Response characteristics of lamb trigeminal neurons to stimulation of the oral cavity and epiglottis with different sensory modalities
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
A region of the trigeminal complex located at the border of the subnucleus interpolaris and subnucleus caudalis receives not only trigeminal nerve inputs from the face, tongue and palate, but also afferent terminations ...
Responses of neurons in the lamb nucleus tractus solitarius to stimulation of the caudal oral cavity and epiglottis with different stimulus modalities
(Elsevier, 1989-02-20)
Receptors located in the posterior oral cavity and on the epiglottis play an important role in the initiation of upper airway reflexes such as swallowing, gagging, coughing and apnea. Peripheral nerves which innervate these ...
Light-evoked sustained inhibition in mudpuppy retinal ganglion cells
(Elsevier, 1982)
Intracellular recordings were made from off-center ganglion cells in the retina of the mudpuppy. Necturus maculosus. Current-voltage measurements revealed that the sustained light-evoked hyperpolarization of these cells ...
Developmental changes in taste responses from glossopharyngeal nerve in sheep and comparisons with chorda tympani responses
(Elsevier, 1983-12)
To learn whether there are developmental changes in salt and acid taste responses from the posterior tongue, we recorded from the glossopharyngeal nerve, which innervates taste buds in circumvallate papillae, in sheep ...
Supraspinal nocifensive responses of cats: Spinal cord pathways, monoamines, and modulation
(Alan R. Liss, Inc.Wiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1988-04-22)
These experiments were conducted to determine (1) whether dorsal and ventral ascending spinal pathways can each mediate unlearned supraspinal nocifensive responses of cats to noxious thermal stimuli and (2) whether ...
Morphometric evaluation of brain infarcts in rats and gerbils
(Elsevier, 1986-11)
The Levine rat prepartion, the gerbil stroke model, and appropriate control animals were used to determine if the 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) would selectively identify noninfarcted versus infarcted cerebral ...
Demonstration of sensory innervation of rat tongue with anterogradely transported horseradish peroxidase
(Elsevier, 1986-03-05)
Wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase injected into the petrosal ganglion in rats was transported to the posterior tongue in the glossopharyngeal nerve. Labelled fibers innervated the ipsilateral foliate papilla ...
Neurovascular-anastomosed muscle grafts in rabbits: Functional deficits result from tendon repair
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-07)
In rabbits, 9 g rectus femoris (RFM) muscles were grafted with tendon repair and with (1) nerves and blood vessels intact, (2) nerves intact and blood vessels anastomosed, or (3) nerves and blood vessels anastomosed. The ...
Development of chorda tympani taste responses in rat
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1981-05-01)
To learn whether neurophysiological taste responses change during structural development of the gustatory system, we recorded from the chorda tympani nerve in rats aged 7 to 92 days after birth. Chemical stimuli applied ...
Histochemistry of fibres of masseter and temporalis muscles of edentulous monkeys Macaca mulatta
(Elsevier, 1980)
Muscle fibres of the masseter and temporalis muscles of female rhesus monkeys which had been edentulous for 4.5 yr were analysed histochemically. Fibres were classified on the basis of activities of succinic acid dehydrogenase ...
