Number of contractions to maintain mass and force of a denervated rat muscle
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-07)
Within 5 weeks, denervated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of rats lose 66% of mass, 91% of force, and 76% of fiber cross-sectional area (CSA). We previously determined the parameters of electrical stimulation for ...
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 ...
CCK antagonists reveal that CCK-8 and JMV-180 interact with different sites on the rat pancreatic acinar cell CCKA receptor
(Elsevier, 1994)
The ability of CCKA antagonists to inhibit full and partial CCK agonists of the rat pancreatic acinar cell CCKA receptor has been studied. When isolated rat pancreatic acini were superfused with CCK-8 (10 pM-1 nM) or CCK-4 ...
Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
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 ...
Conditional ablation and recovery of forebrain neurogenesis in the mouse
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-06-20)
Forebrain neurogenesis persists throughout life in the rodent subventricular zone (SVZ) and hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Several strategies have been employed to eliminate adult neurogenesis and thereby determine whether ...
Peptide transporter 2 (PEPT2) expression in brain protects against 5-aminolevulinic acid neurotoxicity
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-12)
Neurophysiological, pharmacological and behavioral evidence for medial thalamic mediation of cocaine-induced dopaminergic analgesia
(Elsevier, 1992-02-14)
These studies examined the effects of cocaine on thalamic neurons that respond maximally either to noxious or to innocuous somatic stimulation. Cocaine attenuated high intensity electrically-evoked nociceptive responses ...
