The origins of these presynaptic boutons are classified into three components: (1) monosynaptic inputs from the sensory neurons,(2) monosynaptic descending inputs from the brainstem and motor cortex, and (3) inputs from interneurons or propriospinal neurons. Concerning the boutons of each origin, the ultrastructural characteristics are briefly described. As for the descending pathways from the brainstem, recent advances in immunocytochemical techniques have revealed the existence of direct projections to spinal motoneurons from the raphe pallidus and obscurus, the adjoining ventral medial reticular formation, and the locus coeruleus and subcoeruleus. These pathways are reviewed in terms of their neurotransmitters and/or modulators which include serotonin, substance P, TRH, enkephalins, acetylcholin and noradrenalin. All these recent findings suggest that spinalα-motoneurons are regulated in a much more complex way than had previously been supposed.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {運動神経細胞に対する調節機構 : 形態学的立場から}, volume = {5}, year = {1988} }
