| Popis: | The stomatogastric ganglion of lobsters (Homarus or Jasus) contains a large number of gamma-aminobutyric acid-immunoreactive processes originating from ten fibres in the single input nerve, the stomatogastric nerve. The cell bodies and axonal pathways of these ten fibres have been identified using gamma-aminobutyric acid immunohistochemistry in combination with Lucifer Yellow staining (double labelling) and nickel chloride backfilling (selective gamma-aminobutyric acid immunoinhibition). It is shown that eight gamma-aminobutyric acid-immunoreactive neurons project to the stomatogastric ganglion: gamma-aminobutyric acid neurons 1 and 2, found posterior to the oesophageal ganglion, entering the stomatogastric nerve via the oesophageal nerve as well as sending an axonal branch into each superior oesophageal nerve; gamma-aminobutyric acid neurons 3 and 4, found anterior to the oesophageal ganglion, each sending an axonal branch into each inferior oesophageal nerve to reach the stomatogastric nerve via the commissural ganglion and the superior oesophageal nerve; and gamma-aminobutyric acid neurons 5 and 6, found in each commissural ganglion, projecting into the stomatogastric nerve via the inferior oesophageal nerve, the oesophageal ganglion and the oesophageal nerve. These gamma-aminobutyric acid-immunoreactive neurons were also characterized by electrophysiological methods coupled with Lucifer Yellow labelling, and their picrotoxin-sensitive effects on several stomatogastric ganglion neurons were demonstrated. The present results provide a firm basis for further studies concerning the physiological significance of one class of neurochemically-defined input neurons to stomatogastric ganglion networks. |
