Abstract:
:The immunocytochemical localization of the enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) was examined in the guinea pig organ of Corti to determine if both lateral and medial systems of efferents would show immunoreactive labeling for this specific enzyme marker of cholinergic neurons. Cochleae were also examined after lesion of efferents to determine if ChAT-like immunoreactivity is confined to efferents. ChAT-like immunoreactivity was seen in the inner spiral bundle, tunnel spiral bundle and by the bases of inner hair cells corresponding to the lateral system of efferents. ChAT-like immunoreactivity was also seen in crossing fibers and puncta at the bases and by the nuclei of outer hair cells corresponding to the medial system of efferents. With the use of video enhanced contrast microscopy more than 9 ChAT-like immunoreactive puncta at the bases of outer hair cells could be resolved. In cochleae examined 6 weeks after ipsilateral lesion of efferents, no ChAT-like immunoreactivity was observed. These results add strong evidence that acetylcholine is a transmitter of both the medial and lateral systems of efferents.
