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...... hiện toàn bộ
Serine racemase is predominantly localized in neurons in mouse brainJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 510 Số 6 - Trang 641-654 - 2008
Kazushi Miya, Ran Inoue, Yoshimi Takata, Manabu Abe, Rie Natsume, Kenji Sakimura, Kazuhisa Hongou, Toshio Miyawaki, Hisashi Mori
AbstractD‐Serine is the endogenous ligand for the glycine binding site of the N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA)‐type glutamate receptor (GluR) channel and is involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity, neural network formation, and neurodegenerative disorders. D‐Serine is synthesized from L‐serine by serine racemase (SR), which was first...... hiện toàn bộ
Extracellular matrix components of the peripheral pathway of chick trigeminal axonsJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 283 Số 1 - Trang 38-53 - 1989
Sally A. Moody, Marks S. Quigg, Charles D. Little
AbstractThe directed growth of axons to their peripheral targets during development may be influenced by a variety of intrinsic and environmental factors, the latter including the pattern of extracellular matrix components in the region through which they grow. We investigated the localization within the chick trigeminal mesenchyme of a variety of extracellular mat...... hiện toàn bộ
Decreased number of parvalbumin and cholinergic interneurons in the striatum of individuals with Tourette syndromeJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 518 Số 3 - Trang 277-291 - 2010
Yuko Kataoka, Paul Kalanithi, Heidi Grantz, Michael L. Schwartz, Clifford B. Saper, James F. Leckman, Flora M. Vaccarino
AbstractCorticobasal ganglia neuronal ensembles bring automatic motor skills into voluntary control and integrate them into ongoing motor behavior. A 5% decrease in caudate (Cd) nucleus volume is the most consistent structural finding in the brain of patients with Tourette syndrome (TS), but the cellular abnormalities that underlie this decrease in volume are uncle...... hiện toàn bộ
Galanin‐like innervation of rat submandibular and sublingual salivary glands: Origin and effect on acinar cell membranesJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 317 Số 3 - Trang 271-282 - 1992
Lukasz M. Konopka, Víctor May, Cynthia J. Forehand
AbstractThe distribution and source of a galanin‐like innervation of rat salivary glands has been examined. Additionally, submandibular and sublingual acinar cell membrane responses to galanin or a cholinergic agonist were studied. Galanin‐immunoreactive fibers were observed throughout the submandibular and sublingual glands in association with ducts and acini. A s...... hiện toàn bộ
Golgi and Nissl studies of the visual cortex of the bottlenose dolphinJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 240 Số 3 - Trang 305-321 - 1985
L.J. Garey, E Winkelmann, K Brauer
AbstractNissl, Golgi and fibre preparations were made of the cerebral cortex of the lateral gyrus of the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)in the region where visual evoked potentials have been reported (Sokolov et al., '72; Ladygina et al., '78). In the adult the visual cortex is relatively thin (average about 1,300 μm) for so large...... hiện toàn bộ
Immunocytochemical localization of enkephalin in the neostriatum of rat brain: A light and electron microscopic studyJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 189 Số 4 - Trang 721-740 - 1980
Virginia M. Pickel, Khushdev K. Sumal, Susan C. Beckley, Richard J. Miller, Donald J. Reis
AbstractThe peroxidase‐antiperoxidase (PAP) immunocytochemical technique was used to determine the light and electron microscopic localization of antisera directed against either methionine [Met5]‐ or leucine [Leu5]‐enkephalin in the neostriatum of brains from untreated rats. By light microscopy, neuronal perikarya and proc...... hiện toàn bộ
Insula of the old world monkey. Architectonics in the insulo‐orbito‐temporal component of the paralimbic brainJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 212 Số 1 - Trang 1-22 - 1982
Marsel Mesulam, Elliott J. Mufson
AbstractThe insula of the rhesus monkey has a surface area of approximately 160 mm2 and can be divided into three architectonic sectors. The agranular sector is coextensive with prepiriform allocortex and is characterized by three agranular cellular strata, a zonal layer of myelinated fibers, and a high level of intracortical acetylcholinestera...... hiện toàn bộ
Neural mechanisms of autonomic, affective, and cognitive integrationJournal of Comparative Neurology - Tập 493 Số 1 - Trang 154-166 - 2005
Hugo Critchley
AbstractInfluential theoretical models propose a central role for afferent information from the body in the expression of emotional feeling states. Feedback representations of changing states of bodily arousal influence learning and facilitate concurrent and prospective decision‐making. Functional neuroimaging studies have increased understanding of brain mechanism...... hiện toàn bộ
