Peptidergic input to immunohistochemically-identified Renshaw cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peptidergic influences on Renshaw cells were assessed in rat using gephyrin-immunoreactivity, as a Renshaw cell specific marker, in combination with substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide- and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-immunolabelling. An average of 3.9 substance P-, and 8.1 calcitonin gene-related peptide-, and 16.3 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-immunoreactive close contacts or puncta were observed per Renshaw cell. Most appositions were somatic. These results provide neuroanatomical support for the peptidergic modulation of Renshaw cells.

Peptidergic innervation of arterial chemoreceptors.
The peptidergic innervation of arterial chemoreceptor organs (the rat carotid body and vagal paraganglia; guinea pig carotid body) was studied immunohistochemically. Five different populations of nerve fibres in the guinea pig carotid body could be discriminated according to their origin and their chemical coding. The innervation pattern of the rat carotid body differed in some aspects. Compari...
متن کاملPrimary afferent synapses on developing and adult Renshaw cells.
The mechanisms that diversify adult interneurons from a few pools of embryonic neurons are unknown. Renshaw cells, Ia inhibitory interneurons (IaINs), and possibly other types of mammalian spinal interneurons have common embryonic origins within the V1 group. However, in contrast to IaINs and other V1-derived interneurons, adult Renshaw cells receive motor axon synapses and lack proprioceptive ...
متن کاملTitle: a Comparison of the Electrotonic and Morphological Properties
The morphological and electrotonic properties of four motoneurons, eight Ia inhibitory interneurons and four Renshaw cells were compared. The morphological analysis, based on 3-D reconstructions of the cells, revealed that dendrites of motoneurons are longer and more extensively branched. Renshaw cells have dendrites that are shorter and simpler in structure. Dendrites of Ia inhibitory interneu...
