Immediate early gene (ZENK) responses to song in juvenile female and male zebra finches: Effects of rearing environmentWiley - Tập 66 Số 11 - Trang 1175-1182 - 2006
Michelle L. Tomaszycki, Emily M. Sluzas, Kristy A. Sundberg, Sarah Winans Newman, Timothy J. DeVoogd
AbstractAccurate song perception is likely to be as important for female
songbirds as it is for male songbirds. Male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
show differential ZENK expression to conspecific and heterospecific songs by day
30 posthatch in auditory perceptual brain regions such as the caudomedial
nidopallium (NCM) and the caudomedial mesopallium (CMM). The current study
examined ZENK exp... hiện toàn bộ
Neurotrophic control of 16S acetylcholinesterase from mammalian skeletal muscle in organ cultureWiley - Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 557-570 - 1980
Hugo L. Fernández, Michael R. Patterson, Myron J. Duell
AbstractThe effects of rat obturator nerve extracts on total and 16S
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were studied in endplate regions of
denervated anterior gracilis muscles maintained in organ culture for 48 hr. The
decrease of total AChE activity in cultured muscles was similar to that observed
in denervated muscles in vivo. This decrease in activity was partly prevented by
addition of eith... hiện toàn bộ
Subcellular fractionation of cultured glial cellsWiley - Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 169-180 - 1971
Carl W. Cotman, Harvey R. Herschman, Dwan A. Taylor
AbstractWe have studied the subcellular fractionation of a clonal line of glial
cells from rat brain. In comparison to rat brain, more of the total protein is
collected in the crude nuclear fraction following differential centrifugation.
When a crude mitochondrial fraction is prepared and resolved on a density
gradient, we find that like brain the glial cell crude mitochondrial fraction is
also he... hiện toàn bộ
Seasonal regulation of NMDA receptor NR2B mRNA in the adult canary song systemWiley - Tập 54 Số 4 - Trang 593-603 - 2003
Tryambak Deo Singh, Julie E. Heinrich, Anne Marie Wissman, Eliot A. Brenowitz, Ernest J. Nordeen, Kathy W. Nordeen
AbstractDevelopmental changes in the composition and function of
N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are believed to regulate neural
plasticity. For example, in songbirds, vocal learning entails NMDAR activation,
and the sensitive period for such learning in zebra finches (ZFs) parallels
developmental changes in NMDAR density and phenotype within several song‐related
brain regions. In contrast... hiện toàn bộ
Seasonal changes in song nuclei and song behavior in Gambel's white‐crowned sparrowsWiley - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 114-125 - 1995
G. Troy Smith, Eliot A. Brenowitz, J. C. Wingfield, Luís F. Baptista
AbstractIn males of several songbird species, the morphology of forebrain nuclei
that control song changes seasonally. The only seasonally breeding songbird in
which seasonal changes in the structure of song control nuclei have been
reported not to occur is the nonmigratory Nuttall's subspecies of white‐crowned
sparrow. In the present study, we manipulated photoperiod and plasma
testosterone conce... hiện toàn bộ
Brain aromatase, 5α‐reductase, and 5β‐reductase change seasonally in wild male song sparrows: Relationship to aggressive and sexual behaviorWiley - Tập 56 Số 3 - Trang 209-221 - 2003
Kiran K. Soma, Barney A. Schlinger, John C. Wingfield, Colin J. Saldanha
AbstractIn many species, territoriality is expressed only during the breeding
season, when plasma testosterone (T) is elevated. In contrast, in song sparrows
(Melospiza melodia morphna), males are highly territorial during the breeding
(spring) and nonbreeding (autumn) seasons, but not during molt (late summer). In
autumn, plasma sex steroids are basal, and castration has no effect on
aggression. ... hiện toàn bộ
Long‐term culture of mouse cortical neurons as a model for neuronal development, aging, and deathWiley - Tập 51 Số 1 - Trang 9-23 - 2002
Christian Lesuisse, Lee J. Martin
AbstractA long‐term cell culture system was used to study maturation, aging, and
death of cortical neurons. Mouse cortical neurons were maintained in culture in
serum‐free medium (Neurobasal supplemented with B27) for 60 days in vitro (DIV).
The levels of several proteins were evaluated by immunoblotting to demonstrate
that these neurons matured by developing dendrites and synapses and remained
