Hypocretin-1 causes G protein activation and increases ACh release in rat pons
(Blackwell Science, Ltd, 2003-10)
The effects of the arousal-promoting peptide hypocretin on brain stem G protein activation and ACh release were examined using 16 adult Sprague-Dawley rats. In vitro [ 35 S]GTPγS autoradiography was used to test the ...
APB increases apparent coupling between horizontal cells in mudpuppy retina
(Elsevier, 1989)
2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (APB), an agonist at a unique type of glutamate receptor on depolarizing bipolar cells, caused an apparent increase in coupling between horizontal cells as evidenced by a decrease in amplitude ...
Spinal antinociception mediated by a cocaine-sensitive dopaminergic supraspinal mechanism
(Elsevier, 1994-04-25)
The role of dopaminergic descending supraspinal processes in mediating the antinociceptive action of cocaine was studied in the rat using a combination of extracellular neuronal recording and behavioral techniques. Neurons ...
Neuroanastomosis of orthotopically transplanted palmaris longus muscles
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-01)
Palmaris longus (PML) muscles of rhesus monkeys were transplanted, with or without anastomosis of the median nerve, to the nerve stump of the autograft. Because PML autografts revascularize spontaneously, vascular anastomoses ...
A contact thermal stimulator for neurobehavioral research on temperature sensation
(Elsevier, 1981-03)
A thermal stimulation system is described which is suitable for use in psychophysical, behavioral and neurophysiological studies of temperature sensation. Skin temperature over a restricted area can be maintained at ...
Contractile properties of standard and nerve-intact muscle grafts in the rat
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1985-06)
The contractile properties of standard and nerve-intact grafts of extensor digitorum longus muscles of rats were compared in vitro. Fourteen days after grafting, the time to peak tension and the half-relaxation times of ...
Nucleic acid binding agents exert local toxic effects on neurites via a non-nuclear mechanism
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006-03)
The mechanism by which drugs that target nucleic acids cause neurotoxicity is not well described. We characterized the neurotoxicity of Hoechst 33342 (bis-benzimide), a common cell permeable nuclear dye, in primary neuronal ...
Effect of medial bulboreticular and raphe nuclear lesions on the excitation and modulation of supraspinal nocifensive behaviors in the cat
(Elsevier, 1989-10-30)
Six cats were trained to eat while partially restrained and while thermal pulse stimuli (43-60 [deg]C, 5 s duration) were delivered to the upper hindlimbs. Food and stimulus delivery were under programmed electronic control. ...
