Developmental and experimental changes in dendritic symmetry in n. laminaris of the chick.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early acoustic experience affects the structure of neurons in the brainstem of young chickens. In the binaurally innervated cells of the nucleus laminaris the symmetry of the dorsal and ventral dendritic trees normally increases during the embryonic and early postnatal period. Unilateral ear plugs disrupt that development. This study shows that balanced stimulation plays an important role in the development of symmetrical neuronal structures in the central auditory pathway.

Introduction: Angiogenesis is the formation of new vessels from early vessels that has effected in pathologic condition such as growing tumor, metastases, arthritis rheumatoid, diabetes and physiologic condition such as developmental and growing of organ regeneration, wound healing, and reproduction. Otostegia presica is a member of Laminacea family, has antioxidant and anti-apoptosis propertie...

The influence of monaural acoustic deprivation on the size of dendrites in n. laminaris in the chick was examined. Chicks were raised in a controlled aco~stic environment with one ear occluded from 2 days prior to hatching untI125 days after hatching by an earplug which provided a conductive hearing loss of approximately 40 dB across the audible frequency range. Each n. laminaris cell receives ...

The onset of responsiveness to eighth nerve stimulation was examined in n. magnocellularis and n. laminaris, (second- and third-order neurons) of the chick brainstem auditory system. Extracellular microelectrode mapping techniques were used to examine postsynaptic responses in in vitro brainstem preparations. Two specific questions were addressed. First, what is the earliest time at which posts...
متن کاملRapid regulation of microtubule-associated protein 2 in dendrites of nucleus laminaris of the chick following deprivation of afferent activity.
Differential innervation of segregated dendritic domains in the chick nucleus laminaris (NL), composed of third-order auditory neurons, provides a unique model to study synaptic regulation of dendritic structure. Altering the synaptic input to one dendritic domain affects the structure and length of the manipulated dendrites while leaving the other set of unmanipulated dendrites largely unchang...
متن کاملDevelopment of glutamatergic synaptic transmission in binaural auditory neurons.
Glutamatergic synaptic transmission is essential for binaural auditory processing in birds and mammals. Using whole cell voltage clamp recordings, we characterized the development of synaptic ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) function from auditory neurons in the chick nucleus laminaris (NL), the first nucleus responsible for binaural processing. We show that synaptic transmission is mediat...
