Sensory Input-Dependent Changes in Glutamatergic Neurotransmission- Related Genes and Proteins in the Adult Rat Trigeminal Ganglion
Experience-dependent plasticity induces lasting changes in the structure of synapses, dendrites, and axons at both molecular and anatomical levels. Whilst relatively well studied in the cortex, little is known about the molecular changes underlying experience-dependent plasticity at peripheral levels of the sensory pathways. Given the importance of glutamatergic neurotransmission in the somatos...
متن کاملVoltage-dependent sodium and calcium currents in acutely isolated adult rat trigeminal root ganglion neurons.
Voltage-dependent sodium (INa) and calcium (ICa) currents in small (<30 microM) neurons from adult rat trigeminal root ganglia were characterized with a standard whole cell patch-clamp technique. Two types of INa showing different sensitivity to tetrodotoxin (TTX) were recorded, which showed marked differences in their activating and inactivating time courses. The activation and the steady-stat...
متن کاملNematosomes in the Rat Trigeminal Ganglion
The fine structure of a "new" cytoplasmic inclusion in sympathetic neurons of adult rats has recently been described (2) . This inclusion was called a nematosome ("threadlike") and consisted of a convoluted network of electron-opaque strands embedded in a less dense matrix : it averaged 0.9 u in diameter. Morphological similarities between nematosomes, nucleoli, and synaptic material led to the...
متن کاملThe Glutamatergic System in Primary Somatosensory Neurons and Its Involvement in Sensory Input-Dependent Plasticity
Glutamate is the most common neurotransmitter in both the central and the peripheral nervous system. Glutamate is present in all types of neurons in sensory ganglia, and is released not only from their peripheral and central axon terminals but also from their cell bodies. Consistently, these neurons express ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, as well as other molecules involved in the synthe...
متن کاملPrimary sensory neuron addition in the adult rat trigeminal ganglion: evidence for neural crest glio-neuronal precursor maturation.
It is debated whether primary sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia increase the number in adult animals and, if so, whether the increase is attributable to postnatal neurogenesis or maturation of dormant, postmitotic precursors. Similar studies are lacking in the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Here we demonstrate by stereological methods that the number of neurons in the TG of adult male rats ...
