Carnosine uptake in rat choroid plexus primary cell cultures and choroid plexus whole tissue from PEPT2 null mice
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2004-04)
PEPT2 is functionally active and localized to the apical membrane of rat choroid plexus epithelial cells. However, little is known about the transport mechanisms of endogenous neuropeptides in choroid plexus, and the role ...
Functional regeneration of glossopharyngeal nerve through micromachined sieve electrode arrays
(Elsevier, 1992-10-23)
To assess the potential of micromachined silicon sieve electrodes for long term recording from single afferent sensory fibers, we implanted them between the cut ends of rat glossopharyngeal nerves which innervate taste and ...
Cutaneous pain and detection thresholds to short CO2 laser pulses in humans: Evidence on afferent mechanisms and the influence of varying stimulus conditions
(Elsevier, 1988-09)
Pain and detection thresholds to short CO2 laser pulses were studied in healthy human subjects. Pain thresholds were significantly higher than detection thresholds in both hairy and glabrous skin; in the glabrous skin both ...
The effect of systemic cocaine on spontaneous and nociceptively evoked activity of neurons in the medial and lateral thalamus
(Elsevier, 1990-05-28)
In rats, analgesic doses of cocaine (25 mg/kg, i.p.) suppressed the responses of 20 of 22 medial and lateral thalamic neurons to reticular formation and somatic noxious stimuli. The responses of 7 of 8 lateral thalamic ...
Neural basis of developing salt taste sensation: Response changes in fetal, postnatal, and adult sheep
(Alan R. Liss, Inc.Wiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1983-04-01)
To learn whether salt taste responses change during mammalian development, we recorded from multifiber preparations of the chorda tympani while stimulating the anterior tongue in sheep fetuses, lambs, and adults. Stimuli ...
Multiple functional domains are involved in tomosyn regulation of exocytosis
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-10)
The effect of systemic cocaine on the responses to noxious stimuli and spontaneous activity of medial bulboreticular projection neurons
(Elsevier, 1990-09-17)
The effect of antinociceptive doses of cocaine (25 mg/kg, i.p.) on unit responses to noxious somatic stimuli and spontaneous activity of antidromically identified projection neurons in the medial medullary reticular formation ...
Protein synthesis in skeletal muscle following acute exhaustive exercise
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-07)
Cell-free and whole-tissue protein synthesis was studied in skeletal muscle of untrained male guinea pigs that had undergone a treadmill run to exhaustion. Experiments using explants from the gastrocnemius muscle maintained ...
Input source and strength influences overall firing phase of model hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells during theta: Relevance to REM sleep reactivation and memory consolidation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-02)
In simulation studies using a realistic model CA1 pyramidal cell, we accounted for the shift in mean firing phase from theta cycle peaks to theta cycle troughs during rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep reactivation of hippocampal ...
Differential effects of chronic partial myelotomies on monoamine levels in cat spinal cord
(Elsevier, 1987-04-07)
The concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) were measured in samples of lumbar and cervical spinal cords from 6 cats with chronic (over 2 months) lesions of the thoracic spinal ...
