Activation of Protein Kinase C Modulates Light Responses in Horizontal Cells of the Turtle Retina
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1992-08)
The effect of phorbol esters on the light-evoked responses of horizontal cells were studied in the turtle eyecup preparation. Phorbol esters caused a reduction in receptive field size and a significant decrease in the ...
Responses of single cutaneous fibers to noxious thermal pulse stimulation of cat upper hind limb
(Elsevier, 1985-01)
Previous experiments have shown that cats respond to noxious thermal pulse stimulation of the upper hind limb at an average latency of 2.3 sec. To determine if C fiber afferents could mediate this response, we recorded the ...
In vitro intracellular recordings from gustatory neurons in the rat solitary nucleus
(Elsevier, 1990-01-29)
The passive membrane properties of neurons in the gustatory zone of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of rats were studied using an in vitro brain slice preparation. Examination of responses evoked by a 0.5 nA, 100 ms ...
Agonist-Specific Calcium Signaling and Phosphoinositide Hydrolysis in Human SK-N-MCIXC Neuroepithelioma Cells
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 1994-12)
Fura-2 digital imaging microfluorimetry was used to evaluate the Ca 2+ signals generated in single clonal human neuroepithelioma cells (SK-N-MCIXC) in response to agonists that stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Addition ...
Membrane Polarity of the Na+-K+ Pump in Primary Cultures of Xenopus Retinal Pigment Epithelium
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
The retinal pigment epithelium is a transporting epithelium that helps regulate the volume and composition of the subretinal space surrounding photoreceptor outer segments. The capacity of the RPE to actively transport Na+ ...
Trigeminal ganglion innervates the auditory brainstem
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-04-10)
A neural connection between the trigeminal ganglion and the auditory brainstem was investigated by using retrograde and anterograde tract tracing methods: iontophoretic injections of biocytin or biotinylated dextran-amine ...
A microprocessor device for the real-time detection of synchronized alpha and spindle activity in the EEG
(Elsevier, 1986-03)
A microprocessor based device is described which permits the real-time detection of synchronized EEG activity within the frequency range of the alpha rhythm or sleep spindles. This device offers a reliable, inexpensive ...
Enhanced antinociceptive response to intracerebroventricular kyotorphin in Pept2 null mice
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-06)
Projections from the trigeminal nuclear complex to the cochlear nuclei: A retrograde and anterograde tracing study in the guinea pig
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-12-15)
In addition to input from auditory centers, the cochlear nucleus (CN) receives inputs from nonauditory centers, including the trigeminal sensory complex. The detailed anatomy, however, and the functional implications of ...
Substance P excites neurons in the gustatory zone of the rat nucleus tractus solitarius
(Elsevier, 1993-08-13)
Whole-cell patch recordings of neurons in the rostal (gustatory) nucleus tractus solitarius (rNTS) were performed in a brain slice preparation from rat medulla. Neural responses to brief applications (10-45 s) of substance ...
