Gravity influences the development of inputs from the brain to lumbar motoneurons in the rat.

Abstract:

:We investigated the influence of gravity on the maturation of electrical properties of lumbar motoneurons and the development of their inputs from ventral descending pathways, which are important for the control of posture and locomotion. Using electrophysiological approaches in the in vitro brain stem-spinal cord preparation of neonatal rats born and reared in hypergravity field we demonstrate that: (1) the postnatal development of descending inputs to lumbar enlargement was reduced in animals submitted to hypergravity; (2) similar developmental pattern of basic electrical properties observed between motoneurons of hypergravity and control animals could not account for the changes in descending inputs. We concluded that gravity was critical to shape development of the supraspinal afferents in the lumbar spinal cord throughout the postnatal period.
