Motor and somatosensory deficits following uni- and bilateral lesions of the cortex induced by aspiration or thermocoagulation in the adult rat.

Abstract:

:We have previously shown that lesions of the sensorimotor cortex induced by either thermocoagulation or aspiration produce different effects on axonal plasticity. We have now investigated whether these methods of lesion also influence the behavioral outcome. The behavioral effects of unilateral and bilateral lesions of the sensorimotor cortex induced by either aspiration or by thermocoagulation of pial blood vessels were examined in adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were tested to determine limb use asymmetry by analyzing (1) coordinated forelimb placement and (2) paw use preference when rearing. Their responsiveness to somatosensory stimulation was tested by analyzing (1) the latency to remove sticky tape on the ventral surface of the paw, and (2) vibrissae-stimulated forelimb placing. Behavioral tests were performed prior to surgery and on day 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 after surgery. Both unilateral lesions resulted in an over-reliance on the nonimpaired forelimb as early as 4 days after the surgery; functional recovery occurred after 16 days. Animals with bilateral lesions did not use either forelimb for support in postural support behaviors. However, this effect was more apparent in the animals with a thermocoagulatory lesion and, in contrast to the animals with an aspiration lesion, these animals did not show functional recovery. Animals with a unilateral aspiration, but not a thermocoagulatory lesion, showed a slowed response to tactile stimulation applied to the contralateral forelimb. After bilateral lesions, animals showed a slowed response to tactile stimulation applied to either forelimb at early time points after the lesion and recovery of function at later time points. These data indicate that, for the most part, lesions of the sensorimotor cortex by aspiration or thermocoagulation produce very similar effects on the behaviors examined in this study. However, unexpectedly, thermocoagulatory lesions induced a more severe (unilateral lesion) or prolonged (bilateral lesion) deficit in forelimb use than aspiration lesions. Conversely, the effect on tactile stimulation is more prominent after unilateral aspiration than thermocoagulatory lesions.
