Abstract:
:We investigated the potential role of rostral-caudal and dorsal-ventral subdivisions of the early rostral brain by relating these subdivisions to the early patterning of neuron cell bodies and their axon projections. The earliest neurons were mapped using the lipophilic axon tracers diI and diO on embryos fixed on embryonic days 9.5-10.5 (E9.5-E10.5); neuromeric boundaries were marked by diO. The tracts were small in number, were organized orthogonally (2 dorsal-ventral and 4 rostral-caudal), and originated from groups of cell bodies which we term "sources." Two parallel longitudinal axon systems, one dorsal (the tract of the postoptic commissure and the mesencephalic tract of the trigeminal nerve) and one ventral (the mammillotegmental tract and the medial longitudinal fasciculus), projected caudally from the prosencephalon into the rhombencephalon. We argue that the dorsal longitudinal pathway marked the boundary between the alar and basal plates along the entire neuraxis. The dorsal-ventral axons coursed circumferentially and either crossed the midline (forming the posterior and ventral tegmental commissures) or turned caudally without crossing the midline. The dorsal-ventral axons were not generally restricted to the interneuromeric boundaries, as others have suggested. Earlier, all neighboring neurons projected their axons together; later, nearby neurons projected into different pathways. Some tracts originated in single neuromeres, while other tracts had origins in two or more neuromeres. The dorsal longitudinal axons altered course at several of the borders, but the ventral longitudinal axons did not. In summary, the early subdivisions appeared to influence some, but not all, aspects of tract formation.
