| Description | Journal: Somatosensory & motor research Attempts were made to determine the hypoglossal sensory inputs to the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) through the spinal cord. Wheatgerm agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA:HRP) was injected into the cat hypoglossal nerve. HRP-labeled fibers, predominantly derived from the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves, were observed to terminate in lamina I of the upper cervical spinal cord. A few fibers were also distributed to laminae IV-V and VII-VIII ipsilaterally. WGA:HRP injection into the lateral portion of the PBN also resulted in retrograde labeling in lamina I with ipsilateral predominance. Light-microscopic data raised the possibility of a relay of hypoglossal sensory information to the PBN in lamina I of the cervical spinal cord. In order to confirm the spinal relay, electron-microscopic observations were carried out on lamina I of $C_{1}$ spinal cord after sectioning of the hypoglossal nerve and WGA:HRP injection into the lateral portion of the PBN on the same side in each animal. It was of particular interest that degenerated hypoglossal afferent fibers made synaptic contacts with lamina I neurons, which were retrogradely labeled with HRP. |
