Abstract:
:Mesencephalic dopamine neurons from the embryonic mouse brain were dissociated, aggregated in vitro in the presence of dissociated cells from appropriate or inappropriate target neuron areas, and visualized by the Falck-Hillarp histofluorescence technique after exposure to 1 microM exogenous dopamine. When aggregated with the surrounding rostral mesencephalic tegmentum cells only or with the addition of rostral tectum cells, the dopamine neurons formed a dense dendritic arborization, but no axons were observed. In the presence of dopamine-neuron target cells from the corpus striatum, a dense axonal plexus characteristic of that formed in this area in vivo was observed. In contrast, in aggregates formed with target cells from the frontal cortex, branching fluorescent axons bearing irregularly spaced and shaped varicosities were found coursing through the neuropil, as is characteristic of the dopaminergic innervation to the frontal cortex in vivo. Only proximal dendrites were observed in the presence of these axonal target cells. Dopamine neurons cultured with inappropriate target cells from the occipital cortex did not form either extensive axonal or dendritic processes. Thus, the presence, type, and distribution of dopamine neuronal processes are dependent on the presence of appropriate target cells. The formation of unique patterns of neuronal processes by dissociated neurons in vitro suggests that the information necessary for this differentiation is intrinsic to the dopamine neurons and their target cells. This system provides a useful model with which to study basic mechanisms underlying neuronal recognition.
