Abstract:
:Previous cytoarchitectural and electron micrographic studies have indicated that the gustatory zone of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) may contain local circuit neurons. It is known that neurons of the caudal "visceroceptive" NST contain GABA, glutamic acid decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15), and GABA-transaminase (GABA-T; 4-aminobutyrate: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase; EC 2.6.1.19). The present study was conducted to determine whether or not neurons in the gustatory zone of the NST of rat contain GABA and the principle degradative enzyme of GABA, GABA-T. Transganglionic transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to identify chorda tympani (CT) nerve terminal fields. Immunohistochemical studies were combined with transport experiments to evaluate the organization of GABA immunoreactive neurons in CT terminal fields. Results show that GABA immunoreactive neurons and puncta are located within CT terminal fields. These neurons evince small ovoid morphologies resembling Golgi interneurons, and comprise an average of 18% of total neurons in CT terminal fields. Independent histochemical studies reveal that approximately 82% of GABA immunoreactive neurons within CT terminal fields exhibit GABA-T activity. Retrograde transport of HRP was used in additional studies to evaluate whether or not axons of putative GABAergic neurons project to the second-order central gustatory relay located in the caudal parabrachial nucleus (PBNc), to the caudal NST, or to regions surrounding the rostral or caudal NST. Combined studies indicate that GABA immunoreactive neurons in the gustatory NST do not project axons to the PBNc, to the caudal NST, or to regions adjacent to the rostral or caudal NST.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
