- W1989852084 abstract "The GABAergic innervation of the extraocular motor nuclei in the cat was evaluated using postembedding immunocytochemical techniques. The characterization of GABA-immunoreactive terminals in the oculomotor nucleus was carried out at the light and electron microscopic levels. GABA-immunopositive puncta suggestive of boutons were abundant in semithin sections throughout the oculomotor nucleus, and were found in close apposition to somata and dendrites. Ultrathin sections revealed an extensive and dense distribution of GABA-immunoreactive synaptic endings that established contacts with the perikarya and proximal dendrites of motoneurons and were also abundant in the surrounding neuropil. GABAergic boutons were characterized by the presence of numerous mitochondria, pleiomorphic vesicles and multiple small symmetrical synaptic contacts. The trochlear nucleus exhibited the highest density of GABAergic terminations. In contrast, scarce GABA immunostaining was associated with the motoneurons and internuclear neurons of the abducens nucleus. In order to further elucidate the role of this neurotransmitter in the oculomotor system, retrograde tracing of horseradish peroxidase was used in combination with the GABA immunostaining. First, medial rectus motoneurons were identified following horseradish peroxidase injection into the corresponding muscle. This was carried out because of the peculiar afferent organization of medial rectus motoneurons that contrasts with the remaining extraocular motoneurons, especially their lack of direct vestibular inhibition. Semithin sections of the oculomotor nucleus containing retrogradely labeled medial rectus motoneurons and immunostained for GABA revealed numerous immunoreactive puncta in close apposition to horseradish peroxidase-labeled somata and in the surrounding neuropil. At the ultrastructural level, GABAergic terminals established synaptic contacts with the somata and proximal dendrites of medial rectus motoneurons. Their features and density were similar to those found in the remaining motoneuronal subgroups of the oculomotor nucleus. Second, oculomotor internuclear neurons were identified following the injection of horseradish peroxidase into the abducens nucleus to determine whether they could give rise to GABAergic terminations in the abducens nucleus. About 20% of the oculomotor internuclear neurons were doubly labeled by retrograde horseradish peroxidase and GABA immunostaining. A high percentage (80%) of the oculomotor internuclear neurons projecting to the abducens nucleus showed immunonegative perikarya. It was concluded that the oculomotor internuclear pathway to the abducens nucleus comprises both GABAergic and non-GABAergic neurons and, at least in part, the GABA input to the abducens nucleus originates from this source. It is suggested that this pathway might carry excitatory and inhibitory influences on abducens neurons arising bilaterally." @default.
