Differentiation of Cochlear Afferent Neurons

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1981
In order to clarify some open questions, the various types of afferent neurons of the cochlea were analysed in various species regarding their structural features, their association with outer or inner hair cells and their connection to the CNS, by means of degeneration experiments and tracer studies.

Piezo2 expression in corneal afferent neurons

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2014
ABSTRACTRecently, a novel class of mechanically sensitive channels has been identified and have been called Piezo channels. In this study, we explored Piezo channel expression in sensory neurons supplying the guinea pig corneal epithelium, which have well‐defined modalities in this species.

Afferents modulate newborn neurons

Science, 2019
Neuroscience What is the role of adult neurogenesis in learning, memory, and mood? Luna et al. found that adult-born neurons either inhibited or excited the dentate gyrus, depending on whether synaptic inputs originated from the lateral or the medial entorhinal cortex (see the Perspective by Llorens-Martin).

Afferent Connections to Reticulo-Spinal Neurons

1964
Publisher Summary Reticulo-spinal neurons of the cat brain stem receive excitatory connections from a wide area of the cerebral cortex. The strength of the connections varies both with the cortical area stimulated and with the particular neuron investigated. The effects of changing stimulus parameters are described in this chapter.

Primary Afferent Neurons Innervating Guinea Pig Dura

Journal of Neurophysiology, 1997
Bove, Geoffrey M. and Michael A. Moskowitz. Primary Afferent Neurons Innervating Guinea Pig Dura. J. Neurophysiol. 77: 299–308, 1997. We made recordings from filaments of guinea pig nasociliary nerve to study response properties of afferent axons innervating the anterior superior sagittal sinus and surrounding dura mater.

Tonically active vagal pulmonary afferent neurones

Life Sciences, 1965
Abstract Except for pulmonary deflation receptors (Paintal, 1963), which are inactive in the eupneic anesthetized cat, all known types of pulmonary afferent endings exhibit a discharge pattern which is related to the respiratory cycle. Recent studies of the sensory discharge of vagal afferent neurones has revealed the existence of a group of afferent

Galanin expression in carotid body afferent neurons

Neuroscience, 1995
The present study examined expression and plasticity of the neuropeptide, galanin, in carotid body afferent neurons in the petrosal ganglion of the adult rat. The pattern of galanin expression was compared with that of tyrosine hydroxylase, a selective marker of dopaminergic carotid body afferents in the petrosal ganglion. In normal animals, only 3% of

Dopamine depolarisation of mammalian primary afferent neurones

Nature, 1980
Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the mammalian nervous system. As such, it is implicated in the aetiology and therapy of various disease conditions--for example, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease and tardive dyskinesia.

Aspartate-like immunoreactivity in primary afferent neurons

Neuroscience, 1991
There is now good evidence that amino acids act as neurotransmitters in primary afferent neurons of dorsal root ganglia. Glutamate is the primary candidate for such a role, and there are reasons to believe that release of glutamate may be accompanied by the release of other neuroactive substances. Using immunocytochemical techniques, we have tested the

Afferent modulation of dopamine neuron firing patterns

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1999
In recent studies examining the modulation of dopamine (DA) cell firing patterns, particular emphasis has been placed on excitatory afferents from the prefrontal cortex and the subthalamic nucleus. A number of inconsistencies in recently published reports, however, do not support the contention that tonic activation of NMDA receptors is the sole ...
