家兔眶回皮层对内膝体神经元电活动下行抑制性及易化性影响的研究

实验使用16只家免,静脉注射三碘季铵酚麻痹动物,记录内膝体(MGB)单个神经元对于短声刺激的放电反应和自发放电活动。电刺激大脑眶回皮层时,在92个对短声刺激具有放电反应的MGB神经元中,25个神经元的放电反应受到抑制(占27.2％),14个神经元的电活动受到易化影响(占15.2％);15个具有自发放电活动的神经元全部受到抑制性作用。这种具有抑制和易化效应的眶回皮层刺激点分布较为集中。刺激眶回皮层的相邻两点,可以对MGB同一神经元的电活动分别产生性质完全不同的抑制及易化效应。由于存在短潜伏期(2及3ms)的眶回下行作用,作者认为可能存在着“眶回-内膝体”的直接通路。用2％盐酸普鲁卡因阻断大脑嗅鼻沟后缘听觉皮层(ACBRS区),可使具有较长潜伏期的眶回易化效应消失,因而眶回对于MGB的影响也可能经由“眶回-ACBRS区-内膝体”环路。     

STUDY OF DESCENDING INHIBITORY AND FACILITORY EFFECT OF THE ORBITAL CORTEX ON THE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGES OF MEDIAL GENICULATE BODY (MGB) NEURONS IN RABBITS

Experiments were performed on 16 rabbits immobilized with flaxedil. The recording of spontaneousdischarges and the discharges of single MGB neurons caused by clicks showed that when the cerebral-orbital cortex was stimulated, of 92 MGB neurons responding to clicks, 25 units (27.2%) were inhibited,14 units (15.2%) werw facilitated, and 15 units with spontaneous discharges were completely inhibited.The topographical distribution of stimulated points with such inhibitory and facilitory effect is quite con-centrated on the orbital cortex. Stimulation of two adjacent points of the orbital cortex could respec-tively result in different kinds of inhibitory and facilitory effect on discharges of a same MGB neuron.Due to the existence of this descending effect with a short latent period (2-3 ms), the authors have reasonto believe that there might be an "orbital cortex-MGB" direct pathway. Moreover, application of 2%procaine to block the auditory cortex behind the rhinal sulcus (ACBRS) could abolish the facilitor     

STUDY OF INHIBITORY EFFECT OF AMYGDALOID STIMULATION ON AUDITORY RESPONSE OF MEDIAL GENICULATE BODY(MGB) AND ANALYSIS OF TRANSMISSIVE PATHWAY OF THE SAID EFFECT

Experiments performed on 103 rabbits immobilized with Flaxedil, and the recording of the electrical discharges of single MGB neuron caused by clicks, burst or sustained tone showed marked inhibition of the reaction of 47 out of 75 (62.7%) MGB units responding to sound stimuli, when the amygdaloid complex was stimulated. The latent period of such an inhibitory effect was 5-12 msec and its duration about 2-13 msec. Evoked responses with the latency of 1-2 msec for the stimulation of medial, central and lateral nuclei of amygdala could be recorded from the temporal and parietal cortex. The largest response was recorded from Woolsey's AI area of the temporal cortex. Stimulation of the Woolsey's AI auditory area could also result in a distinct inhibition of the spontaneous as well as the evoked discharges of MGB neurons in response to sound stimulation. Moreover, application of 1% procaine to the surface of auditory cortex could block the inhibitory effect of the amygdala on the MGB neurons. Based on the fac     

刺激杏仁复合体对内膝体单位听反应的抑制性影响及其途径的分析

实验使用113只家兔。静脉注射三碘季胺酚,麻痹动物。记录内膝体单个神经元对于短声、短串声及短纯音的反应。当刺激杏仁复合体不同部位时,75个对短声有反应的内膝体神经元中有47个单位的反应受到了完全抑制(占62.7％)。这种抑制性影响的潜伏期为5—15毫秒,时程约为2—13毫秒。刺激杏仁核群的内侧核、中央核、外侧核时,在大脑的颞区及顶区皮层可以记录到潜伏期为1—2毫秒的诱发电位。最大振幅的诱发电位出现在Woolsey氏AI区。刺激Woolsey AI区同样能够抑制内膝体神经元对于声刺激的反应活动。此外,以1％普鲁卡因局部施加在听区皮层可以阻断刺激杏仁核群对于内膝体神经元放电的抑制性影响。基于以上事实,作者认为杏仁复合体对于内膝体单位活动的抑制影响可能是通过杏仁复合体——听区皮层——内膝体环路。本文并对这种抑制性影响的生物学意义进行了讨论。
