A VIP-like peptide co-occurs with substance P and enkephalin in cholinergic preganglionic terminals of the avian ciliary ganglion
(Elsevier, 1987-07-09)
Using single-label and double-label immunohistochemical techniques, many of the substance P-enkephalin containing preganglionic terminals of the avian ciliary ganglion were found to also contain a VIP-like peptide. Since ...
The temporal structure of motivation: III. Identification and ecological significance of ultradian rhythms of intracranial reinforcement
(Elsevier, 1980-10)
Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were stereotactically implanted with intracranial electrodes aimed at the anterior medial forebrain bundle, and trained to self-administer intracranial stimulation. Following 3 weeks of ...
Ritual coordination of medical pluralism in highland Nepal: Implications for policy
(Elsevier, 1988)
In highland Nepal, just as in many other regions of South Asia, multiple indigenous healing traditions and a variety of traditional curing specialists co-exist in a pluralistic cultural environment. It is argued that the ...
On the dynamic order of structured Escherichia coli growth models
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1987-04-20)
Reliable dynamic descriptions of cellular growth are important for many practical applications including bioreactor design and control. A chemically structured growth model of Escherichia coli has been formulated and ...
Muscarine-sensitive voltage-dependent potassium current in cultured murine spinal cord neurons
(Elsevier, 1983-01-31)
Muscarine produced membrane depolarization and decreased membrane conductance of mouse spinal cord neurons in dissociated cell culture. When the neurons were voltage clamped, muscarine evoked inward currents which increased ...
Culturing spinal cord explants in a collagen gel
(Elsevier, 1984-08)
A new method for culturing spinal cord slices or explants is presented which entails the use of a commercially available purified collagen, Vitrogen. Vitrogen provides a stable three-dimensional matrix for culturing spinal ...
Further studies on a novel animal model of depression: Therapeutic effects of a tricyclic antidepressant
(Elsevier, 1981)
We have previously shown that rats given stress before open field testing have elevated activity in comparison with unstressed rats. This acute behavioral response may be eliminated by chronic stress and restored by ...
Comments on rarity and chaos, Thomas D. Rogers, math. biosci. 72:13-18 (1984)
(Elsevier, 1985-03)
Susceptibility to sensitization. I. Sex differences in the enduring effects of chronic -amphetamine treatment on locomotion, stereotyped behavior and brain monoamines
(Elsevier, 1988-09-01)
There are sex differences in a number of behaviors elicited by amphetamine (AMPH). The purpose of the present experiment was to determine if there are also sex differences in the sensitization of the locomotor activity and ...
