    Notes: Summary The subcortical projections to the lateral geniculate body (LGB) in the rat were studied by means of discrete HRP iontophoretic deposits in the dorsal or the ventral LGB; the labelling was compared to that resulting from HRP deposits in neighboring nuclei. After injecting HRP in the dorsal LGB, labelled cells appeared bilaterally in the ventral LGB, pretectum, superior colliculus, lateral groups of the dorsal raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus. Ipsilaterally, labelled cells were found in the lateral posterior thalamus, nucleus of the posterior commissure and deep mesencephalic reticular nucleus. After injecting HRP into the ventral LGB, labelled cells were observed bilaterally in the pretectum, superior colliculus and dorsal raphe nucleus (lateral groups). Contralateral labelling appeared in the ventral LGB and parabigeminal nucleus. Ipsilateral labelling was found in the zona incerta, lateral posterior thalamus, lateral and medial mesencephalic reticular formation, vestibular and dorsal tegmental nuclei. These findings provide evidence of subcortical projections to the LGB arising in visually-related areas as well as extravisual areas, which might be related to the LGB boutons that survive complete cortical and retinal ablations.

    On the Role of Galanin, Substance P and Other Neuropeptides in Primary Sensory Neurons of the Rat: Studies on Spinal Reflex Excitability and Peripheral Axotomy (1990)

    Notes: The interaction of intrathecally (i.t.) applied galanin (GAL) with substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), somatostatin (SOM) and C-fibre conditioning stimulation (CS) with regard to their effects on the spinal nociceptive flexor reflex was studied in decerebrate, spinalized, unanaesthetized rats with intact or sectioned sciatic nerves. SP, CGRP, VIP and SOM applied onto the surface of lumbar spinal cord or a brief CS train (1 Hz, 20 s) to the sural nerve facilitated the flexor reflex for several minutes in animals with intact or sectioned nerves. Pretreatment with GAL, which by itself had a biphasic effect on the flexor reflex in a dose-dependent manner, antagonized the reflex facilitation induced by sural CS before and after sciatic nerve section. SP-induced facilitation of the flexor reflex was antagonized by GAL in rats with intact sciatic nerves, but not after nerve section. In contrast, VIP-induced reflex facilitation was antagonized by GAL only after sectioning of the sciatic nerve. GAL was effective in antagonizing the facilitatory effect of CGRP under both situations, but had no effect on SOM-induced facilitation. A parallel immunohistochemical study revealed that after sciatic nerve section GAL-like immunoreactivity (LI) and VIP-LI are increased in the dorsal root ganglia and that these two peptides coexist in many cells. The present results indicate that GAL antagonizes the excitatory effect of some neuropeptides which exist in the spinal cord. This antagonism could explain the inhibitory effect of GAL on C-fibre CS-induced facilitation of the flexor reflex, which is presumably due to the release of some of these neuropeptides from the terminals of primary afferents. Furthermore, the interaction between GAL and other neuropeptides is altered by sciatic nerve section, paralleling changes in the levels of these neuropeptides in primary afferents and their pattern of coexistence after nerve section. It is proposed that SP and CGRP are important mediators of the spinal flexor reflex in intact rats. However, after axotomy VIP may replace SP in this capacity, paralleling the decrease in SP and marked increase in VIP levels. In general the study provides further support for involvement of peptides in sensory function.

    Intrathecal galanin at low doses increases spinal reflex excitability in rats more to thermal than mechanical stimuli (1988)

    Notes: Summary The neuropeptide galanin (GAL) was injected intrathecally (i.t.) in decerebrate, spinalized, unanesthetized rats and its effect on the nocifensive flexor reflex was examined. The reflex, which was evoked by intense mechanical or thermal stimulation of the foot, was recorded from the ipsilateral hamstring muscles. I.t. GAL increased reflex excitability significantly more to thermal than to mechanical stimuli. It is suggested that GAL, which is present in sensory fibers that innervate the skin, is released by the central terminals of cutaneous afferents that are much more sensitive to thermal than to mechanical stimuli.

    Notes: Abstract The presence and distribution of peptidergic nerve fibers were studied in the testis and mesorchium of the toad by means of immunohistochemistry. Cryostat sections of the testis and whole-mount preparations of mesorchia were immunostained with antisera to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY). After leaving the mesorchium CGRP-immunoreactive (IR) fibers were seen predominantly running in between the seminiferous tubules. In addition, a small population of CGRP-IR nerve fibers formed thin plexuses around blood vessels. Conversely, NPY-like immunoreactivity predominated in nerve fibers that formed dense plexuses around vessels both in the mesorchium and testis. Additionally, some single NPY-IR nerve fibers could be seen in both structures studied. The functional significance of these peptidergic systems in the testis of the toad remains to be analyzed.

    Notes: Summary In situ hybridization histochemistry and indirect immunofluorescence histochemistry were used to study changes in the expression of vasopressin (VP), oxytocin (OXY), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), galanin (GAL), dynorphin (DYN) and cholecystokinin (CCK) in hypothalamic magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei of rats. After prolonged administration of 2% sodium chloride as drinking water (salt-loading), the treatment increased the levels of VP, OXY, TH, GAL, DYN and CCK mRNA in the PVN and SON. The increase in CCK mRNA was, however, proportionally higher in the PVN than in the SON. Within cell bodies of the PVN and SON of salt-loaded rats, a depletion of VP- and OXY-like immunoreactivity (LI) and an increase in TH-LI were seen. In salt-loaded/colchicine-treated rats, a marked decrease in GAL- and DYN-LI, but no specific changes in CCK-LI were observed. Within nerve fibers of the posterior pituitary of salt-loaded rats, a marked depletion of VP-, GAL- and DYN-LI was found. Less pronounced depletion was observed in OXY- and CCK-LI, and no specific changes in TH-LI were seen. The results show that high plasma osmolality induces increased mRNA levels for VP, OXY, TH, GAL, DYN and CCK, presumably indicating increased synthesis, an increased export from cell somata of VP, OXY, GAL and DYN, and a decrease in levels of these peptides in the posterior pituitary, suggesting increased release. The catecholamine-synthesizing enzyme TH, however, which has a cytoplasmic localization and is not released from nerve endings, remains high in the cell bodies and nerve endings during this state of increased activity.
