Lesions of the central nucleus of the amygdala I: Effects on taste reactivity, taste aversion learning and sodium appetite
(Elsevier, 1993-12-31)
Bilateral damage to the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeAX) in the rat blunts need-induced NaCl intake and abolishes daily need-free NaCl intake when measured with a two-bottle test. Such a deficit could be the result ...
Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
Selective inhibition by alcohol and cortisol of natural killer cell activity of lymphocytes from cord blood
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
1. 1. The immunosuppressive effects of drugs such as alcohol or hormones such as cortisol may be age-related. To test this hypothesis, the authors investigated the in vitro effects of ethanol (EtOH) and cortisol on Natural ...
Androgen receptor immunoreactivity in the male and female Syrian hamster brain
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-05)
To investigate potential mechanisms for sex differences in the physiologic response to androgens, the present study compared the hormonal regulation of intracellular androgen receptor partitioning and the distribution of ...
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 ...
Calmodulin distribution in peripheral nerve: an EM immunocytochemical study
(Elsevier, 1988-12-20)
We used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to study the distribution of calmodulin in rat sciatic nerve. Calmodulin immunoreactivity was found throughout the axoplasmic matrix, but particularly along microtubules. ...
Effects of morphine treatment on pro-opiomelanocortin systems in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1990-06-11)
In previous studies to determine whether chronic opiate administration might negatively feedback upon endogenous opioid systems in the CNS, investigators found no changes in steady-state concentrations of opioid peptides ...
A signal generator for testing extracellular recording amplifiers and probes
(Elsevier, 1988-10)
A portable signal generator that simulates the amplitude and frequency of neuronal signals for testing extracellular recording amplifiers is described. The signal generator is easy to construct and it is extremely useful ...
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 ...
Light-evoked sustained inhibition in mudpuppy retinal ganglion cells
(Elsevier, 1982)
Intracellular recordings were made from off-center ganglion cells in the retina of the mudpuppy. Necturus maculosus. Current-voltage measurements revealed that the sustained light-evoked hyperpolarization of these cells ...
