Differential cholinergic activation of G proteins in rat and mouse brainstem: Relevance for sleep and nociception
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-03-03)
Murine models are increasingly used for investigations of sleep, yet no previous studies have characterized cholinergic activation of guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins) in mouse brainstem nuclei known to ...
Central connections of the lingual tonsillar branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve and the superior laryngeal nerve in lamb
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1986-03-22)
Afferent and efferent central connections of the lingual-tonsillar branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve (LT-IX) and the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) in the lamb were traced with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) histochemistry. ...
Relationship between structure and function of neurons in the rat rostral nucleus tractus solitarii
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-06-01)
To investigate the relationship between the structure and function of neurons in the rostral (gustatory) nucleus tractus solitarii (rNTS), we analyzed the morphological and biophysical properties of rNTS neurons by performing ...
c-Myc Does Not Require Max for Transcriptional Activity in PC-12 Cells
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
The c-Myc proto-oncogene is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (b/HLH/LZ) protein that participates in cellular growth and differentiation. The expression of cMyc mRNA is rapidly induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) ...
Transganglionic transport of HRP from the circumvallate papilla of the rat
(Elsevier, 1985-12-30)
To learn whether horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injections in gustatory papillae on the tongue can be used to study central topographical projections of taste buds and papillae, injections were made into the circumvallate ...
Responses of lamb nucleus of the solitary tract neurons to chemical stimulation of the epiglottis
(Elsevier, 1988-01-26)
Previous research has shown that applications of chemical stimuli to the epiglottis produced distinct patterns of activity in the lamb superior laryngeal nerve. To determine the response characteristics of second-order ...
Role of endogenous opioid peptides in the acute adaptation to hypoxia
(Elsevier, 1992-06-12)
A non-lethal, hypoxic conditioning stimulus has been shown by Rising and D'Alecy to increase hypoxic survival time in mice. To determine if endogenous opioids alter the hypoxic conditioning-induced increase in hypoxic ...
Convergence of spinal trigeminal and cochlear nucleus projections in the inferior colliculus of the guinea pig
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-03-01)
In addition to ascending auditory inputs, the external cortex of the inferior colliculus (ICX) receives prominent somatosensory inputs. To elucidate the extent of interaction between auditory and somatosensory representations ...
Human intramuscular and cutaneous pain: psychophysical comparisons
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-04)
We used psychophysical methods to compare the central processing of nociceptive inputs from skin and muscle in ten normal humans. Both intramuscular electrical and infrared CO 2 laser cutaneous stimulation showed increasing ...
Excitatory amino acids have different effects on horizontal cells in eyecup and isolated retina
(Elsevier, 1987)
Horizontal cells in the mudpuppy eyecup responded to continuous superfusion with -gluamate, -aspartate, kainate and quisqualate with a transient depolarization and reduction of the light evoked responses. However, in ...
