A densitometer for quantitative autoradiography
(Elsevier, 1983-11)
A low cost spot densitometer system is described. This system is useful for quantitative autoradiography of local cerebral glucose utilization, blood flow, receptor binding and other applications requiring densitometry on ...
Changes in intra-axonal calcium distribution following nerve crush
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1986-09)
We used the oxalate-pyroantimonate method to demonstrate the ultrastructural distribution of calcium within rat sciatic nerve 4 h after a crush injury. In normal nerve there are discrete gradients of axoplasmic calcium ...
Enhancing high-speed digitization of single-unit neuronal activity on a microcomputer using a hybrid software-hardware technique
(Elsevier, 1989-06)
A new data acquisition technique allows a microcomputer simultaneously to digitize spikes at high rates, analyze spike waveforms for computer-based spike separation and manage other control tasks. The technique has two key ...
Studies on the localization of newly added membrane in growing neurites
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1981-11)
Explant culture of the adult goldfish retina results in vigorous neuritic growth, provided that the optic nerve has been previously crushed in vivo. The site of new membrane addition in these growing neurites was studied ...
The retina as a biochemical model of central nervous system regeneration
(Elsevier, 1980)
The visual system of primitive vertebrates has long served as a useful model for the resynthesis of damaged neurons. The prior optic nerve crush imparts a marked tendency on the part of cultured retinal explants to extend ...
Tetrahydro-9-aminoacridine (THA) interacts with the phencyclidine (PCP) receptor site
(Elsevier, 1988-06-07)
The effect of tetrahydro-9-aminoacridine (THA) and related compounds on ligand binding to the dissociative anesthetic (phencyclidine, PCP) receptor site was assessed using a rat brain homogenate assay. THA displaced the ...
A microdrive positioning adapter for chronic single unit recording
(Elsevier, 1988)
A new micropositioner design for use in chronic, transdural single unit recording studies is presented. The adapter is used to position an electrode microdrive assembly to any desired location within a surgically implanted ...
