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 ...
Chronic haloperidol treatment increased calcium-dependent phosphorylation in rat striatum
(Elsevier, 1982-01-04)
In previous studies, we observed that when rats were chronically treated with haloperidol, there was a significant increase of calmodulin activity in their striatal membranes. Calmodulin is knwon to modulate calcium-dependent ...
Postnatal ontogeny of acetylated and non-acetylated B-endorphin in rat pituitary
(Elsevier, 1983)
Extracts of the anterior lobe and intermediate lobe of postnatal (P) (Day P1, P7, P14, P21, P28, P35, P42) and adult male Spraque-Dawley rats were analyzed by both a Beta-endorphin (B-END) radioimmunoassay and a radioimmunoassay ...
Individual and population sex allocation patterns
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
A variety of sex allocation models is considered in which (i) the reproductive returns on investment in males differ from the returns on investment in females, (ii) the amounts of resources available for reproduction vary ...
Identification and characterization of a human transthyretin variant
(Elsevier, 1987-10-14)
An apparent Mr variant of plasma transthyretin (TTR), previously detected using 2-D PAGE, is the first reported occurrence of this type of human TTR variant. We characterized the variant TTR to determine the nature of this ...
Response characteristics of lamb trigeminal neurons to stimulation of the oral cavity and epiglottis with different sensory modalities
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
A region of the trigeminal complex located at the border of the subnucleus interpolaris and subnucleus caudalis receives not only trigeminal nerve inputs from the face, tongue and palate, but also afferent terminations ...
The origin and function of self-incompatibility in flowering plants
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-08)
The evolutionary significance of self-incompatibility (SI) traditionally has been linked to reduced inbreeding through enforced outcrossing. This view is founded on the premise that outcrossing reduces inbreeding. It is ...
Comparison of the distribution of Na+, K+-ATPase and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) in the optic nerve, spinal cord and trigeminal ganglion of shiverer (shi/shi) and control (+/+) mice
(Elsevier, 1987-07-07)
Na+,K+ATPase and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) were studied by immunocytochemistry on paraffin sections of the spinal cord, optic nerve and trigeminal ganglion of adult control (+/+) and CNS myelin-deficient shiverer ...
Responses of neurons in the lamb nucleus tractus solitarius to stimulation of the caudal oral cavity and epiglottis with different stimulus modalities
(Elsevier, 1989-02-20)
Receptors located in the posterior oral cavity and on the epiglottis play an important role in the initiation of upper airway reflexes such as swallowing, gagging, coughing and apnea. Peripheral nerves which innervate these ...
2-Substituted methyl [alpha]--galactopyranosides: Synthesis and binding affinity for the A and B subunits of the Griffonia simplicifolia I isolectins
(Elsevier, 1985-07-01)
The binding affinities of the N-acetyl, N-trifluoroacetyl, N-propionyl, N-formyl, N-benzoyl, N-p-nitrobenzoyl, N-p-aminobenzoyl, and N-methyl derivatives of methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-[alpha]--galactopyranoside and the 2-O-acetyl, ...
