The monosynaptic connection between muscle spindle Ia afferents and motoneurones is one of the most extensively studied reflex pathways in the central nervous system. Physiological evidence has pointed to glutamate as the fast transmitter in this synaptic connection. In this study of the spinal cord segment C2, we used dual labelling with cholera toxin subunit B-horseradish peroxidase (B-HRP) and postembedding immunohistochemistry to show that group Ia primary afferent boutons synapsing on retrogradely labelled central cervical nucleus (CCN) neurones and motoneurones are enriched in glutamate-like immunoreactivity (LI). All double-labelled Ia terminals studied could be classified as S-type (CCN neurones and motoneurones) or M-type (motoneurones) boutons.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D009470 Muscle Spindles Skeletal muscle structures that function as the MECHANORECEPTORS responsible for the stretch or myotactic reflex (REFLEX, STRETCH). They are composed of a bundle of encapsulated SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS, i.e., the intrafusal fibers (nuclear bag 1 fibers, nuclear bag 2 fibers, and nuclear chain fibers) innervated by SENSORY NEURONS.
