Properties of utricular and saccular nerve-activated vestibulocerebellar neurons in cats.

Abstract:

:Properties of otolith inputs to vestibulocerebellar neurons were investigated in 14 adult cats. In the vestibular nuclei, we recorded single-unit activities that responded orthodromically after stimulation of the utricular and/or saccular nerves and antidromically after stimulation of the cerebellum (uvula-nodulus and anterior vermis). Descending axonal projections to the spinal cord were also examined by antidromic stimulation of the caudal end of the C1 segment. Forty-seven otolith-activated neurons that projected to the uvula-nodulus were recorded. Thirteen (28%) of the 47 neurons received convergent inputs from the utriculus and sacculus. The remaining 34 (72%) vestibular neurons were non-convergent neurons: 18 (38%) received utricular input alone, and 16 (34%) received saccular input alone. Most (35/47) vestibulocerebellar neurons were located in the descending vestibular nucleus and only one of these projected to the spinal cord. Seven of the 47 vestibulocerebellar neurons were located in the lateral vestibular nucleus and most of these neurons projected to the spinal cord. The remaining neurons were located in group X (two neurons) and the superior vestibular nucleus (three neurons). In a different series of experiments, 37 otolith-activated vestibular neurons were tested to determine whether they projected to the uvula-nodulus and/or the anterior vermis. Nineteen of the 37 neurons projected to the anterior vermis, 13/37 projected to the uvula-nodulus, and 5/37 projected to both. The utricular and/or saccular nerve-activated vestibulocerebellar neurons projected to not only the uvulanodulus, but also to the anterior vermis. In summary, the results of this study showed that vestibular neurons receiving inputs from the utriculus and/or sacculus projected to the cerebellar cortex. This indirect otolith-cerebellar pathway terminated both in the anterior lobe and in the uvula/nodulus.
