Disease relevance of Vestibular Nuclei

 

High impact information on Vestibular Nuclei

  • Synaptic plasticity in the medial vestibular nuclei: role of glutamate receptors and retrograde messengers in rat brainstem slices [6].
  • This resulted in a complete lack of Fos labeling in the vestibular nuclei and the inferior olive, and a significant reduction in labeling in other nuclei in the off-axis condition, indicating that these nuclei have a significant labyrinth-sensitive component to their Fos labeling [7].
  • The effects of thiamine (B1) deficiency on local CMRglu (LMCRglu) in the vestibular nuclei were studied with the 14C-2-deoxyglucose autoradiographic method in awake asymptomatic and symptomatic rats [8].
  • In parallel with the modifications in synaptic plasticity, we observed that the expression patterns and localizations of mGluR5 and mGluR1 in the medial vestibular nuclei (MVN) changed during postnatal development [9].
  • The changes in GABA receptor efficacy after UL are therefore not due to the vestibular de-afferentation itself, but are instead due to the imbalance in excitability of the vestibular nuclei of the lesioned and intact sides, and the enhanced commissural inhibition of the ipsi-lesional MVN cells that follows UL [10].

Gene context of Vestibular Nuclei

  • In vestibular nuclei, the NR1 subunit mRNA was found in various populations of neurons [12].
  • Calretinin levels in the vestibular nuclei, increased significantly between birth and postnatal day (P) 45 [24].
  • We investigated whether three calcium-binding proteins, calretinin, parvalbumin, and calbindin, could identify specific aspects of the postnatal development of the rat lateral (LVN) and medial (MVN) vestibular nuclei and their vestibular and cerebellar connections [24].
  • In the VN, Calb+ PVA terminations were restricted to the superior, the ventral part of the lateral, the lateral portion of the medial, and the inferior vestibular nuclei [19].
  • PKC delta-immunolabeled axons also terminated within the caudal medial and descending vestibular nuclei (MVN and DVN, respectively), the parasolitary nucleus (Psol), and the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi (NPH) [25].
