Fine structure of myelinated mechanical nociceptor endings in cat hairy skinJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 198 Số 1 - Trang 137-154 - 1981
Lawrence Kruger, Edward R. Perl, Mathius J. Sedivec
AbstractHigh‐threshold mechanoreceptors (mechanical nociceptors) with myelinated
axons were electrophysiologically identified in hairy skin of the cat as
described by Burgess and Perl ('67). Such elements possess receptive fields
consisting of a number of punctate areas from which maximal firing can be
elicited by intense (skin‐damaging) mechanical stimuli. The spots of the
receptive field are sep... hiện toàn bộ
Periadolescent maturation of the prefrontal cortex is sex‐specific and is disrupted by prenatal stressJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 521 Số 8 - Trang 1828-1843 - 2013
Julie A. Markham, Sylvina E. Mullins, James I. Koenig
AbstractThe prefrontal cortex (PFC) undergoes dramatic, sex‐specific maturation
during adolescence. Adolescence is a vulnerable window for developing mental
illnesses that show significant sexual dimorphisms. Gestational stress is
associated with increased risk for both schizophrenia, which is more common
among men, and cognitive deficits. We have shown that male, but not female, rats
exposed to p... hiện toàn bộ
Cell death in the development of the posterior cortex in male and female ratsJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 436 Số 1 - Trang 32-41 - 2001
Joseph L. Nuñez, David M. Lauschke, Janice M. Juraska
AbstractWork from our laboratory has shown that adult male rats have 19% more
neurons than female rats in the binocular region and 18% more in the monocular
region of the primary visual cortex (Reid and Juraska [1992] J Comp Neurol
321:448–455; Nuñez et al., [1999] Soc Neurosci Abstr 25:229). In the current
experiment, we investigated whether cell death in male and female rats
(postnatal days 2–35... hiện toàn bộ
Cholinergic innervation of the monkey amygdala: An immunohistochemical analysis with antisera to choline acetyltransferaseJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 281 Số 3 - Trang 337-361 - 1989
David G. Amaral, Julia L. Bassett
AbstractThe organization of the cholinergic innervation of the macaque monkey
amygdaloid complex was investigated by means of immunohistochemical techniques
and either a polyclonal antiserum or a monoclonal antibody directed against the
specific synthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). Adjacent series of
sections were processed histochemically for the demonstration of the degradative

Connections between the central nucleus of the amygdala and the midbrain periaqueductal gray: Topography and reciprocityJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 303 Số 1 - Trang 121-131 - 1991
Tilat A. Rizvi, Matthew Ennis, Michael M. Behbehani, Michael T. Shipley
AbstractPrevious reports indicate that the midbrain periaqueductal gray and the
central nucleus of the amygdala are interconnected but the organization of these
projections has not been characterized. We have analyzed this reciprocal
circuitry using anterograde and retrograde tracing methods and image analysis.
Our findings reveal that innervation of periaqueductal gray from the central
nucleus of... hiện toàn bộ
Expression analysis of cadherins in the songbird brain: Relationship to vocal system developmentJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 508 Số 2 - Trang 329-342 - 2008
Eiji Matsunaga, Kazuo Okanoya
AbstractSongbirds learn their songs as juveniles. The brains of songbirds have a
series of nuclei and neural circuits called the song system, which is
indispensable for vocal learning and production. In the present study we
analyzed the expression patterns of cell adhesion molecules, cadherins, in the
Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata var. domestica) to investigate their potential
involvement in s... hiện toàn bộ
Localized brain activation specific to auditory memory in a female songbirdJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 494 Số 5 - Trang 784-791 - 2006
Nienke J. Terpstra, Johan J. Bolhuis, Katharina Riebel, Jorien M.M. van der Burg, Ardie M. den Boer‐Visser
AbstractSong acquisition in songbird males is a prominent model system for the
study of the brain mechanisms of memory. Male zebra finches (Taeniopygia
guttata) learn their songs from an adult conspecific tutor early in life.
Previous work has shown that exposure of males to their tutor song leads to
increased expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) in the caudomedial
nidopallium (NCM) and in t... hiện toàn bộ
Targets of horizontal connections in macaque primary visual cortexJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 305 Số 3 - Trang 370-392 - 1991
B A McGuire, Charles D. Gilbert, Patricia K. Rivlin, TN Wiesel
AbstractPyramidal neurons within the cerebral cortex are known to make
long‐range horizontal connections via an extensive axonal collateral system. The
synaptic characteristics and specificities of these connections were studied at
the ultrastructural level. Two superficial layer pyramidal cells in the primate
striate cortex were labeled by intracellular injections with horseradish
peroxidase (HRP... hiện toàn bộ
