Diversification of intrinsic motoneuron electrical properties during normal development and botulinum toxin-induced muscle paralysis in early postnatal mice.
During early postnatal development, between birth and postnatal days 8-11, mice start to achieve weight-bearing locomotion. In association with the progression of weight-bearing locomotion there are presumed developmental changes in the intrinsic electrical properties of spinal -motoneurons. However, these developmental changes in the properties of -motoneuron properties have not been systemati...
متن کاملEffects of congenital hypothyroidism on the morphology of trigeminal motoneuron assessed by the Golgi staining method in rats
Introduction: Appropriate thyroid hormone (TH) levels are essential during the critical period of brain development, which is associated with the growth of axons and dendrites and synapse formation. In rats, oral motor circuits begin to reach to their adult pattern around 3 weeks after birth, the period in which alteration from sucking to biting and chewing occurs (weaning time). Trigeminal ...
متن کاملModulation of motoneuron excitability by brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
The influence of neurotrophins on motoneuron survival and development has been well documented in cell cultures and neonates. In the present study, the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the maintenance of motoneuron electrical properties was investigated. In adult male rats, BDNF- or saline-saturated gelfoam was inserted between the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemiu...
متن کاملA Gradient in Synaptic Strength and Plasticity among Motoneurons Provides a Peripheral Mechanism for Locomotor Control
The recruitment of motoneurons during force generation follows a general pattern that has been confirmed across diverse species [1-3]. Motoneurons are recruited systematically according to synaptic inputs and intrinsic cellular properties and corresponding to movements of different intensities. However, much less is known about the output properties of individual motoneurons and how they affect...
متن کاملBlocking Ca(2+)-dependent synaptic release delays motoneuron differentiation in the rat spinal cord.
Development of motoneuron electrical properties and excitability was studied in spinal cord explants of rat embryos cultured for 1-3 weeks. The morphological organization of the spinal cord and synaptic inputs onto motoneurons were maintained in organ culture. The rate of differentiation of motoneuron resting potential and increase in membrane excitability was similar in vitro and in vivo, sugg...
