Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The development of the sensory innervation of the rat hindlimb was studied with special attention to the dorsal root ganglia and the lumbar plexus. Injections of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase were made into the hindlimb of 30 rat fetuses of gestational ages ranging from embryonic day 15-18. Additionally wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase was applied to the sciatic nerves of 8 neonatal rats and 3 adults. The saphenous nerves of 2 neonatal rats were labeled. Injections of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) into the hindlimb of the fetuses result in completely and partially labeled dorsal root ganglia. Partial labeling always concerns the rostral or caudal part of a dorsal root ganglion. The associated dorsal roots of partially labeled dorsal root ganglia are also partially labeled in a corresponding rostrocaudal fashion. Reconstructions of the labeled nerves following injections into the hindlimb suggested that the somata of the sensory neurons of a particular nerve can be restricted to the rostral or caudal half of a dorsal root ganglion. For example: the rostral half of the fourth lumbar dorsal root ganglion belongs to the femoral nerve and its caudal half to the sciatic nerve. The results of application of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase to the central ends of the cut sciatic and saphenous nerves in neonatal rats confirmed these observations. So the rostrocaudal organization in the dorsal root ganglia stems from the distribution pattern of the peripheral nerves. |
