    Eye movements are considered to be shifts of the visual axis. They are essentially two-dimensional, horizontal and vertical. In truth, however, eye movements must be considered rotations of the eyeball, since it is a rigid body. Therefore, eye movements are in fact three-dimensional: horizontal, vertical, and torsional around the visual axis. Since the rotation of a rigid body is non-commutative, the direction of the torsional component will be opposite when the orders of the horizontal and vertical rotations are reversed (Fick vs Helmholtz rotation). Voluntary eye movements, such as saccades, do not have torsional components and this phenomenon is known as Listing's law.We analyzed in detail the neural circuits involved in the execution of vertical saccades from the superior colliculus (SC) to the vertical ocular motoneurons in the cat, using intracellular recording and staining techniques. We found novel excitatory commissural connections between the symmetrical parts of the rostral SCs, where vertical saccades are represented. This finding strongly suggests that the excitatory commissural connections between the SCs are most likely involved in the regulation of pure vertical saccades by activating bilateral SCs simultaneously during vertical saccades and, for this reason, support Listing's law.

    The commissural connection between the superior colliculi(SCs) was considered to be inhibitory. However, we recently showed that there is also a strong excitatory commissural connection. Our electrophysiological study indicated that caudal tectoreticular neurons(TRNs) received monosynaptic inhibition, whereas rostral TRNs received monosynaptic excitation in addition to inhibition from the opposite rostral SC. Furthermore, medial and lateral TRNs received commissural excitation from the medial and lateral parts, respectively, of the contralateral rostral SC, and also received strong inhibition from the lateral and medial parts, respectively, of the contralateral SC. These electrophysiological findings indicate that the inhibitory commissural connection exists between the medial(lateral) SC representing upward(downward) saccades on one side and the lateral(medial) SC representing downward(upward) saccades on the other side. This pattern of reciprocal inhibition between the two SCs is very similar to that seen between coplanar anterior and posterior semicircular canal-related vestibular nucleus neurons. This similarity implies that the saccade system may use the same coordinate system as the semicircular canal system.

This region was Aldolase C positive and received the climbing fiber inputs from the contralateral inferior olive (medial accessory olive).

    To understand the functional role of the cerebellar oculomotor vermis (OMV) for control of saccadic eye movements, we analyzed input pathways from the superior colliculi (SCs) via mossy and climbing fibers to the OMV in the anesthetized cat, using laminar field analysis of evoked potentials in the cerebellar cortex, The OMV received mossy fiber inputs from both SCs via the ipsilateral dorsolateral pontine nucleus and the contralateral Nucl.reticularis tegmenti pontis, and also received climbing fiber inputs from both SCs via the contralateral medial accessory olive. Response patterns of inhibitory interneurons such as Golgi, basket and stellate cells and Purkinje cells were identified, while stimulating mossy and climbing fiber inputs from both SCs. Based on these findings, we will investigate response patterns of different cerebellar neurons during visually-guided saccadic eye movements in the trained monkey and reveal the neural mechanism of the OMV for control of eye movements.

    本研究は、サッケード眼球運動を訓練したサルにおいて、経路選択的シナプス遮断法を用いて特定回路を選択的に遮断し、その機能と障害の代償過程を解析し、サッケードの座標系が、従来言われている水平・垂直のデカルト座標系でなく、前庭半規管座標系であること、長い間不明であった随意性眼球運動のセントラルドグマと言われる「Listingの法則」の中枢神経機構を明らかにすることを目的とした。申請者らは、ネコの随意性サッケード系において、中脳上丘を介する脳幹水平・垂直サッケードの神経回路を同定し、上丘間興奮性交連結合回路(「Listingの法則」の神経基盤)を、細胞内記録とHRP細胞内染色の電気生理学的方法で明らかにした。この詳細に同定された神経回路に障害を起こし、その機能と代償過程を解析するため、伊佐、小林、渡辺により新たに開発された逆行性レンチウイルスベクター、順行性AAVベクターをサルの両側上丘に注入し、2重感染を起こして上丘交連細胞をラベルした。注入部位は、視覚刺激に対する電場電位を系統的に解析し、上丘を同定して注入部位を決定した。3週間後に脳を還流固定し、組織標本を作製し、染色された細胞を検討した。サルにおいて、初めて上丘間に交連細胞の存在することが明らかとなった。染色された細胞の数や染まり具合などから最適の注入量、注入部位を検討した。これにより注入条件を決めることができた。さらに、2頭目の実験では、サルに視覚誘導性サッケードを訓練した後、左右の上丘からユニットを記録し、上丘の運動地図を作成し、交連細胞が存在する、上丘頭側部を決定して、その部位に一側で逆行性のレンチウイルス、反対側に順行性のAAVベクタを注入した。この実験では、クロザピンの構造変異体(CNO)を注入して機能を遮断する予定で現在実験中である。

    To understand the functional role of the oculomotor fastigial nucleus (oFN) for control of saccades, we analyzed the inputs to and the output from the oFN using electrophysiological and anatomical methods. The projection from the oFN terminated densely in the area caudal to the abducens nucleus, but scarcely in the area rostral to it. Neurons in the NRG received strong excitation from the oFN, whereas neurons in the NRPc received almost no excitation. These data suggested that neurons in the NRG that project to the cervical MN are related to motor control of gaze (eye and head). In fact, NRG neurons received strong monosynaptic excitation from the contralateral superior colliculus and disynaptic excitation from the ipsilateral one.

    これまで左右の上丘間には強い交連結合は、主に抑制性であるとされてきたが、我々は強い興奮性結合があることを明らかにした。上丘の頭側部内側は上向き、外側は下向きサッケードを支配することが知られる。本年度は、左右上丘間の内側と外側間に存在する交連結合の性質を解析し、サッケード領域の出力細胞に対する対側上丘からの影響の違いを電気生理学的に解析した。実験はクロラロース麻酔したネコを用いて、上丘出力細胞より細胞内記録を行い対側上丘の内側と外側を電気刺激した効果を解析した。上丘出力細胞は、抑制性バースト細胞(IBN)領域またはフォレルH野に投射するかでサッケード細胞を同定した。上丘頭側内側にあるサッケード細胞は、頭側の内側からのみ興奮を受け、頭側外側のサッケード細胞は、対外側から興奮を受け、これらの細胞のほとんどが、同時にフォレルH野(垂直サッケードの下位中枢)にも投射していた。外側サッケード領域の出力細胞は、対側上丘内側から強い交連性抑制を受け、内側の出力細胞は対側外側から強い交連性抑制を受けるので、上向きは下向き、下向きは上向きのサッケードと相互に発現を抑えていることが明らかとなった。頭側のサッケード領域は、垂直性サッケードを起こす領域である。それ故、この部位の出力細胞は、対側の対称部位から強い交連性興奮を受け、かつ同側フォレルH野に投射していたことから、両側の細胞が同時に発火して、純垂直性サッケードを起こしていることが明らかとなった。
