Previous studies have shown that neurons in the raphe nuclei respond to acoustic stimuli. The present study investigated connections between the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and a hindbrain region consisting of the cochlear nucleus (CN) and neighboring structures. A mixture of one or more tracers (cholera toxin B, biotinylated dextran amine (BDA), and 3H-leucine) was injected into the cat DRN. Retrograde-labeling results are presented whereby a new structure, to be called the juxta-acoustico-floccular fascicle (JAFF), is identified. The JAFF is surrounded by the CN, flocculus, lateral cerebellar nucleus, lateral vestibular nucleus, and restiform body. The JAFF is closely associated with the infracerebellar nucleus (ICN). Labeled neurons projecting to the DRN were concentrated in the JAFF, embedded among axons. Less numerous labeled neurons were in the ICN and CN. Anterograde-labeling results are presented showing fibers labeled with BDA or with BDA and 3H-leucine in the CN, cochlear nerve and vestibular nerve, indicating that the DRN projects to these structures. The ascending and descending connections between the DRN and the above hindbrain region may mediate a reflex that may alter the sensitivity of the auditory system in response to biologically salient (e.g. threatening or attractive) stimuli. 相似文献

Patients with inner ear impairment have complaints of vertigo and also occasionally depression. The present study was undertaken in order to evaluate changes in monoamines which have reportedly been closely related to depression, using cisplatin-induced unilateral inner-ear impaired rats. A dose of 0.5 mg/kg of cisplatin was injected into the right tympanic cavity under pentobarbital Na+ anesthesia. One or two weeks later, animals were fixed with paraformaldehyde, and thereafter immunohistochemical stainings for monoamine-containing cells in the brain were carried out. To visualize 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) neurons, we used mouse antibodies against 5-HT, NA, and DA syntheses, i.e., tryptophan hydroxylase (TRH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH). The number of TRH immunoreactive neurons significantly decreased in the lateral dorsal raphe nucleus of the ipsilateral side when compared with the contralateral side. The number of DA neurons, which were immunoreactive to TH, but not to DBH, significantly decreased in the hypothalamus of the ipsilateral side. The number of NA neurons which were immunoreactive to both TH and DBH significantly decreased in the locus coeruleus and ventral lateral pons of the ipsilateral side. An additional control study with saline-injected rats showed a lack of differences in monoamine syntheses between the injected and contralateral sides, the expressions of the synthesis on both sides being similar to that obtained in the contralateral side in cisplatin-injected rats. These results indicated the decreases in monoamine syntheses at the ipsilateral side only in the cisplatin-administered rats. We conclude that inner ear impairment may diminish the ipsilateral amount of monoamines in the brain but not the cotralateral, possibly inducing a vestibular compensation such as an upregulation of monoamine receptors. 相似文献

This study provides new information on brainstem areas, assumed to be auditory based on observations in other species, in the oscar, Astronotus ocellatus. The primary goal of the study was to explore the morphology of the dorsal descending octaval nucleus, which contains a population of neurons that receives acoustic afferents from the inner ear. Using cytoarchitectonic and connectional criteria, we revised the previously defined dorsal boundary of the descending octaval nucleus, such that the most dorsomedial neurons in this nucleus are positioned ventral to the cerebellar crest and medial to nucleus medialis. At some levels, these dorsomedial cells are continuous with another part of the dorsal descending nucleus that underlies nucleus medialis. The terminal fields of the saccule and lagena are located within this latter, more ventral part of the dorsal descending nucleus. However, the dorsomedial cells that are proximate to the cerebellar crest have long ventral dendrites that extend into these terminal fields, and therefore likely receive saccular and lagenar input. In contrast to a previous report, saccular afferents terminate more medially within the dorsal descending nucleus than do lagenar inputs. Injections of horseradish peroxidase in nucleus centralis of the torus semicircularis revealed that many descending nucleus neurons that lie within the saccular and lagenar terminal fields, including the dorsomedial neurons proximate to the cerebellar crest, project to this acoustic midbrain area. These injections also revealed a secondary octaval population like that described in otophysan fishes. 相似文献

CONCLUSION: Silica nanoparticles may serve as a nonviral delivery system to the sensory hair cells, spiral ganglion cells within the cochlea, and the vestibular organ, as well as the cochlear nucleus. OBJECTIVES: At present there are no targeted therapeutics for inner ear disease. A variety of viral vector systems have been tested in the inner ear with variable efficacy but they are still not regarded as safe systems for inner ear delivery. Nanoparticles are a nonviral method of delivering a variety of macromolecules that potentially can be used for delivery within the auditory system. In this study, we evaluated the distribution and safety of nanoparticles in the inner ear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cy3-labeled silica nanoparticles were placed on the round window membrane of adult mice. Hearing thresholds were determined after nanoparticle delivery by auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). Distribution of particles was determined by histological evaluation of the cochlea, vestibular organs, and brain stem. RESULTS: Fluorescent microscopy demonstrated Cy3-labeled nanoparticles signals in the sensory hair cells and the spiral ganglion neurons of both the treated and contralateral inner ears. Additionally, the distal part of the central auditory pathway (dorsal cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complex) was found to be labeled with the Cy3-linked silica nanoparticles, indicating a retrograde axonal transport. No hearing loss or inflammation was noted in the treated cochlea. 相似文献

Organization of Olivocochlear Neurons in the Cat Studied with the Retrograde Tracer Cholera Toxin-B 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1

We employed cholera toxin-B (CTB), an efficient retrograde tracer, to examine olivocochlear (OC) neurons in the cat. Our primary
goals were (1) to determine whether the cat has two types of lateral OC (LOC) neurons as is found in certain rodents and (2)
to document the morphology, number, and caudorostral distribution of OC neurons, bilaterally. Adult cats received injections
of CTB through the round window of the left cochlea, and, after 3–6 days, the brains were sectioned transversely and CTB was
revealed immunocytochemically in every section. In three cats, OC neurons were mapped, counted differentially according to
cell group, and the numbers of each plotted bilaterally from caudal to rostral. In one cat, measurements were made on labeled
LOC and medial OC (MOC) neurons. The results indicate that LOC neurons can be divided into two groups based on their proximity
to the lateral superior olive (LSO): a more populous group of small neurons that have intimate contact with the LSO, designated
marginal-LOC neurons, and a less populous, morphologically heterogeneous group, lying more distantly from the LSO, designated
para-LOC neurons. Para-LOC neurons lying dorsal and rostral to LSO were significantly larger than marginal-LOC. We hypothesize
that the cat marginal-LOC neurons and most probably the larger para-LOC neurons correspond to rodent intrinsic and shell LOC
neurons, respectively, which have focal versus diffuse projections beneath the inner hair cells. Concerning MOC neurons, we
confirm and extend previous observations on the clustering of these neurons near the rostral tip of the medial superior olivary
nucleus and also show that MOC neurons differ in size according to cell group. Finally, we compare the present counts of OC
neurons (mean total 1607, consisting of 1058 LOC neurons and 549 MOC neurons innervating one cochlea) and their proportional
distribution ipsilaterally and contralaterally with those reported previously. Our estimate of the number of LOC neurons is
somewhat higher than those previously obtained either by retrograde labeling with horseradish peroxidase or by counting unmyelinated
axons in the olivocochlear bundle. In contrast, our estimate of the number of MOC neurons is very similar to those previously
reported. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to test whether the ascending auditory projection from the superior olivary complex (SOC) of the brainstem to the inferior colliculus (IC) may use nitric oxide (NO) as a neuroactive compound. We identified olivo-collicular projection neurons in subnuclei of the SOC by retrograde neuronal tracing with Fluoro-Gold (FG) injected into the central nucleus of the IC. Sections containing retrograde labelled neurons were subjected to immunohistochemical incubation in an antiserum directed against the enzyme responsible for NO production in nerve cells, neuronal NO synthase (nNOS). The analysis showed that FG-containing neurons as well as nNOS-immunoreactive neurons were present in the lateral superior olive (LSO), superior paraolivary nucleus (SPO), ventral nucleus of the trapezoid body (VNTB), medial superior olive (MSO) and in dorsal and ventral periolivary regions to different amounts. However, only in the LSO, SPO and VNTB double-labelled neurons were found. They made up to less than 10% of all nNOS neurons in the SOC. Considering that only about 5% of the nNOS cells in the SOC are olivocochlear neurons [Riemann and Reuss, 1999], it is still open whether the majority of nitrergic neurons of the SOC project to other sites or whether they rather have intrinsic actions in providing NO to the SOC. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether projections from the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) to the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN) use either of two inhibitory transmitters, glycine or GABA. Retrograde HRP labeling of DCN-to-AVCN projection neurons was combined with postembedding immunocytochemistry in the DCN of guinea pigs. Following injections of HRP in the anterior or posterior divisions of AVCN, large numbers of neurons were labeled in the DCN. All of these were located in the deep layer, except for a few granule cells. Nearly all (96%) of the projection neurons were immunoreactive for glycine and most had dendritic and somatic morphologies corresponding to those of elongate neurons (so-called 'corn' cells); only a few resembled small stellate neurons. Few (3%) retrogradely labeled neurons were immunoreactive for GABA. The results suggest that projections from the deep DCN to the AVCN are formed primarily by glycinergic elongate neurons. These projections could have a substantial inhibitory influence on the output of neurons in the AVCN. 相似文献
