Abstract | We examined the functional maturation of canal-related brainstem neurons in Sprague-Dawley rats at postnatal day (P) 1 to adult. Conscious animals were subjected to cycles of angular acceleration and deceleration so as to selectively activate hair cells of the horizontal semicircular canals. Brainstem neurons were monitored for c-fos expression by immune-hybridization histochemistry as an indicator of neuronal activation. Fos-immunoreactive canalrelated neurons were identifiable from P4 onwards in the vestibular nucleus and downstream vestibular relay stations, propositus hypoglossal nucleus, and inferior olive. In the vestibular nucleus and prepositus hypoglossal nucleus, the number of canal-related neurons increased progressively with age, reaching the adult level by P21. Those in the inferior olive increased in number from P4to P14 but decreased significantly afterwards until adulthood. The topography was not clear in the vestibular nucleus and pre-positus hypoglossal nucleus. Canal-related neurons in P4 -7 rats were spread throughout the rostrocaudal length of each subnucleus but clusters of canal-related neurons tended to form within specific subnuclei by P21. These were concentrated in the caudal halves of medial and spinal vestibular nuclei and the rostral parts of superior vestibular nucleus and prepositus hypoglossal nucleus. In the inferior olive, the topography was evident early in the course of development. Canal-related neurons were exclusively located in four subnuclei: dorsal medial cell column, dorsal cap, subnucleus A, and subnucleus C, but not in other subnuclei. Taken together, our data revealed the developmental profile of neuronal subpopulations within the horizontal canal system, thus providing an internal neural representation for postnatal coding of horizontal head rotations in spatial perception. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. | ||||
