Dorsal Spinocerebellar Tract


The main aim of the study was to investigate whether group II muscle afferents contribute to the inhibition of dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) neurons and thereby modulate information provided by these neurons in the cat.  

Recent studies have indicated that the glycine receptor antagonist strychnine and the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A) receptor antagonist bicuculline reduced the rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep-specific inhibition of sensory inflow via the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT).  

(1) Ipsilateral hemiataxia following dorsolateral medullary infarctions results from a lesion of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract and the inferior cerebellar peduncle conveying afferent information from the ipsilateral arm and leg.  

The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) provides a major mossy fiber input to the spinocerebellum, which plays a significant role in the control of posture and locomotion.  

All of them presented a small infarction on the lateral surface of the caudal medulla corresponding to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT).  

Previous work from this laboratory has shown that activity in the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) relates strongly to global hindlimb kinematics variables during passive displacements of the hindlimb.  

Neurons of the dorsal horn (mainly Clarke's column) make up a dorsal spinocerebellar tract and neurons of the ventral horn (mainly spinal border cells) are at the origin of a ventral spinocerebellar tract.  

Fibers labeled from unilateral injections into the paramedian lobule were found on the same side in the dorsal part of the lateral funiculus (DLF), corresponding to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT), but contralaterally in the ventral part of the lateral funiculus (VLF) and in the ventral funiculus (VF), corresponding to the ventral spinocerebellar tract (VSCT).  

Peripheral nerve-evoked potentials recorded in the cerebellum 35 yr ago inferred that sensory transmission via the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) is reduced occasionally and only during eye movements of active sleep compared with wakefulness or quiet sleep.  

dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) neurons receive converging sensory inputs from muscle, skin, and joint receptors and their cerebellar projection is a product of the spinal sensory processing of movement-related information.  

The use of 100 microm serial sections through the SCA2 patient's central somatosensory components showed that obvious neuronal loss occurred in nearly all of the relay stations of this system (Clarke's column; cuneate, external cuneate and gracile nuclei; spinal, principal and mesencephalic trigeminal nuclei; ventral posterior lateral and ventral posterior medial nuclei of the thalamus), whereas the majority of interconnecting fibre tracts (dorsal spinocerebellar tract; cuneate and gracile fascicles; medial lemniscus; spinal trigeminal tract, trigeminal nerve and mesencephalic trigeminal tract) displayed signs of atrophy accompanied by demyelinization.  

Until recently it was assumed that the information transmitted by the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) was organized to represent single muscles or single joints in the ipsilateral hindlimb.  

During the state of active sleep (AS), Clarke's column dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) neurons undergo a marked reduction in their spontaneous and excitatory amino acid (EAA)-evoked responses.  

The superficial dorsolateral column (DLC(0-300)) was included in this analysis because it was hypothesized that large dorsal spinocerebellar tract fibres could also be activated by SCS.  

dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) neurons transmit sensory signals to the cerebellum that encode global hindlimb parameters, such as the hindlimb end-point position and its direction of movement.  

The present study was performed to provide evidence that dynamic neural processes underlie the reduction in dorsal spinocerebellar tract and spinoreticular tract neuron activity that occurs during active sleep. To ascertain the effect of local inhibition on the spontaneous and glutamate-evoked spike discharge of sensory tract neurons, preliminary control tests were performed during the state of quiet wakefulness, where GABA or glycine was co-administered in a sustained fashion during pulsatile release of glutamate to dorsal spinocerebellar tract (n=3) or spinoreticular tract (n=2) neurons. Extracellular recording experiments combined with juxtacellular application of glutamate were then performed on 20 antidromically identified dorsal spinocerebellar tract and spinoreticular tract neurons in the chronic intact cat as a function of sleep and wakefulness. The glutamate-evoked activity of a group of 10 sensory tract neurons (seven dorsal spinocerebellar tract, three spinoreticular tract), which exhibited a significant decrease in their spontaneous spike activity during active sleep, was examined. In contrast, the glutamate-evoked activity of a second group of eight sensory tract neurons (four dorsal spinocerebellar tract, four spinoreticular tract), which exhibited a significant increase in their spontaneous spike activity during active sleep, was not significantly altered in a state-dependent manner.These data indicate that, during natural active sleep, a dynamic neural process is engaged onto certain dorsal spinocerebellar tract and spinoreticular tract neurons, which in turn dampens sensory throughput to higher brain centers..  

The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) system is considered in detail as a model system that may be considered as an end point for the processing of proprioceptive sensory information in the spinal cord.  

We tested this by recording from dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) and Purkinje cells under the same experimental conditions in which the hindlimbs of anesthetized cats were passively moved through a series of step-like movement cycles.

Spinocerebellar-tract cells in the dorsal horn receive synaptic connections from serotoninergic axons, but little is known about the relationships between serotoninergic axons and dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) cells in Clarke's column.  

This paper reports the effect of limb movement speed on dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) activity recorded while the cat hindlimb was passively moved through two types of foot trajectories (figure eight and step cycle) at different speeds.  

The transfer of the former is facilitated but that of the latter is either facilitated or depressed; it is facilitated via Clarke's column dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons and depressed via dorsal horn dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons.  

Among other areas, neurons were labeled in the central cervical nucleus, the nucleus centrobasalis, Clarke's nucleus, the dorsal horn dorsal spinocerebellar tract area, the spinal border region, and Stilling's nucleus.  

One week after a unilateral transection of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract at Th9-10, Py-IR in the Clarke's nucleus ipsilateral and caudal to the lesion was reduced by approximately 40%.

The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) of the thoracic cord (the thoracic DSCT) consists of uncrossed ascending axons originating from Clarke's column, marginal neurons of Clarke's column, and lamina V neurons, and crossed ascending axons originating from neurons in lamina VIII and the ventromedial part of lamina VII.

Effects of ionophoretic application of serotonin and of one of its agonists were tested on responses of dorsal horn dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons evoked by electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves. It is proposed that facilitatory actions assist in maintaining tonic discharges of dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons in some movements and that the selective control of group II input is used to correlate activity of spinal and supraspinal neurons. Both actions may be subserved by tight contacts between serotoninergic nerve fibres and dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons, which have been revealed in a parallel study..  

Contacts between serotoninergic nerve fibres and dorsal horn dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons were analysed in order to investigate the morphological basis of actions of serotonin upon dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons.

Spinocerebellar neurons that project in the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) receive mono- and polysynaptic inputs from specific sensory receptors in the hindlimb, and they project mossy fiber terminals to the cerebellar vermis.  

Monosynaptic connections from sensory receptors to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract are believed to have a significant role in the transmission of sensory information to the cerebellum. We explored this possibility by examining the responses of dorsal spinocerebellar tract neurons to inputs from muscle receptors. We concluded that both types of population response resulted from the muscle stretch and therefore the responses of dorsal spinocerebellar tract cells to these stimuli do not simply reflect the activity in specific classes of sensory receptors..

These results suggest that the ascending group I inhibitory pathway, formed by these interneurones, is associated specifically with the group I relay of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract in Clarke's column, rather than being conterminous with group I afferents, which project throughout the rostral lumbar and lowest thoracic segments..  

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) evoked by impulses in single group I muscle afferents were recorded in dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) neurons in the spinal cords of anesthetized cats.  

In recent years the traditional pathway for position sense in the lower extremities has been challenged and it has been proposed that in the upper spinal cord the relevant fibres ascend not in fasciculus gracilis but in the dorsolateral part of the lateral funiculus with the dorsal spinocerebellar tract. To determine whether this premise is correct we have re-examined the clinical findings of five patients with spinal cord lesions and 62 patients who had undergone medullary tractotomy at a level where the dorsal spinocerebellar tract overlies the spinal tract of V. Of the five patients with spinal cord lesions, four had interrupted dorsal columns but intact dorsal spinocerebellar tracts. Another patient with a severed dorsal spinocerebellar tract and an incomplete lesion of the dorsal columns had no loss of position or vibratory sense but possibly some tactile impairment. These observations do not support the premise that position sense from the lower extremities is carried by fibres of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract at any level but do support the traditionally accepted pathway for position sense.  

Axons considered to originate from these cells were located in the dorsal half of the lateral funiculus at the level of L2, intermingled with axons of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract originating at the levels of Clarke's column.  

On the basis of their projection and termination, it is proposed that the axons of these dorsal horn spinocerebellar tract neurones contribute to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT)..

The results of these studies show that nerve fibers in the ipsilateral dorsal column, the ipsilateral dorsal spinocerebellar tract, and the contralateral ventrolateral tracts with respect to the side of leg stimulation, contribute to cortical SEP's. A lesion of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract affected only the early waves (less than 30 msec) of the SEP from leg stimulation ipsilateral to the side of the lesion, whereas a solitary lesion of the ventrolateral tract caused changes primarily in the amplitude of later waves (greater than 30 msec) of the SEP produced by contralateral leg stimulation.
