Movement-related discharge in the cerebellar nuclei persists after local injections of GABA(A) antagonists.

Abstract:

:Limb movement-related neurons in the cerebellar nuclei (CN) typically produce bursts of discharge in association with movement. Consequently, given the inhibitory nature of the Purkinje cell (PC) projection to CN, it is puzzling that only a minority of movement-related PCs pause; the majority burst. Some of the movement-related CN activity may be the result of excitation from collaterals of mossy and climbing fiber projections to the cerebellar cortex. The only other input to CN is diffuse and neuromodulatory, from locus ceruleus and raphe nuclei. To investigate the role of the excitatory mossy fiber input, single units in CN were recorded in macaque monkeys during the performance of reaching and manipulation tasks, before and after blocking the PC input with local microinjections of GABA(A) antagonists (bicuculline or SR95531). After these injections, the movement-related modulation of CN discharge was greater and began earlier, compared with the modulation in the preinjection group of neurons. These observations indicate that an important excitatory drive is provided by extracerebellar inputs to CN, most likely from collaterals of mossy fibers. PCs may serve primarily to regulate this activity, by either pausing or bursting as necessary.
