A quantitative study of retrograde axonal transport in motor and sensory neurons
(Elsevier, 1986-04)
We used 3H N-succinimidyl propionate to covalently label in vivo proteins of the rat sciatic nerve, and studied the accumulation of radioactively labeled proteins in the cell bodies of the ipsilateral dorsal root ganglion ...
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. ...
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 ...
Inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter binding sites in cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) cervical spinal cord
(Elsevier, 1993-02-26)
Autoradiography of inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter binding sites in the cervical spinal cord of M. fascicularis spinal cord revealed inhomogenous distribution of all binding sites in spinal gray matter. ...
Excitatory and inhibitory amino acid binding sites in human dentate nucleus
(Elsevier, 1991-09-27)
Autoradiography of excitatory and inhibitory amino acid binding sites in human dentate nuclei indicated virtually no binding to N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) or [gamma]-aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) binding sites, and a low ...
Histological localization of binding sites of [alpha]-bungarotoxin and of antibodies specific to acetylcholine receptor in goldfish optic nerve and tectum
(Elsevier, 1980-07-21)
Goldfish optic nerve as well as ganglion cell neurites grown in culture selectively bind rhodamine-labeled [alpha]-bungarotoxin following tissue fixation. Binding is competed for by unlabeled bungarotoxin, by carbamylcholine ...
A sequential double-label autoradiographic method that quantifies altered rates of regional glucose metabolism
(Elsevier, 1985-12-30)
An autoradiographic sequential double-label variant of the deoxyglucose method for measurement of local glucose utilization has been developed. This technique takes advantage of the short half-life of the positron emitter, ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF I and II) are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects16,27. Immunoreactive IGF I is present in the retina14 and both IGF I and II are present in ...
Further localization of a gene for paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis to a 5-cM region on chromosome 2q34
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-01)
Paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis (PDC) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by episodes of involuntary movement, involving the extremities and face, which may occur spontaneously or be precipitated by caffeine, ...
