Neurotransmitter profile of saccadic omnipause neurons in nucleus raphe interpositus.
Saccadic omnipause neurons (OPNs) are essential for the generation of saccadic eye movements. In primates OPNs are located near the midline within the nucleus raphe interpositus (rip). In the present study we used several different neuroanatomical methods to investigate the transmitters associated with OPNs in the monkey. Immunolabeling for the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin was employed t...
متن کاملEffect of Specific Lesion of Non Serotonergic Pathway on Neurons of Nucleus Raphe Magnus Morphology in Rat
Purpose: The nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) is a medullary nucleus containing serotonergic and non serotonergic neurons, both of which densely project to spinal cord. The goal of this study was to determine the role of these non serotonergic neurons in pain perception and their cytological changes after the specific lesion of bulbo-spinal serotonergic pathway. Materials and Methods: Male rats were...
متن کاملThe nucleus raphe interpositus in the Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome (progressive supranuclear palsy).
As the integrity of the omnipause neurons located in the nucleus raphe interpositus is a prerequisite of normal ocular motility, cell and neurofibrillary tangle densities were determined in 13 Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome (SROS) cases [eight with supranuclear gaze palsy (SGP) and five without] and six controls. Compared with normal controls, cases with SGP were associated with approxima...
متن کاملSerotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus encode reward signals.
The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is involved in organizing reward-related behaviours; however, it remains unclear how genetically defined neurons in the DRN of a freely behaving animal respond to various natural rewards. Here we addressed this question using fibre photometry and single-unit recording from serotonin (5-HT) neurons and GABA neurons in the DRN of behaving mice. Rewards including suc...
متن کاملImpairment of vertical saccades from an acute pontine lesion in multiple sclerosis.
A 62-year-old woman with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis suddenly complained of diplopia associated with bilateral adduction impairment, nystagmus of the abducting eye bilaterally, and sparing of abduction, convergence, and vertical eye movements, consistent with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia. Within 1 week, she had developed a complete horizontal gaze paralysis even with the oc...
