Regulation of cholinergic phenotype in developing neurons.
Specification of neurotransmitter phenotype is critical for neural circuit development and is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Recent findings in rat hypothalamus in vitro suggest the role of neurotransmitter glutamate in the regulation of cholinergic phenotype. Here we extended our previous studies on the mechanisms of glutamate-dependent regulation of cholinergic phenotypic prop...
متن کاملNeurons with cholinergic phenotype in the visual system of Drosophila.
The optic lobe of Drosophila houses about 60,000 neurons that are organized in parallel, retinotopically arranged columns. Based on the Golgi-staining method, Fischbach and Dittrich ([1989] Cell Tissue Res 258:441-475) determined that each column contains about 90 identified cells. Each of these cells is supposed to release one or two different neurotransmitters. However, for most cells the rel...
متن کاملHypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons have a cholinergic phenotype.
Neuronal networks originating in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus play fundamental roles in the control of energy balance. Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-producing neurons in the arcuate nucleus stimulate food intake, whereas arcuate nucleus neurons that release the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) potently reduce food intake. Relatively little a...
متن کاملDeveloping cholinergic basal forebrain neurons are sensitive to thyroid hormone.
The influence of thyroid hormone on the development of cholinergic neurons in nucleus basalis was assessed in hyperthyroid, hypothyroid, and euthyroid rats by use of CAT immunohistochemistry and single-section Golgi-impregnation histology. Animals were made either hyperthyroid by daily injections of 1.0 micrograms/gm body weight triiodothyronine starting at postnatal day (P) 3 or hypothyroid by...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent regulation of cholinergic cell phenotype in the hypothalamus in vitro.
Glutamate is a major fast excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS including the hypothalamus. Our previous experiments in hypothalamic neuronal cultures showed that a long-term decrease in glutamate excitation upregulates ACh excitatory transmission. Data suggested that in the absence of glutamate activity in the hypothalamus in vitro, ACh becomes the major excitatory neurotransmitter and suppor...
