• W3089980773 abstract "Meso-diencephalic dopaminergic neurons are known to modulate locomotor behaviors through their ascending projections to the basal ganglia, which in turn project to the mesencephalic locomotor region, known to control locomotion in vertebrates. In addition to their ascending projections, dopaminergic neurons were found to increase locomotor movements through direct descending projections to the mesencephalic locomotor region and spinal cord. Intriguingly, fibers expressing tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme of dopamine synthesis, were also observed around reticulospinal neurons of lampreys. We now examined the origin and the role of this innervation. Using immunofluorescence and tracing experiments, we found that fibers positive for dopamine innervate reticulospinal neurons in the four reticular nuclei of lampreys. We identified the dopaminergic source using tracer injections in reticular nuclei, which retrogradely labeled dopaminergic neurons in a caudal diencephalic nucleus (posterior tuberculum [PT]). Using voltammetry in brain preparations isolated in vitro , we found that PT stimulation evoked dopamine release in all four reticular nuclei, but not in the spinal cord. In semi-intact preparations where the brain is accessible and the body moves, PT stimulation evoked swimming, and injection of a D 1 receptor antagonist within the middle rhombencephalic reticular nucleus was sufficient to decrease reticulospinal activity and PT-evoked swimming. Our study reveals that dopaminergic neurons have access to command neurons that integrate sensory and descending inputs to activate spinal locomotor neurons. As such, our findings strengthen the idea that dopamine can modulate locomotor behavior both via ascending projections to the basal ganglia and through descending projections to brainstem motor circuits. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Meso-diencephalic dopaminergic neurons play a key role in modulating locomotion by releasing dopamine in the basal ganglia, spinal networks, and the mesencephalic locomotor region, a brainstem region that controls locomotion in a graded fashion. Here, we report in lampreys that dopaminergic neurons release dopamine in the four reticular nuclei where reticulospinal neurons are located. Reticulospinal neurons integrate sensory and descending suprareticular inputs to control spinal interneurons and motoneurons. By directly modulating the activity of reticulospinal neurons, meso-diencephalic dopaminergic neurons control the very last instructions sent by the brain to spinal locomotor circuits. Our study reports on a new direct descending dopaminergic projection to reticulospinal neurons that modulates locomotor behavior." @default.
