- W2108659110 abstract "The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is found in the superior colliculus (SC) of many mammalian species. In cat, several distinct classes of putative GABAergic neuron have been identified using antibodies directed against the neurotransmitter. It is not known whether these classes are found in other species. To study this, we examined the distribution, morphology, ultrastructure, and synaptic organization of GABA immunoreactive neurons in the SC of the Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). Antibody-labeled neurons were distributed throughout the monkey SC, but were most densely concentrated within the zonal and superficial gray layers (32.5% of the total). These neurons were all small cells ranging from 6.6-16.3 microns in average diameter, and had granule, pyriform, and horizontal morphologies. Four types of labeled profile were identified in single ultrathin sections with the electron microscope. Presynaptic dendrites (PSDs) contained pleomorphic vesicles, received synaptic input from unlabeled axon terminals, and sometimes formed symmetric synaptic contacts with postsynaptic profiles. Two subtypes were found. One type contained loose accumulations of synaptic vesicles throughout the profile and had a distinctive varicose shape. The other type contained small discrete clusters of synaptic vesicles near the site of synaptic apposition. The former were much more common. Profiles with typical axon terminal morphology were also found. These profiles usually contained numerous flattened vesicles and formed symmetric synapses with postsynaptic profiles, both dendrites and cell bodies. Some conventional dendrites and myelinated axons were also labeled. Serial ultrathin section reconstructions revealed that PSDs formed complex synaptic relationships with other elements. Retinal terminals, identified by their characteristic pale mitochondria, established synaptic contacts with both types of PSD. These PSDs also established contact with each other, providing a possible anatomical substrate for disinhibition. We conclude that the monkey SC has multiple GABAergic cell types, similar to those found in cat, and may represent an organization common to both mammals and some other vertebrate species. The circuitry established by these cell types may provide a mechanism for disinhibition as well as inhibition in the mammalian SC." @default.
