pubmed:abstractText
The supratrigeminal region (STR), a reticular zone capping the motor trigeminal nucleus (Tm), contains gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic and glycinergic neurons which send axons to the contralateral Tm (J. Comp. Neurol. 373 (1996) 498). In the present study we observed that some single synaptic terminals upon Tm motoneurons showed immunoreactivities (IRs) for both glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2). After injecting biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) into the STR, we further observed in the Tm contralateral to the BDA injection that some BDA-labeled axon terminals in close contact with Tm motoneurons showed both GAD- and GlyT2-IRs. Thus, the STR was indicated to send GABAergic/glycinergic axon terminals contralaterally to Tm motoneurons.
