| an electron microscope study of the retino-receptive layers of the pigeon optic tectum. | the fine structure of the superficial layer of the optic tectum of the pigeon, columba livia, has been examined both in normal animals and after unilateral eye removal. optic afferent terminals distributed throughout sublaminae iia-f, are principally concentrated at three depths in the retinoreceptive zone. at first, degeneration of optic afferent terminals occurs as swelling of synaptic vesicles and accumulation of neurofilaments and later as dense degeneration. there appear to be several class ... | 1975 | 1150929 |
| effects of short and long term exercise on intracellular glycogen and fat in pigeon pectoralis. | in an attempt to determine the functional role of the component broad white and narrow red fibre types during activity, the pectroalis muscle of the adult pigeon (columba livia) was electrically stimulated in situ after anaesthetizing the birds with sodium pentobarbital. for examination of the effect of short term exercise, the pectoral muscle of one side was stimulated through the innervating brachial plexus, using an electronic stimulator for 1 hr, and a biopsy sample was taken from the stimul ... | 1975 | 1152305 |

| a cytoarchitectonic analysis of the spinal cord of the pigeon (columba livia). | the spinal gray of the pigeon is described cytoarchitectonically to establish a foundation for anatomical and physiological studies of the pigeon spinal cord. the material includes segments from the high cervical cord through the lumbosacral enlargement, and nine cellular layers are described. in addition to this laminar organization, various distinct cell groups such as the dorsal magnocellular column, column of terni, marginal cells and lobes of lachi are described. layers i-iv occupy the head ... | 1975 | 1165324 |
| spinal terminal fields of dorsal root fibers in the pigeon (columba livia). | this paper describes the spinal pattern of brachial and lumbosacral dorsal root terminations in the pigeon. these are presented within the framework of the cytoarchitectonic analysis of the preceding report (leonard and cohen, '75). at the level of dorsal root section and immediately adjacent sections dense terminal fields were evident throughout the ipsilateral dorsal horn (layers i-v), including the substantia gelatinosa. however, degeneration in the substantia gelatinosa was prominent only wi ... | 1975 | 1165325 |
| interhemispheric projections of the optic tectum in pigeon. | the anatomical patterns of intertectal pathways in pigeon (columba livia) were studied with modifications of the nauta-gygax silver technique following discrete unilateral tectal lesions. no homotopic connections between the two optic tecta were found. the data do not support an anatomical basis for the behavioral observation of interhemispheric reversal of left-right mirror-image patterns in monocularly trained pigeons. degenerated fibers of passage were identified in the tectal commissure, the ... | 1975 | 1174935 |
