles seem to undergo exocytosis. A fusion of clear vesicles with the presynaptic membrane was not observed.Various explanations for the fact that only dense-core vesicles seem to undergo exocytosis are discussed. The hypothesis is put forward that in the mossy fibre bouton two morphologically and functionally distinct populations of synaptic vesicles exist and that only one of them undergoes visible irreversible exocytosis, whereas the majority, that is, the small vesicles discharge their transmitter by reversible fusion.After MP injection features of membrane retrieval were also prominent. Frequently, at the borders of the active synaptic zones coated membrane convolutes of both pre- and postsynaptic membranes had invaded the terminals as well as the postsynaptic spine. Thus, in contrast to electrical stimulation, the self-sustained seizures allow energy-expensive processes such as extensive membrane internalization to take place during the interictal pauses.  相似文献

The ultrastructure and synaptic organization of the presumed medullary pacemaker nucleus, nucleus c of the weakly electric mormyrid fish, Gnathonemus petersii has been investigated. Nucleus c consists of about 12-15 small (20-25 micron) neurones (P-cells), which form a group situated ventrally to the medullary relay nucleus and embedded in a neuropil of myelinated fibres and dendritic processes. The P-cells often exhibit an enhanced electron density of their cytoplasm and dendroplasm. They possess several dendrites of different diameter, a short, thin axon initial segment and a thickly myelinated axon running in dorsal direction. The pacemaker neurons are interconnected by complex electronic coupling, established by somatosomatic, dendrosomatic and dendrodendritic gap junctions. Perikarya and dendrites are frequently interconnected serially by gap junctions; dendrites showed sometimes triadic gap-junction arrangement. It is suggested that this high degree of electrotonic coupling amongst the pacemaker cells represents the first level of the highly ordered synchronization processes which characterize the electric discharge command system of Gnathonemus. Pacemaker cells receive synaptic input from club endings with mixed synapses and from bouton-like terminals with chemical synapses, both of them originating from medium-sized myelinated fibres and contacting mainly neuronal perikarya and dendritic processes. The axon initial segment receives only few synaptic inputs. Bouton-like terminals were found to be of two types according to their vesicle content, namely, boutons with ovoid, clear synaptic vesicles forming Gray type-1 synapses and boutons with pleomorphic clear synaptic vesicles forming Gray type-2 synapses. Different functional roles for the two types of boutons in modulating pacemaker cell activity are suggested.  相似文献

Double postembedding GABA- and glycine-immunostaining was performed on the lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) spinal cord after previous HRP labeling of motoneurons. Immunopositive boutons contacting motoneurons were counted and distinguished as GABA (39%), glycine (30%) and both GABA+glycine-immunopositive (31%). Densely-packed, flattened synaptic vesicles were only observed in glycine-immunopositive boutons while GABA-immunoreactive and GABA+glycine-immunoreactive boutons contained rounded or oval synaptic vesicles. Dense-core vesicles of different diameters were associated with conventional synaptic vesicles in 74% of GABA-only-immunopositive boutons, 50% of double GABA+glycine-immunopositive boutons, but were only observed in 9% of glycine-only-immunopositive boutons. The presence of terminals immunoreactive to either GABA or glycine contacting the motoneurons suggests that there is a morphological substrate for both GABAergic and glycinergic postsynaptic inhibition of motoneurons in the lamprey spinal cord.  相似文献
