Postnatal ontogeny of GABAB binding in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1994-09)
The postnatal development of GABAB binding sites in rat brain was studied by quantitative receptor autoradiography using [3H]GABA under selective conditions. Binding levels peak at regionally specific times during the first ...
Calcium-dependent release of accumulated glutamate from synaptic vesicles within permeabilized nerve terminals
(Elsevier, 1991-01-28)
We have studied glutamate release from synaptic vesicles in permeabilized synaptosomes, which were preloaded with [3H]glutamate in an ATP-dependent manner. The release was found to be calcium-dependent and to require a ...
Frontal lobe lesions in man cause difficulties in suppressing reflexive glances and in generating goal-directed saccades
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-05)
The frontal eye field (FEF) and superior colliculus (SC) are thought to form two parallel systems for generating saccadic eye movements. The SC is thought classically to mediate reflex-like orienting movements. Thus it can ...
Some effects of hippocampal lesions on the behavior of mongolian gerbils
(Elsevier, 1970-08)
Adult male gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were subjected to one of three surgical procedures: aspiration of the hippocampus and overlying cortex, aspiration of the cortex overlying the hippocampus alone, or a sham operation. ...
The effect of methionine on the uptake, distribution, and binding of the convulsant methionine sulfoximine in the rat
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1976-02)
The effect of methionine on the uptake, distribution, and binding of the convulsant methionine sulfoximine (MSO) in 7 rat brain regions, the spinal cord, the liver, and the kidney was investigated. The administration of ...
Animal Models of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy: The STZ Rat Model
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Saunders, 2004-10)
Painful peripheral neuropathy is a common secondary complication of diabetes. The streptozotocin (STZ)‐induced diabetic rat is the most commonly employed animal model used to study mechanisms of painful diabetic neuropathy ...
GABA and benzodiazepine receptors in basal ganglia function
(Elsevier, 1984-06-29)
GABA and its associated benzodiazepine interactions play an important role in basal ganglia function. Distinctive GABA, benzodiazepine and opiate receptor changes occur in response to striatal lesions and in the human ...
Effect of stimuli in right hemispace on left-sided neglect in a line cancellation task
(Elsevier, 1992-10)
Twenty-seven patients with right cerebral infarcts resulting in left-sided neglect in a line cancellation task were also tested for line cancellation when the lines were confined to the left half of sheets. All but one ...
Mating-induced expression of c-fos in the male Syrian hamster brain: Role of experience, pheromones, and ejaculations
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-05)
This study was designed to investigate the effects of pheromonal cues and specific behaviors within the male copulatory sequence on c-fos expression in the medial nucleus of the amygdala (Me), the bed nucleus of the stria ...
Potassium modulation of methionine uptake in astrocytes in vitro
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1982-05)
Methionine participates in a large variety of metabolic pathways in brain, and its transport may play an important regulatory role. The properties of methionine uptake were examined in a preparation of neonatal rat brain ...
