The free autografting of entire limb muscles in the cat: Morphology Supported by grants by the Muscular Dystrophy Association to BMC and JAF and an MDA Postdoctoral Fellowship to SAM.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1977-08)
Normal or pre-denervated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were successfully grafted in place of the contralateral EDL muscles in cats. Histological preparations of 57 grafts were examined at intervals from 4 to 170 ...
The stimulation of cerebral N2-methyl- and N22-dimethyl guanine-specific tRNA methyltransferases by methionine sulfoximine: An study
(Elsevier, 1977-06-20)
The administration of a single convulsant dose or of multiple subconvulsant doses of L-methionine-dl-sulfoximine (MSO) to 18-day old rats results in a significant elevation of the specific activity of cerebral tRNA ...
Banding pattern and fibrillogenesis of ceratotrichia in shark fins
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1977-11)
Study by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy of the distribution, structure and growth of ceratotrichia in the anterodorsal fin of a lemon shark, Negaprion brevirostris , ...
Olfactory and vomeronasal deafferentation of male hamsters: Histological and behavioral analyses
(Elsevier, 1977-05-06)
Deafferentation of the vomeronasal system by cutting the vomeronasal nerves severely impaired mating behavior in 44% of male hamsters over a 1-2 month period of postoperative testing, but the remaining males mated normally ...
Osmoregulation in Blaberus craniifer after parenteral injections of NaCl solutions
(Elsevier, 1977)
1. 1. After injection of NaCl into the abdominal hemocoel of Blaberus craniifer, the osmotic concentration of antennal hemolymph peaked at 1.25hr and returned to pre-injection concentration by 21 hr. The mean plasma clearance ...
Complexity effects in form detection
(Elsevier, 1977)
This study examines the effect of pattern complexity on the detectability of dotted target patterns presented in dotted visual noise. The effects of complexity on performance in this detection task were shown to be ...
Functional significance of biological variability
(Elsevier, 1977)
The variability of biological matter contributes to both its adaptability and reliability. To represent the structure of this variability we treat a complete biological system (e.g. community and environment) as a system ...
Principle of superposition-free memory
(Elsevier, 1977-07-21)
The requirement that memory be superposition-free imposes a restrictive condition on the structure of neural models. A simple model which satisfies this condition consists of two levels of neurons, with primary level neurons ...
The role of the optic tectum in various visually mediated behaviors of goldfish
(Elsevier, 1977-06-17)
Five visually mediated behaviors were assessed following ablation of one or both lobes of the optic tectum in goldfish. Three of the behaviors disappeared following tectal ablations; optomotor response (swimming with the ...
The aberrant course of the cutaneous component of the ilioinguinal nerve
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1977-10)
The ilioinguinal nerve was dissected in 196 adult human cadavers. A normal pattern of distribution, consistent with modern textual descriptions, was defied in 60% of in guinal regions. In 35% of the inguinal regions a ...
