Abstract
NMDAR1- and GluR2/3-like immunoreactive(LI) neurons were found in the oculomotor nucleus, trochlear nucleus, trigeminal motor nucleus, abducens nucleus, facial nucleus, ambiguus nucleus, hypoglossal nucleus, Edinger- Westphal (E-W) nucleus, superior salivary nucleus, dorsal motor nucleus of vagus and the ventral horn of the spinal cord; but NMDAR1-LI and GluR2/3-LI fibers and terminals were found in oculomotor nucleus, Edinger-Westphal (E-W) nucleus, trochlear nucleus, trigeminal motor nucleus and dorsal motor nucleus of vagus. GABA_(A)Rbeta subunit-LI fibers and terminals could be seen at all of nuclei as mentioned above, in the trigeminal motor nucleus, ambiguus nucleus and ventral horn of the spinal cord, GABA_(A)Rbeta subunit-LI neurons were observed. GABA_(A)R alpha subunit-LI neurons were mainly encounted in ambiguus nucleus, hypoglossal nucleus, dorsal motor nucleus of vagus and ventral horn of the spinal cord; GlyR-LI and MOR-LI fibers and terminals were observed in all of the central motor nuclei.
