Retinofugal pathways in fetal and adult spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias
(Elsevier, 1979-02-23)
Retinofugal pathways in fetal and adult spiny dogfish were determined by intraocular injection of [3H]proline for autoradiography. Distribution and termination of the primary retinal efferents were identical in pups and ...
Simple procedures for the rapid cleavage of ester lipids and for the large-scale isolation from brain of cerebroside sulfate
(Elsevier, 1979-12)
The ester groups of glycerophospholipids in tissue extracts can be cleaved in less than 10 min at room temperature if the lipids are extracted with hexane-isopropanol and the filtrate is treated with methanolic NaOH. The ...
Visual stimulation increases regional cerebral blood flow and metabolism in the goldfish
(Elsevier, 1979-01-26)
Studies with radioactive antipyrene and deoxyglucose indicate that both blood flow and metabolism are enhanced in the goldfish optic tectum following a brief visual stimulation. It is concluded that the brain of cold-blooded ...
The temporal structure of reinforcement: An analysis of brain-stimulated reward
(Elsevier, 1979-08)
Adult male Sprague--Dawley rats were implanted with electrodes aimed at the medial forebrain bundle. The electrodes were connected to brushings which permitted chronic electrical self-stimulation. Over time, the rats ...
Experimental determination of the primary trigeminal projections in lampreys
(Elsevier, 1979-03-16)
Smokers' self-categorization and the reduction of cognitive dissonance
(Elsevier, 1979)
Sixty per cent of a sample of smokers who smoked between one and two packages of cigarettes per day considered themselves "moderate" smokers, while the remaining 40% considered themselves "heavy" smokers. This study compares ...
Loss of infectivity of poliovirus 1 in river water under simulated field conditions
(Elsevier, 1979)
The effects of light, virus concentration, and turbidity on the rate of loss of infectivity (LOI) of poliovirus 1 were investigated in two test systems, which utilized flowing river water. Two levels of each variable were ...
Roles of the main olfactory and vomeronasal systems in the response of the female hamster to young
(Elsevier, 1979-07)
A series of experiments was undertaken to investigate the roles of the main olfactory and vomeronasal systems in the response of the female golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) to pups. Upon first encountering hamster ...
