AbstractThe expression of the three Trk receptors (TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC) in otolith-related neurons within the vestibular nuclei of adult Sprague-Dawley rats was examined immunohistochemically. Conscious animals were subjected to sinusoidal linear acceleration along either the anterior-posterior (AP) or interaural (IA) axis on the horizontal plane. Neuronal activation was defined by Fos expression in cell nuclei. Control animals, viz labyrinthectomized rats subjected to stimulation and normal rats that remained stationary, showed only a few sporadically scattered Fos-labeled neurons. Among experimental rats, the number of Fos-labeled neurons and their distribution pattern in each vestibular subnucleus in animals stimulated along the antero-posterior axis were similar to those along the interaural axis. No apparent topography was observed among neurons activated along these two directions. Only about one-third of the Trk-immunoreactive neurons in the vestibular nucleus expressed Fos. Double-labeled Fos/TrkA, Fos/TrkB and Fos/TrkC neurons constituted 85-98% of the total number of Fos-labeled neurons in vestibular nuclear complex and its subgroups x and y. Our findings suggest that Trk receptors and their cognate neurotrophins in central otolith neurons may contribute to the modulation of gravity-related spatial information during horizontal head movements. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
