Differential GABAergic and Glycinergic Inputs of Inhibitory Interneurons and Purkinje Cells to Principal Cells of the Cerebellar Nuclei

Abstract: The principal neurons of the cerebellar nuclei (CN), the sole output of the olivo-cerebellar system, receive a massive inhibitory input from Purkinje cells (PCs) of the cerebellar cortex. Morphological evidence suggests that CN principal cells are also contacted by inhibitory interneurons, but the properties of this connection are unknown. Using transgenic, tracing, and immunohistochemical approaches in mice, we show that CN interneurons form a large heterogeneous population with GABA/glycinergic phenotypes, d… Show more

“…Different cell types within the LCN have distinct electrophysiological profiles(32, 36, 37, 40, 41). To characterize the electrophysiological properties of D1R neurons, we performed whole-cell patch clamp recordings on fluorescently identified neurons from acute cerebellar slices.…”

“…Interestingly, histamine H2 receptors, mediating the histamine-induced excitation on projection neurons, are only expressed in glutamatergic and glycinergic neurons (only in the ventral and intermediate part of FN) rather than GABAergic and GABA/glycinergic ones. Since glutamatergic and glycinergic neurons are principle projection neurons in the cerebellar nuclei, whereas GABAergic and GABA/glycinergic ones are nucleo-olivary neurons and interneurons [16,42], the differential expression of the H2 receptors accounts for why histamine exerts a selective action on projection neurons, but not interneurons in the cerebellar nuclei.…”

“…A pathway from the CbN to the granule cell layer has been identified, but a systematic examination of collaterals of premotor CbN principle neurons, thus constituting a corollary discharge pathway, had not been performed. The cerebellar nuclei contain at least three cell types: glutamatergic premotor principle output neurons, GABAergic and glycinergic interneurons, and GABAergic nucleo-olivary neurons (Chan-Palay, 1977; Uusisaari and Knöpfel, 2010; Husson et al, 2014). This cellular diversity underlines the importance of isolating specific nucleocortical populations for examination.…”
