Localization of Glutamate-immunoreactive Neural Elements in the Dog Basilar Pons
초록
Glutamate is a putative excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The present study utilizing monoclonal antibodies against fixative-modified glutamate analyzed the distribution of glutamate-immunoreactive neuronal elements in the dog basilar pons. The glutamatergic neurons were present throughout the rostrocaudal extent of the basilar pons, predominantly to the medial and ventral subdivisions. Labelled cells were relatively sparse in the midline region of the medial nucleus and most lateral area of the lateral nucleus. The majority of glutamate-immunoreactive neuronal somata in the basilar pons was multipolar-shaped, and the size was in the range of 15-25
