Transcallosally evoked responses in the visual cortex of normal and monocularly enucleated rabbits

Summary In visual cortex of normal adult rabbits, callosal projections are restricted to a 2 mm wide band at the area 17/18 border. In adult rabbits which are monocularly enucleated (ME) on the day of birth, the callosal zone extends 4 mm into the medial region of area 17 in the cortex ipsilateral to the remaining eye. In this study, the function of these anomalous callosal projections in ME rabbits was investigated using electrophysiological techniques. A microelectrode was placed in the visual cortex ipsilateral to the enucleated eye at the 17/18 border, bipolar stimulating electrodes were placed in a homotopic location in the contralateral cortex, and averaged evoked responses (AERs) to stimulation were recorded. The stimulating electrodes were then moved mediolaterally in 1 mm steps, and the AERs were recorded for each location of the stimulating electrodes. In the normal rabbit, a maximal short latency evoked response was recorded when the stimulating electrodes were at a location homotopic to the recording electrode. When the stimulating electrodes were moved a distance of 1 mm or more from this optimal position, this short latency response was either absent or dramatically decreased in amplitude, reflecting the precise topographic pattern of the normal callosal projection. In contrast, in ME rabbits, a consistent response was evoked at the 17/18 border when the stimulating electrodes were moved as much as 3 mm medial to the homotopic position. Since antidromically activated responses and both pre- and post-synaptic orthodromically activated responses contribute to the AER, recordings were also made from single cells in some animals. Orthodromically activated single cell responses were evoked by electrical stimulation in the abnormal medial callosal zone of ME rabbits. The data indicate that abnormal callosal projections in ME rabbits can mediate functional interactions between nonhomotopic areas of the primary visual cortices.     

Relations between chronic stimulation-induced changes in contractile properties and the Ca2+-sequestering system of rat and rabbit fast-twitch muscles

This study compares changes in contractile properties, Parvalbumin content, and Ca²⁺-uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of low-frequency stimulated rat and rabbit tibialis anterior (TA) muscles. Time to peak tension increased 1.8-fold in 35-day stimulated rabbit TA, while no change occurred in rat TA. Isometric twitch tension increased 2-fold in rabbit TA, but was unaltered in rat TA. Parvalbumin (PA) content was more than 90% reduced in rabbit TA, but only 60% in rat TA after 35 days. At this time, PA content of the stimulated rat TA was still higher than that of normal rabbit TA. Taking into account the suggested role of PA as a cytosolic Ca²⁺ buffer, its decrease could lead to an impaired free Ca²⁺-decay with a prolonged active state and a higher tension output during a single twitch. This would explain why chronic stimulation led to an increase in isometric twitch tension in rabbit TA, but not in rat TA. The 1.6-fold rise in half-relaxation time of 35-day stimulated rat and rabbit TA most likely resulted from a 50% reduced Ca²⁺-uptake by the SR, due to a still unknown modification of the Ca²⁺-transport ATPase.     

Inhibitory interaction between the vestibulo-ocular reflexes arising from semicircular canals of rabbits

Summary In anesthetized albino rabbits, electric pulse stimulation was applied to ampullary branches of the vestibular nerve. Reflex discharges evoked from a canal in an extraocular muscle were depressed very effectively by conditioning stimulation at a certain other canal. The present systematic survey revealed that this reflex depression occurred specifically in 3 combinations of conditioning and testing canals; 1. anterior and posterior canals of the same side; 2. anterior and posterior canals of the opposite sides; and 3. horizontal canals of the two sides. Occurrence of postsynaptic inhibition in oculomotor neurons, on the other hand, was indicated by appearance of slow muscle potentials in extraocular muscles. It was confirmed that this motoneuronal inhibition did not contribute to the reflex depression in the above combination (1). Even in combinations (2) and (3), the accompanying motoneuronal inhibition was eliminated by adjusting intensities of canal stimuli or by severing its pathway in the medulla, or it was discriminated from the reflex depression by their different latencies and time courses. Hence, it was concluded that the reflex depression was attributable, at least largely, to non-motoneuronal inhibition, presumably postsynaptic inhibition at relay neurons for vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Slow muscle potentials evoked from a canal were also used as testing responses, but their depression could not be detected after conditioning at other canals.

Nature of optokinetic response and zonal organization of climbing fiber afferents in the vestibulocerebellum of the pigmented rabbit

Summary In pigmented rabbits anesthetized with N₂O (70%) and halothane (2–4%), Purkinje cells were extracellularly recorded in the nodulus. Large field (60°×60°) optokinetic stimulation (OKS) with constant velocity was delivered to either the ipsi- or contralateral eye, and the direction and velocity selectivities of complex spike responses were examined. To ipsilateral OKS (n = 181), the preferred direction was forward (F, n = 72), upward (U, n = 38) or downward (D, n = 10), while the remaining cells (n = 61) showed no response (N). To contralateral OKS (n = 117), the preferred direction was backward (B, n = 22), upward (U, n = 7) or downward (D, n = 22), while the rest (n = 66) showed N. Cells tested with both eyes (n = 95) fell into 8 categories based on the preferred direction to ipsi- and contralateral OKS: (1) ipsi-F and contra-B (F/B type, n = 20), (2) ipsi-F but contra-N (F/N type, n = 12), (3) ipsi-U and contra-D (U/D type, n = 15), (4) ipsi-U but contra-N (U/N type, n = 13), (5) ipsi-N but contra-D (N/D type, n = 1), (6) ipsi-D but contra-N (D/N type, n = 5), (7) ipsi-N but contra-U (N/U type, n = 6), and (8) N to both eyes (N/N type, n = 23). The optimum velocity was in the range 0.1–2.0°/s for all cells responsive to OKS. In the ventral lamella, four medio-laterally aligned zones were demonstrated. In the most medial zone (0–0.5 mm from the midline), the majority of cells showed ipsi-N or contra-N responses. In the second zone (0.5–1.5 mm), most cells preferred ipsi-F or contra-B directions. In the third zone (1.5–2.5 mm), most cells preferred ipsi-U or contra-D directions. In the most lateral zone (2.5–3.5 mm), most cells preferred ipsi-F or contra-B directions. In the dorsal lamella, a longitudinal zone characterized with cells preferring ipsi-U or contra-D directions was found about 1.5–2.5 mm from the midline. This zone seemed to be the continuation of the third zone in the ventral lamella. Cells preferring ipsi-D or contra-U directions were scattered in the medial half of both the dorsal and ventral lamellae. Most cells responsive to electrical stimulation of the contralateral optic tract (OT) preferred the ipsi-F direction and were localized in the second and the most lateral zones of the ventral lamella. As for cells activated by a climbing fiber with a branching axon to the flocculus, no characteristic feature was found in terms of the preferred direction to OKS, except that none of the cells preferring ipsi-D or contra-U directions were activated by such branching climbing fibers. The results indicate that the nodulus consists of at least four functionally distinct zones in terms of direction selectivity of visual climbing fiber afferents.     

Calcium-dependent slow outward current in visceral primary afferent neurones of the rabbit

Slow outward currents were recorded from voltage-clamped neurones in nodose ganglia excised from rabbits. In the majority of Type C neurones, a short depolarizing command pulse evoked a slow outward tail current (I _SAH) with a decay time constant ranging from 0.5 to 2 s. TheI _SAH was due to an increase in membrane conductance to K⁺ because its reversal potential was approximately equal to the Nernst potential for K⁺. TheI _SAH was reversibly blocked by removal of external Ca²⁺ or by Ca²⁺ antagonists. A Ca²⁺ ionophore, A23187, produced an outward current which was similar to theI _SAH. TheI _SAH was resistant to tetraethylammonium and depressed by Ba²⁺, whereas it was not affected by Cs⁺ and 4-aminopyridine. TheI _SAH was initially augmented and subsequently depressed by apamin (1–10 nM) and (+)-tubocurarine (100–600 M). It is concluded that theI _SAH in visceral primary neurones may be due to a long-lasting increase in K⁺ conductance caused by an increase in the concentration of intracellular Ca²⁺, resulting from Ca²⁺ entry during the depolarizing command pulse.
