Noradrenergic Modulation of Intrinsic and Synaptic Properties of Lumbar Motoneurons in the Neonatal Rat Spinal Cord
Although it is known that noradrenaline (NA) powerfully controls spinal motor networks, few data are available regarding the noradrenergic (NAergic) modulation of intrinsic and synaptic properties of neurons in motor networks. Our work explores the cellular basis of NAergic modulation in the rat motor spinal cord. We first show that lumbar motoneurons express the three classes of adrenergic rec...
متن کاملInduction of c-Jun phosphorylation in spinal motoneurons in neonatal and adult rats following axonal injury.
This study aims to address if phosphorylation of the transcription factor c-Jun is associated with lesion-induced death of spinal motoneurons, and if this cellular response is modulated by glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). We found that after both distal axotomy and root avulsion, spinal motoneurons in neonatal rats expressed phosphorylated c-Jun (p-c-Jun) and almost all injur...
متن کاملIncreased electrotonic coupling in spinal motoneurons after transient botulinum neurotoxin paralysis in the neonatal rat.
The effect of early postnatal blockade of neuromuscular transmission using botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) type A on motoneuron gap junctional coupling was studied by means of intracellular recordings and biocytin labeling using the in vitro hemisected spinal cord preparation of neonatal rats. The somata of tibialis anterior (TA) motoneurons were retrogradely labeled at birth (P0) by intramuscular ...
متن کاملInhibitory postsynaptic potentials in lumbar motoneurons remain depolarizing after neonatal spinal cord transection in the rat.
GABA and glycine are excitatory in the immature spinal cord and become inhibitory during development. The shift from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) occurs during the perinatal period in the rat, a time window during which the projections from the brain stem reach the lumbar enlargement. In this study, we investigated the effects of suppressing influen...
