项目摘要

Neuronal organization of the hippocampal formation is traditionally based on the neuronal types defined by classical morphological method such as Golgi impregnation. However recent progress in immunocytochemistry and other methods revealing chemical nature of neuronal elements makes it possible to define chemical subpopulations of neurons, which are not necessarily corresponding to classical morphologically defined neuronal types. In the present project we are intending combined light and electron microscopic analyses of immunocytochemically defined neurons in the hippocampal formation. In this project we concentrated on two topics, quantitative analysis of GABAergic neurons in the hippocampus in the rat and mouse, and characterization of some types of neurons containing calcium binding proteins such as parvalbumin and calretinin. The numbers of chemically defined neurons in the rat and mouse hippocampii have been estimated by a stereological method, optical disector, which revealed th … More e GABAergic neuronal organization of each region and layer in the hippocampus. The areal and laminar distribution of each group of cells shows prominent differences, indicating that the cellular composition was different among regions and from layer to layer. In addition to quantitative disector analyses, we also notice followings ;1) There are astonishing species differences in the calretinin immunoreactivity of the principal neurons of the dentate hilus, mossy cells, which were calretinin positive at the ventral level in the mouse, hamster, gerbil and laboratory shrew whereas they were negative in rat and guinea pig. However, at the dorsal level mossy cell were calretinin negative even in the mouse, hamster, gerbil and laboratory shrew, showing prominent dorsoventral difference in their chemical properties.(2) Parvalbumin containing GABAergic neurons were revealed to make numerous chemical synapses and gap junctions with one another, indicating dual interactions among them and their presumed critical roles in the hippocampal gamma synchronized oscillation.

海马形成的神经元组织传统上是基于通过经典形态学方法（例如高尔基体浸渍）定义的神经元类型。但是，免疫细胞化学和其他揭示神经元元素的化学性质的方法的最新进展使得定义神经元的化学亚群，这不一定与经典的形态学定义的神经元类型相对应。在目前的项目中，我们是海马形成中免疫细胞化学定义神经元的旨在合并的光和电子显微镜分析。在这个项目中，我们集中在两个主题上，对大鼠和小鼠海马中的GABA能神经元进行定量分析，以及对某些类型的含有钙结合蛋白的神经元（如白蛋白和calletin）的表征。通过一种立体论方法估算了大鼠和小鼠海马中化学定义的神经元的数量，光学谱图揭示了每个区域的更多e Gabaergic神经元组织，并在海马中层。每组细胞的面积和层流分布都显示出明显的差异，表明细胞组成在区域之间以及层之间都不同。除了定量二元分析外，我们还注意到以下； 1）齿状hilus的主要神经元的calletin免疫反应性存在惊人的物种差异，苔藓细胞，苔藓细胞在小鼠，hamster，gerbil和Laboration shrew and and ane eyea and yealea pighea and and and andea is calletin呈阳性。然而，在背层的苔藓细胞中，即使在老鼠，仓鼠，沙鼠和实验室中，也显示出其化学特性的明显背腹差异。（2）含有含有gabaga能神经元的白蛋白素的背腹差异，以使其与另一种化学突触和差异相互作用，并与它们相互作用，并在其上进行了批判性的症状，并与他们的差异进行了批判性互动，并构成了杂物症状，并构成了杂物症状，并构成了杂物症状，并构成了杂物症状，并构成了杂物症状的杂物。同步振荡。较少的
