Disease relevance of Olivary Nucleus

  • Since 3-AP causes both a profound loss of the climbing fiber input to the cerebellum derived from the inferior olivary nucleus, and the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons, 3-AP administration may provide a useful model of olivopontocerebellar atrophy-associated parkinsonism [1].
  • Diffuse light induced Fos-positive nuclei in the inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers of the stimulated retina and in the contralateral pretectal olivary nucleus [2].
  • Because SYP is a marker protein for presynaptic vesicles, presynaptic terminals in the inferior olivary nucleus seem to change their distribution during the course of olivary hypertrophy [3].
 

High impact information on Olivary Nucleus

  • In the brainstem, neurons in the lateral superior olivary nucleus and the anteroventral cochlear nucleus are transiently 5-HT immunolabeled [4].
  • The inferior olivary nucleus contained significant quantities of alpha 2, alpha 4, and gamma 1 transcripts, with the alpha 1, alpha 3, beta 2, beta 3, and gamma 2 mRNAs also present [5].
  • An antiserum directed against the human form of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) was utilized for immunohistochemical visualization of the distribution of this peptide in the inferior olivary nucleus and cerebellum of 2 monkey species (Saimiri sciureus, Macaca fascicularis) [6].
  • Following glutaraldehyde fixation, dense immunocytochemical staining was observed in cerebral cortical neurons, some cerebellar granule cells, hippocampal pyramidal cells, and neurons of the inferior olivary nucleus [7].
  • These findings suggest that glycine may be a neurotransmitter mediating binaural inhibition in certain SOC neurons and that the projection to the lateral superior olivary nucleus from the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body may be glycinergic [8].
