Localization and Characterization of Substance P Binding Sites in Rat and Rabbit Eyes Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Vol. 32, No. 6, May 1991 Copyright © Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Localization and Characterization of Substance P Binding Sites in Rat and Rabbit Eyes Philippe Denis,*t Veronique Fardin4 Jean-Philippe Nordmann,t Pierre-Paul Elena,§ Laurent Laroche,-(- Henri Saraux,t and William Rostene* Specific and high-affinity binding sites for Substance P (SP) were found in eyes from albino rabbits and rats using an in vitro autoradiographic method with l2SI-Bolton Hunter SP (BHSP). Autoradiograms were generated by apposing 10-20/im-thick cryostat eye sections to 3H-Hyperfilm or liquid emulsion and quantified by means of image-analysis procedures. Kinetic studies showed that equilibrium was reached after a 75-min incubation at room temperature. In rat retina, specific binding corresponding to approximately 90% of total binding, was reversible, of high affinity (dissociation constant [Kd], 0.13 ± 0.02 nM). Half-time for dissociation of 125I-BHSP was about 15 min. I) n la be led SP and the two neurokinins (NK) A and B competed in a concentration-dependent manner for retinal sites labeled by 125I-BHSP with the following order of potencies: SP > NKA > NKB, in agreement with a pharmaco- logic profile of a SP receptor site. In both species, specific binding was found in the iris sphincter muscle, choroid, and retina. In rats, detectable amounts of SP-binding sites were also expressed in the corneal epithelium and iridial stroma. Quantitative analysis of the autoradiograms revealed that the highest densities of 125I-BHSP binding sites were localized in the iris sphincter muscle in rabbits and the inner retina in rats.

  • Affections of Uvea Affections of Uvea
    AFFECTIONS OF UVEA AFFECTIONS OF UVEA Anatomy and physiology: • Uvea is the vascular coat of the eye lying beneath the sclera. • It consists of the uvea and uveal tract. • It consists of 3 parts: Iris, the anterior portion; Ciliary body, the middle part; Choroid, the third and the posterior most part. • All the parts of uvea are intimately associated. Iris • It is spongy having the connective tissue stroma, muscular fibers and abundance of vessels and nerves. • It is lined anteriorly by endothelium and posteriorly by a pigmented epithelium. • Its color is because of amount of melanin pigment. Mostly it is brown or golden yellow. • Iris has two muscles; the sphincter which encircles the pupil and has parasympathetic innervation; the dilator which extends from near the sphincter and has sympathetic innervation. • Iris regulates the amount of light admitted to the interior through pupil. • The iris separates the anterior chamber from the posterior chamber of the eye. Ciliary Body: • It extends backward from the base of the iris to the anterior part of the choroid. • It has ciliary muscle and the ciliary processes (70 to 80 in number) which are covered by ciliary epithelium. Choroid: • It is located between the sclera and the retina. • It extends from the ciliaris retinae to the opening of the optic nerve. • It is composed mainly of blood vessels and the pigmented tissue., The pupil • It is circular and regular opening formed by the iris and is larger in dogs in comparison to man. • It contracts or dilates depending upon the light source, due the sphincter and dilator muscles of the iris, respectively.

  • Presynaptic Effects of Botulinum Toxin Type a on the Neuronally Evoked Response of Albino and Pigmented Rabbit Iris Sphincter and Dilator Muscles
    Presynaptic Effects of Botulinum Toxin Type A on the Neuronally Evoked Response of Albino and Pigmented Rabbit Iris Sphincter and Dilator Muscles Hitoshi Ishikawa,* Yoshihisa Mitsui,* Takeshi Yoshitomi,* Kimiyo Mashimo,* Shigeru Aoki,† Kazuo Mukuno† and Kimiya Shimizu* *Department of Ophthalmology, Kitasato University, School of Medicine, Sagamihara, Japan; †Department of Orthoptics and Visual Science, Kitasato University, School of Allied Health Sciences, Sagamihara, Japan Purpose: To investigate the effects of botulinum toxin type A (botulinum A toxin) on the autonomic and other nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerve terminals. Methods: The effects of botulinum A toxin on twitch contractions evoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS) were studied in isolated albino and pigmented rabbit iris sphincter and di- lator muscles using the isometric tension recording method. Results: Botulinum A toxin inhibited the fast cholinergic and slow substance P-ergic compo- nent of the contraction evoked by EFS in the rabbit iris sphincter muscle without affecting the response to carbachol and substance P. These inhibitory effects were more marked in the albino rabbit than in the pigmented rabbit. Botulinum A toxin (150 nmol/L) did not affect the twitch contraction evoked by EFS in the rabbit iris dilator muscle. Conclusions: These data indicated that botulinum A toxin may inhibit not only the acetyl- choline release in the cholinergic nerve terminals, but also substance P release from the trigeminal nerve terminals of the rabbit iris sphincter muscle. However, the neurotoxin has little effect on the adrenergic nerve terminals of the rabbit iris dilator muscle. Furthermore, the botulinum A toxin binding to the pigment melanin appears to influence the response quantitatively in the two types of irides.

  • Pupillometry: Psychology, Physiology, and Function
    journal of cognition Mathôt, S. 2018 Pupillometry: Psychology, Physiology, and Function. Journal of Cognition, 1(1): 16, pp. 1–23, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/joc.18 REVIEW ARTICLE Pupillometry: Psychology, Physiology, and Function Sebastiaan Mathôt Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, NL [email protected] Pupils respond to three distinct kinds of stimuli: they constrict in response to brightness (the pupil light response), constrict in response to near fixation (the pupil near response), and dilate in response to increases in arousal and mental effort, either triggered by an external stimulus or spontaneously. In this review, I describe these three pupil responses, how they are related to high-level cognition, and the neural pathways that control them. I also discuss the functional relevance of pupil responses, that is, how pupil responses help us to better see the world. Although pupil responses likely serve many functions, not all of which are fully under- stood, one important function is to optimize vision either for acuity (small pupils see sharper) and depth of field (small pupils see sharply at a wider range of distances), or for sensitivity (large pupils are better able to detect faint stimuli); that is, pupils change their size to optimize vision for a particular situation. In many ways, pupil responses are similar to other eye move- ments, such as saccades and smooth pursuit: like these other eye movements, pupil responses have properties of both reflexive and voluntary action, and are part of active visual exploration. Keywords: pupillometry; pupil light response; pupil near response; psychosensory pupil response; orienting response; eye movements Seeing is an activity.

The rays then pass through the transparent lens, which changes shape to fine-focus the image, a mechanism known as accommodation. The light continues through the fluid, or vitreous humor, within the eyeball and shines an upside-down image onto the retina lining. The retina contains over 120 million cone cells and about 7 million rod signals. All rights reserved Sequence of Vision Rods are scattered through the retina and respond to low levels of light, but do not differentiate colors. Cones are concentrated in the fovea, need brighter conditions to function, and distinguish colors and fine details. Nerve fibers from the rods and cones connect via intermediate retinal cells to the fibers that form the optic nerve. Through this, the image is transmitted to the visual cortex in the brain, where it is turned upright.

The parasympathetic innervation has been shown to vasodilate and increase choroidal blood flow, the sympathetic input has been shown to vasoconstrict and decrease choroidal blood flow, and the sensory input has been shown to both convey pain and thermal information centrally and act locally to vasodilate and increase choroidal blood flow. As the choroid lies behind the retina and cannot respond readily to retinal metabolic signals, its innervation is important for adjustments in flow required by either retinal activity, by fluctuations in the systemic blood pressure driving choroidal perfusion, and possibly by retinal temperature. The former two appear to be mediated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, via central circuits responsive to retinal activity and systemic blood pressure, but adjustments for ocular perfusion pressure also appear to be influenced by local autoregulatory myogenic mechanisms.

  • 2-Adrenoceptors in the Eye
    Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1058 _____________________________ _____________________________ α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors in the Eye Pharmacological and Functional Characterization BY ANNA WIKBERG MATSSON ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS UPPSALA 2001 Dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Faculty of Medicine) in Neuroscience presented at Uppsala University in 2001 ABSTRACT Wikberg-Matsson A. 2001. α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors in the Eye. Pharmacological and Functional Characterization. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1058. 66 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5077-6. α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors are involved in various physiological events in the eye: blood flow regulation, aqueous humor dynamics and pupil regulation. The α1- and α2- adrenoceptors can be further subdivided into six subtypes (α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A ,α2B, and α2C ). Currently available α1- and α2-adrenergic drugs are not selective for the different subtypes and some ocular adrenergics have undesirable side-effects, both local and systemic. A better understanding of the subtype distribution in the eye would be useful when designing new drugs with greater efficacy and fewer adverse effects; this applies especially to the treatment of glaucoma. The purpose of the thesis was therefore to identify and localize the different subtypes of α1- and α2- adrenoceptors in the eye. The identities of the α1-adrenoceptor subtypes were studied in various parts of pig and albino rabbit eyes by radioligand binding. In the pig retina and in the albino rabbit iris, ciliary body and retina, mixed populations of α1A- and α1B-adrenoceptors were localized. In the rabbit choroid only the α1A-adrenoceptor subtype was detected.
