The rock cavy SCN is innervated in its ventral portion by terminals from the predominantly contralateral retina. It also contains neurophisin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide immunoreactive cell bodies and neuropeptide Y and enkephalin immunopositive fibres and terminals and is marked by intense GFAP immunoreactivity. The IGL receives a predominantly contralateral retinal projection, contains neuropeptide Y and nitric oxide synthase producing neurons and enkephalin immunopositive terminals and is characterized by dense GFAP immunoreactivity. This is the first report examining the neural circadian system in a crepuscular rodent species for which circadian properties have been described. The results are discussed comparing with what has been described for other species and in the context of the functional significance of these centres / O sistema de temporiza??o circadiana compreende um conjunto de estruturas neurais diferenciadas, que incluem um marcapasso central, o qual produz ritmicidade na aus?ncia de est?mulos externos; vias de entrada, incluindo as afer?ncias retininas, que permitem a sincroniza??o dos ritmos aos ciclos ambientais; e vias de sa?da, que conectam o marca-passo aos efetores comportamentais. Entre os componentes centrais do sistema de temporiza??o circadiana de mam?feros, destaca-se o n?cleo supraquiasm?tico (NSQ) do hipot?lamo, at? o presente o ?nico marca-passo circadiano formalmente comprovado, e o folheto intergeniculado (FIG) do complexo geniculado lateral do t?lamo, que atua como modulador do marca-passo. Neste estudo, estes dois centros foram avaliados com rela??o a sua citoarquitetura, padr?o de inerva??o retiniana e conte?do neuroqu?mico de c?lulas e terminais ax?nicos, usando um tra?ador neural e t?cnicas imuno-histoqu?micas no moc? (Kerodon rupestris), um roedor nativo do Nordeste Brasileiro, cuja atividade locomotora exibe um padr?o circadiano predominantemente crepuscular. O NSQ do moc? ? inervado em sua por??o ventrolateral por terminais da retina predominantemente contralateral. O NSQ ? dotado de neur?nios contendo neurofisina (NPH) e polipept?deo intestinal vasoativo (VIP) e as prote?nas ligantes de c?lcio calbindina (CB) e cal-retinina (CR), terminais imunorreativos a neuropept?deo Y (NPY) e encefalina (ENK) e ? tamb?m marcado por imunorreatividade ? prote?na ac?dica fibrilar glial (GFAP). O FIG recebe uma proje??o retiniana predominantemente contralateral, cont?m neur?nios produtores de NPY, CB e CR, terminais positivos para ENK e ? marcado por imunorreatividade a GFAP. Este ? o primeiro trabalho a examinar o sistema de temporiza??o circadiana (STC) numa esp?cie de roedor crepuscular, para o qual as propriedades formais dos ritmos circadianos tenham sido descritas. Os resultados s?o comparados com resultados previamente descritos em outras esp?cies diurnas e noturnas e discutidos no seu contexto funcional

In this study, these visual related centers in the rock cavy were evaluated by using the retinal innervations pattern and Nissl staining cytoarchigtecture. After unilateral intraocular injection of cholera toxin B subunit and immunohistochemical reaction of coronal and sagittal sections from the diencephalon and midbrain region of rock cavy. Three subcortical centres of primary visual system were identified, superior colliculus, lateral geniculate complex and pretectal complex. The lateral geniculate complex is formed by a series of nuclei receiving direct visual information from the retina, dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus, intergeniculate leaflet and ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. The pretectal complex is formed by series of pretectal nuclei, medial pretectal nucleus, olivary pretectal nucleus, posterior pretectal nucleus, nucleus of the optic tract and anterior pretectal nucleus. In the accessory optic system, retinal terminals were observed in the dorsal terminal, lateral terminal and medial terminal nuclei as well as in the interstitial nucleus of the superior fasciculus, posterior fibres. All retinorecipient nuclei received bilateral input, with a contralateral predominance. This is the first study of this nature in the rock cavy and the results are compared with the data obtained for other species. The investigation represents a contribution to the knowledge regarding the organization of visual optic systems in relation to the biology of species. / Os sistemas visual prim?rio e ?ptico acess?rio compreendem dois conjuntos de grupamentos neurais, que recebem proje??o direta da retina. Nesse estudo, estes dois sistemas foram avaliados com rela??o a citoarquitetura e padr?o de inerva??o retiniana, usando como tra?ador neural anter?grado, a subunidade B da toxina col?rica revelada por imunoistoqu?mica para detectar este tra?ador em terminais sobre grupamentos neuronais (alvos) no enc?falo do moc? (Kerodon rupestris), um roedor nativo do Nordeste Brasileiro. Os resultados permitiram identificar os componentes do sistema visual prim?rio o complexo geniculado lateral, o complexo pr?-tectal e o col?culo superior. O complexo geniculado lateral cont?m o n?cleo geniculado lateral dorsal, o n?cleo geniculado lateral ventral e o folheto intergeniculado. Todos recebem fibras da retina com predomin?ncia contralateral, menos intensa para o folheto intergeniculado. O complexo pr?-tectal cont?m os n?cleos pr?-tectal anterior, pr?-tectal medial, pr?-tectal posterior, olivar pr?-tectal e n?cleo do trato ?ptico, os quais recebem proje??o retiniana predominantemente contralateral. Do mesmo modo, o col?culo superior recebe fibras da retina contralateral nas camadas superficiais. Tamb?m foi identificado o sistema ?ptico acess?rio completo no moc?, constitu?do pelos n?cleos terminal medial, terminal lateral, terminal dorsal e intersticial do fasc?culo superior posterior. Esses n?cleos recebem inerva??o retiniana com forte predomin?ncia contralateral, sendo que o n?cleo terminal medial, embora preserve a predomin?ncia contralateral, exibe uma evidente inerva??o ipsolateral.
