Table 1.
RC | V | RC/V | RL | Unknown | Total | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GAD67− | 16 (14) | 4 (3) | 5 (1) | 3 (2) | 0 | 28 (22) |
GAD67+ | 8 (7)* | 9 (6) | 7 (5) | 4 (4)† | 3 (3) | 31 (25) |
Values are numbers of responses from GAD67+ and GAD67− neurons recorded in the different rostral nucleus of the solitary tract (rNST) subdivisions: rostral central (RC), ventral (V), and rostral lateral (RL). A number of neurons were recorded in an area that could not clearly be defined as either RC or V (RC/V) or in an unknown location. In most cases, a given response represents a single neuron, but in 3 cases 2 distinct responses could be observed. Numbers in parentheses indicate the subset of neurons in a given subdivision with monosynaptic responses, as defined by jitters ≤ 300 μs. Monosynaptic responses could be recorded throughout the nucleus.
One of these neurons was between RC and RL;
one of these neurons was between RL and V.
