  • Central Neurocircuits Regulating Food Intake in Response to Gut Inputs—Preclinical Evidence
    nutrients Review Central Neurocircuits Regulating Food Intake in Response to Gut Inputs—Preclinical Evidence Kirsteen N. Browning * and Kaitlin E. Carson Department of Neural and Behavioral Sciences, Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey, PA 17033, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-717-531-8267 Abstract: The regulation of energy balance requires the complex integration of homeostatic and hedonic pathways, but sensory inputs from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are increasingly recognized as playing critical roles. The stomach and small intestine relay sensory information to the central nervous system (CNS) via the sensory afferent vagus nerve. This vast volume of complex sensory information is received by neurons of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) and is integrated with responses to circulating factors as well as descending inputs from the brainstem, midbrain, and forebrain nuclei involved in autonomic regulation. The integrated signal is relayed to the adjacent dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV), which supplies the motor output response via the efferent vagus nerve to regulate and modulate gastric motility, tone, secretion, and emptying, as well as intestinal motility and transit; the precise coordination of these responses is essential for the control of meal size, meal termination, and nutrient absorption. The interconnectivity of the NTS implies that many other CNS areas are capable of modulating vagal efferent output, emphasized by the many CNS disorders associated with dysregulated GI functions including feeding. This review will summarize the role of major CNS centers to gut-related inputs in the regulation of gastric function Citation: Browning, K.N.; Carson, with specific reference to the regulation of food intake.

  • A Concise Historical Perspective of the Area Postrema Structure and Function
    https://doi.org/10.1590/0004-282X20190118 HISTORICAL NOTE A concise historical perspective of the area postrema structure and function Uma perspectiva histórica concisa da estrutura e função da área postrema Thiago Ferreira Simões DE SOUZA1 ABSTRACT First described by Retzius at the end of the 19th century, the structure in the posterior medulla oblongata, then named area postrema, underwent an intense investigation into its function in the decades that followed. Findings, mainly in animal studies, have partially elucidated its role as an emetic center in the central nervous system. In the second half of the 20th century, this function was associated with reports of syndromes characterized by uncontrollable nausea and vomiting related to structural damage in the area postrema, mainly in the context of demyelinating diseases. At the beginning of the 21st century, the so-called area postrema syndrome has been consolidated as a diagnostic factor in diseases related to the spectrum of neuromyelitis optica, more than 100 years after its first description. Keywords: Area postrema; nausea; vomiting; history of medicine; neuromyelitis optica. RESUMO Descrita pela primeira vez por Retzius no final do século XIX, a estrutura na medula oblonga posterior, então nomeada de área postrema, passou por intensa investigação quanto à sua função nas décadas seguintes. Achados sobretudo em estudos com animais elucidaram parcialmente sua função como centro emético no sistema nervoso central. Na segunda metade do século XX, tal função foi associada a relatos de síndromes caracterizadas por náuseas e vômitos incoercíveis relacionadas a lesões estruturais na área postrema, principalmente no contexto das doenças desmielinizantes. Já no início do século XXI, a então chamada síndrome da área postrema se consolida como fator diagnóstico nas doenças relacionadas ao espectro da neuromielite óptica, mais de 100 anos sua primeira descrição.

There is also a chemoreceptor trigger zone in the floor of the fourth ventricle in the area postrema which influences the vomiting center.

CT scan showed a solitary brainstem metastasis without hydrocephalus and he was treated with radiotherapy with resolution of his vomiting after four weeks. At post mortem three months later a metastasis was found in the right middle cerebellar peduncle and lateral tegmentum of the pons; there was no pathological change in the area of the vomiting center or area postrema. It is postulated that this lesion caused projectile vomiting because of involvement of either afferent or efferent projections to the vomiting center.

  • The Human Area Postrema: Clear-Cut Silhouette and Variations Shown in Vivo
    CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg 122:989–995, 2015 The human area postrema: clear-cut silhouette and variations shown in vivo Pierluigi Longatti, MD,1 Andrea Porzionato, MD, PhD,2 Luca Basaldella, MD,1 Alessandro Fiorindi, MD, PhD,1 Pietro De Caro, Eng,3 and Alberto Feletti, MD, PhD1 1Department of Neurosurgery, Treviso Hospital, University of Padova; and Departments of 2Human Anatomy and 3Information Engineering, University of Padova, Italy OBJECT The human area postrema (AP) is a circumventricular organ that has only been described in cadaveric speci- mens and animals. Because of its position in the calamus scriptorius and the absence of surface markers on the floor of the fourth ventricle, the AP cannot be clearly localized during surgical procedures. METHODS The authors intravenously administered 500 mg fluorescein sodium to 25 patients during neuroendoscopic procedures; in 12 of these patients they explored the fourth ventricle. A flexible endoscope equipped with dual observa- tion modes for both white light and fluorescence was used. The intraoperative fluorescent images were reviewed and compared with anatomical specimens and 3D reconstructions. RESULTS Because the blood-brain barrier does not cover the AP, it was visualized in all cases after fluorescein sodium injection. The AP is seen as 2 coupled leaves on the floor of the fourth ventricle, diverging from the canalis centralis medullaris upward. Although the leaves normally appear short and thick, there can be different morphological patterns. Exploration using the endoscope’s fluorescent mode allowed precise localization of the AP in all cases. CONCLUSIONS Fluorescence-enhanced inspection of the fourth ventricle accurately identifies the position of the AP, which is an important landmark during surgical procedures on the brainstem.

  • Brain Atlas of the Japanese Eel: Comparison to Other Fishes
    Mem. Fac. Integrated Arts and Sci., Hiroshima Univ., Ser. IV, Vol. 29 1-25, Dec. 2003 Brain Atlas of the Japanese Eel: Comparison to Other Fishes T. Mukuda1, 2 and M. Ando1* 1 Laboratory of Integrative Physiology, Faculty of Integrated Arts and Sciences, Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima 739-8521, Japan. 2 Division of Morphological Analysis, Department of Functional, Morphological and Regulatory Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Yonago, Tottori 683-8503, Japan. ABSTRACT The whole brain atlas of the eel was constructed in the first place by Klüver-Barréra’s staining. Eighty one nuclei and thirty fiber tracts were identified in the present study. Basically, the brain topology of the eel was similar to that of the rainbow trout, the goldfish, the zebrafish, and the catfish. However, some details differed from those of other teleosts. The parvocellular preoptic nucleus (PP) was not subdivided, whereas the anterior PP is distinguished from the posterior part in the zebrafish and the rainbow trout. The intermediate thalamic nucleus was not distinguished, whereas it is identified in the zebrafish, the goldfish, and the rainbow trout. The paraventricular organ (PVO) was single, while paired PVOs are observed in the zebrafish. The torus semicircularis (TS) was smaller than that in the goldfish and rainbow trout. The cell size of the nucleus of medial longitudinal fascicle (NMLF) in the tegmentum was larger than that in the glass knifefish and the zebrafish. The protrusion of the nucleus lateralis valvulae (NLV) into the mesencephalic ventricle (VMes) was larger than that in the zebrafish and the rainbow trout. The valvula cerebelli was smaller than those in the goldfish and the zebrafish.
