Synapse development within the spinal trigeminal nucleus.

Abstract:

:Pars interpolaris of the spinal trigeminal nucleus of kittens has been studied with the electron microscope at birth and at several subsequent ages during the first month of life. Attention has been given to ultrastructural maturational changes that occur in this neuropil, especially events in synaptogenesis. The results of this investigation include the following observations: (1) the neuropil, even at the earliest ages studied (three-hour-old kittens), is strikingly mature, necessitating a quantitative assessment in order to determine subtle developmental changes in synaptic patterns; (2) the number of axoaxonic contacts at birth are few, and their emergence is essentially a postnatal phenomenon; (3) it appears that the immature Gray type II or symmetrical synapse possesses distinct cleft material and dense, parallel membrane specializations. Synaptic vesicle accumulation at this contact appears to occur after the membrane specializations have formed. A previous study by Kerr26 has shown a reduced potential for primary afferent reorganization with the spinal trigeminal nucleus when kittens are subjected to trigeminal rhizotomy after three days of age. Our observations on the development of axoaxonic synaptic arrangements in the neonatal period may provide an explanation for these earlier results.
