Evidence of GABA-immunopositive neurons in the dorsal part of the lateral geniculate nucleus of reptiles: morphological correlates with interneurons.

Abstract:

:The distribution and staining pattern of gamma-aminobutyric acid immunoreactivity have been examined by both light and electron microscopy in the dorsal part of the lateral geniculate nucleus of three reptilian species: the turtle Chinemys reevesi, the lizard Ophisaurus apodus and the snake Vipera aspis. After perfusion of the animals with 1% paraformaldehyde and 1% glutaraldehyde and polyethyleneglycol embedding of the brains, the analysis of sections processed immunocytochemically with an anti-GABA antiserum has revealed a moderate-to-dense labeling of the neurons of the dorsal part of the lateral geniculate complex in these species. Labeled cell bodies are small-sized, either rounded or fusiform and the GABA-positive dendrites emerging from them are not preferentially oriented in any particular direction. Quantitative studies in Vipera indicate that GABA-positive neurons make up about 14% of the population of neurons of the dorsal part of the lateral geniculate nucleus. Electron microscopy of specimens treated by either pre- or post-embedding techniques has confirmed that these cells corresponded to neurons. No glial cells were ever observed to be immunopositive. These GABA-positive neurons, characterized by the presence of pleiomorphic synaptic vesicles localized either in their perikaryon or more often in presynaptic dendrites, established symmetrical synaptic contacts. In this case, the latter were involved both pre- and postsynaptically in serial and, more rarely, in triadic arrangements, a synaptic organization specific to interneurons. The involvement of such GABA-positive neurons in local circuits is discussed.
