Effects of hypothalamic stimulation on activity of dorsomedial medulla neurons that respond to subdiaphragmatic vagal stimulation.

Abstract:

:1. Effects of hypothalamic stimulation on activity of dorsomedial medulla neurons that responded to subdiaphragmatic vagal stimulation were investigated in urethan-anesthetized rats. 2. Extracellular recordings were made from 231 neurons in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) that fired repetitively in response to single-pulse subdiaphragmatic vagal stimulation and from 320 neurons in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagal nerve (DMV) that responded antidromically to subdiaphragmatic vagal stimulation. The mean latencies of responses to subdiaphragmatic vagal stimulation were 90.3 +/- 17.1 ms (mean +/- SD) for NTS neurons, and 90.8 +/- 11.2 ms for DMV neurons. This indicated that both afferent and efferent subdiaphragmatic vagal fibers were thin and unmyelinated and had a conduction velocity of approximately 1 m/s. 3. In extracellular recordings from 320 DMV neurons, marked inhibition preceded the antidromic response and subdiaphragmatic vagal stimulation evoked orthodromic spikes in only a few neurons. 4. Intracellular recordings from 66 DMV neurons revealed inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) before the antidromic responses. These IPSPs suppressed spontaneous firing and prevented excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) from generating action potentials. 5. Stimulation in all hypothalamic loci studied, the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH), the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), and the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), induced responses with similar characteristics of excitation alone or excitation followed by inhibition in most NTS and DMV neurons. 6. No reciprocal effect of VMH and LHA stimulation was observed on NTS and DMV neurons. 7. Intracellular recordings from DMV neurons revealed monosynaptic EPSPs in response to stimulation of the VMH, the LHA, and the PVN. 8. PVN stimulation evoked significantly more responses in NTS and DMV neurons than VMH stimulation and more responses in DMV neurons than LHA stimulation. This suggests a difference in the number of connections between each hypothalamic site and the dorsomedial medulla. 9. The same dorsomedial medulla neurons were tested with VMH and LHA stimulation. The respective mean latencies of the antidromic and the orthodromic NTS neuron responses were 37.3 +/- 3.2 and 39.6 +/- 12.9 ms for VMH stimulation and 29.8 +/- 5.3 and 31.8 +/- 8.7 ms for LHA stimulation. The mean latencies of the orthodromic DMV neuron responses were 39.4 +/- 8.3 ms for VMH stimulation and 31.1 +/- 5.2 ms for LHA stimulation. The estimated conduction velocity from the VMH to the dorsomedial medulla was approximately 0.25 m/s and from the LHA it was approximately 0.33 m/s, which was significantly faster.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
