observations on the development of brainstem-spinal systems in the north american oppossum.the north american oppossum is born 12 to 13 days after conception and and is available for 90 days or more in an external pouch where it can be observed and experimentally manipulated. it is of particular interest that the hindlimbs of the newborn opossum are very immature and remain immobile for a week or more after birth. degeneration techniques reveal that immature brainstem axons are present within the marginal zone of the lumbosacral cord before hindlimb movements begin (our state i) and m ...1978690268
the afferent connections of the main and the accessory olfactory bulb formations in the rat: an experimental hrp-study.the afferent connections of the main and accessory olfactory bulbs in the rat were examined by injecting horseradish peroxidase (hrp) into one or the other of these structures either by microelectrophoresis or by hydraulic pressure. alternate sections were stained with newly developed hrp-procedures using either benzidine dihydrochloride (de olmos and heimer, '77) or tetramethyl-benzidine. eighteen to twenty-four hours after unilateral hrp injections confined to the main olfactory bulb, a large ...1978690266
the organization of neocortical projections from the ventroposterior thalamic complex in the marsupial brush-tailed possum, trichosurus vulpecula: a horseradish peroxidase study.retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) was used to determine the extent and some of the organizational details of the cortical projection of the ventroposterior thalamic complex (vp) in the marsupial brush-tailed possum, trichosurus vulpecula. the cortical projection field of vp is coincident with si as determined by electrophysiological methods, and would appear not to overlap fully the primary motor cortex. thus, in trichosurus it appears that the motor and somatic sensory cortic ...1978689987
amygdaloid projections to the mesencephalon, pons and medulla oblongata in the cat.amygdalotegmental projections were studied in 26 cats after injections of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) in the diencephalon, midbrain and lower brain stem and in 6 cats after injection of 3h-leucine in the amygdala. following hrp injections in the posterior hypothalamus, periaqueductal gray (pag) and tegmentum many retrogradely labeled neurons were present in the central nucleus (ce) of the amygdala, primarily ipsilaterally. injections of hrp in the posterior hypothalamus and mesencephalon also r ...1978689127
dopamine and noradrenaline neurons projecting to the septal area in the rat.the organisation of the catecholamine innervation of the rat spetal area was investigated by means of the glyoxylic acid fluorescence method in combination with dopamine uptake studies, lesions and retrograde tracing of horseradish peroxidase. the following catecholamine systems to the septum could be established: 1. the locus coreuleus noradrenergic system. these axons are widespread in the septum forming a moderately dense innervation in the anterior hippocampus, the medial septal nucleus, the ...1978688339
vascular permeability alterations to horseradish peroxidase in experimental brain injury.protein uptake and transport within the brain stem vasculature of mechanically brain injured cats was studied by means of both light and electron microscopy utilizing intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase as the protein tracer. in animals sustaining low grade head injuries not of sufficient intensity to elicit either microscopic, intraparenchymal hemorrhages or subtle, neuropathological responses, peroxidase extravasation was noted both in the vascular walls and in the surrounding parenc ...1978687980
interaction of phospholipid vesicles with rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture.we studied the interaction of positively and negatively charged unilamellar and multilamellar phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) with rat-liver parenchymal cells in primary monolayer culture. radioactive liposomal phosphatidylcholine was taken up more rapidly and to a larger extent from unilamellar than from multilamellar vesicles. no significant difference in uptake characteristics was observed between vesicles of different charge. the presence of serum greatly reduced uptake of liposomal phosph ...1978687666
[horseradish peroxidase labeled sources of the spinobulbar and spinothalamic fiber systems of the cat brain].a dense accumulation of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) positive neurons was found after bulbar hrp injections in the ipsilateral dorsal grey matter and in the intermediate zone on both sides. after thalamic injections the labelled neurons were located bilaterally in the ventral part of the intermediate zone. a conclusion is made that cells of the origin of the spinobulbar and spinothalamic tracts are located in the dorsal horn and in the intermediate zone of the spinal cord.1978683371
increased endocytosis with lysosomal activation in skeletal muscle of dystrophic mouse.endocytosis in dystrophic muscles was studied by a combination of biochemical, radiochemical, and light and electron microscopic techniques. it was observed that the uptake of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) and 3h-inulin in vitro was increased in leg skeletal muscles from dystrophic mice compared with littermate controls. endocytosis of hrp in vivo was also increased in dystrophic muscles. when hrp was administered intravenously, light microscopic examination of the muscles showed that the macromo ...1978681982
the influence of taipoxin on cholinergic synapses in the electric organ of torpedo marmorata.the influences of the snake venom taipoxin on the cholinergic synapses of the electric organ of torpedo mamorata were investigated. 1. in ultrathin sections presynaptic membrane indentations are noted under the influence of taipoxin/nacl. 2. the presynaptic membranes often show small interruptions. 3. in taipoxin/horseradish peroxidase incubated organ pieces typical omega-shaped indentations are found, but on the postsynaptic side. 4. the vesicle density decreased under the influence of the taip ...1978681922
pulmonary capillary and permeability during hemorrhagic shock.in previous experiments from this laboratory horseradish peroxidase was used to study the structural and functional characteristics of the normal canine pulmonary capillary membrane. the present study used the same technique to try to determine if any change occurred in the pulmonary capillary as a result of hemorrhagic shock. we found that hemorrhagic shock caused a fall (5 expt) or no change (2 expt) in estimated pulmonary transcapillary pressure based on starling's equation. however, lymphati ...1978681215
the prefrontal cortex of the cat: anatomical subdivisions based on retrograde labeling of cells in the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus.different areas of the frontal cortex of the cat were injected with small amounts of horseradish peroxidase. the region of labeled cells in the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus (md) were related to the injected areas. distinct relations between subdivisions of md and of the prefrontal cortex were established: a rather large central sector of md projects to the gyrus proreus and the anterior parts of the gyri sigmoideus, rectus, and frontalis. a narrow lateral band of anterior md neurons proje ...1978680047

the morphologic basis of proteinuria in experimental chronic serum sickness glomerulonephritis. a light and electron microscopic study using horseradish peroxidase and ferritin as tracers.the morphologic basis of proteinuria in experimental chronic serum sickness glomerulonephritis in rabbits was studied by light and electron microscopy using horseradish peroxidase (effective radius 30 a; mol. wt. 40,000) and ferritin (effective radius 60 a; mol. wt. 480,000) as protein tracers. it was found that more ferritin, but paradoxically, less horseradish peroxidase gained access to the urinary space. observations made by electron microscopy appeared to indicate a decreased permeability o ...1978662050
catecholamine innervation of the basal forebrain. iv. topography of the dopamine projection to the basal forebrain and neostriatum.in this study the location of dopamine (da) neuron perikarya in the rostral mesencephalon of the rat was determined using the glyoxylic acid fluorescence histochemical technique. subsequently the topography of the projection of these mesencephalic neurons on the basal forebrain and striatum was analyzed using the anterograde transport-autoradiographic tracing method and the retrograde transport-horseradish peroxidase (hrp) technique. the results of these anatomical studies were correlated with t ...1978659674
properties of the enteric nervous system: limitation of access of intravascular macromolecules to the myenteric plexus and muscularis externa.the possible presence of a blood-myenteric plexus barrier similar to the blood-nerve and blood-brain barriers was investigated. the myenteric plexus was found to be an enclosed tubular structure incompletely surrounded by a sheath of supporting cell processes. capillaries do not enter the plexus. the capillaries which supply the myenteric layer differ in structure from capillaries of other layers of the gut and are non-fenestrated. tracers, evans blue labeled albumin or horseradish peroxidase, r ...1978659670
organization and development of the brain stem auditory nuclei of the chicken: primary afferent projections.the pattern of primary auditory projections to the brain stem of young chickens was investigated using terminal degeneration methods and orthograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) or tritiated amino acid. of particular interest was the question of whether nucleus laminaris (nl) receives primary afferents. a study of silver-stained degeneration pattersn in nucleus magnocellularis (nm) and nl at three intervals following unilateral interruption of the cochlear nerve revealed that by 48 h ...1978659669
anatomy of germinal centers in mouse spleen, with special reference to "follicular dendritic cells".lymphocyte proliferation in germinal centers (gc's) is thought to be triggered by antigen retained extracellularly on the surface of special "dendritic" cells. the anatomy and function of these cells have not been studied directly or in detail. we therefore examined mouse spleen gc's developing in response to sheep erythrocyte stimulation. we found that distincitve "follicular dendritic cells" (fdc's) were present in both the gc and adjacent mantle region of secondary follicles. the large, irreg ...1978659510
selective binding, uptake, and retrograde transport of tetanus toxin by nerve terminals in the rat iris. an electron microscope study using colloidal gold as a tracer.a series of specific macromolecules (tetanus toxin, cholera toxin, nerve growth factor [ngf], and several lectins) have been shown to be transported retrogradely with high selectivity from terminals to cell bodies in various types of neurons. under identical experimental conditions (low protein concentrations injected), most other macromolecules, e.g. horseradish peroxidase (hrp), albumin, ferritin, are not transported in detectable amounts. in the present em study, we demonstrate selective bind ...1978659508
