Abstract

Synchronization of network oscillation in spatially distant cortical areas is essential for normal brain activity. Precision in synchronization between hemispheres depends on the axonal conduction velocity, which is determined by physical parameters of the axons involved, including diameter, and extent of myelination. To compare these parameters in long-projecting excitatory and inhibitory axons in the corpus callosum, we used genetically modified mice and virus tracing to separately label CaMKIIα expressing excitatory and GABAergic inhibitory axons. Using electron microscopy analysis, we revealed that (i) the axon diameters of excitatory fibers (myelinated axons) are significantly larger than those of nonmyelinated excitatory axons; (ii) the diameters of bare axons of excitatory myelinated fibers are significantly larger than those of their inhibitory counterparts; and (iii) myelinated excitatory fibers are significantly larger than myelinated inhibitory fibers. Also, the thickness of myelin ensheathing inhibitory axons is significantly greater than for excitatory axons, with the ultrastructure of the myelin around excitatory and inhibitory fibers also differing. We generated a computational model to investigate the functional consequences of these parameter divergences. Our simulations indicate that impulses through inhibitory and excitatory myelinated fibers reach the target almost simultaneously, whereas action potentials conducted by nonmyelinated axons reach target cells with considerable delay.

Figures

Fig. 1 Differential expression of GFP and RFP signals in excitatory and inhibitory axons. A) The tracer BDA labels both inhibitory and excitatory axons in the corpus callosum in the contralateral side of the injection. White arrows show inhibitory (GAD + BDA) long-projection axons, arrowheads depict GAD immunoreactive but unlabeled with BDA axons with unknown origin, whereas yellow arrows show long-projection GAD immunonegative (presumed excitatory) axons. B) GFP is expressed in non-GAD positive (excitatory), whereas RFP is in GAD immunoreactive axons. C) Line profiles indicate that RFP and GFP expression is in separate neuronal profiles (left panel). Middle graph shows that GFP-expressing axons (excitatory) devoid GAD. In contrast, RFP is co-localized with GAD (right panel). Corresponding colored bars on A depicts the measured areas for each graph. Scale: A: 15 μm; B: 10 μm.

Fig. 4 Representation of the models for myelinated and unmyelinated axons. Parameters for the model were sourced from literature and experimental studies. Lengths of all axons were maintained equal for each individual simulation. The sections corresponding to the soma and nodes were incorporated with active channels to enable the elicitation of action potentials. The internodes only contained passive channels and had their membrane properties adjusted corresponding to the extent of myelination.

L2 and L200 indicate axons of total length 2 and 200 mm, respectively. Note that for the internodal length a non-monotonic relation is observed, wherein for very short lengths a positive correlation is observed, whereas for larger lengths this trend reverses. In C–F) the unmyelinated fibers do not undergo any changes and are displayed only for ease of comparison with the myelinated fibers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
