Abstract:
:The deep dorsal horn represents a major site for the integration of spinal sensory information. The bulbospinal monoamine transmitters, released from serotonergic, noradrenergic, and dopaminergic systems, exert modulatory control over spinal sensory systems as does acetylcholine, an intrinsic spinal cord biogenic amine transmitter. Whole cell recordings of deep dorsal horn neurons in the rat spinal cord slice preparation were used to compare the cellular actions of serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine on dorsal root stimulation-evoked afferent input and membrane cellular properties. In the majority of neurons, evoked excitatory postsynaptic potentials were depressed by the bulbospinal transmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Although, the three descending transmitters could evoke common actions, in some neurons, individual transmitters evoked opposing actions. In comparison, acetylcholine generally facilitated the evoked responses, particularly the late, presumably N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated component. None of the transmitters modified neuronal passive membrane properties. In contrast, in response to depolarizing current steps, the biogenic amines significantly increased the number of spikes in 14/19 neurons that originally fired phasically (P < 0.01). Together, these results demonstrate that even though the deep dorsal horn contains many functionally distinct subpopulations of neurons, the bulbospinal monoamine transmitters can act at both synaptic and cellular sites to alter neuronal sensory integrative properties in a rather predictable manner, and clearly distinct from the actions of acetylcholine.
