(ii) no significant difference was observed ... | 1992 | 1282228 |
| temporomandibular joint innervation in rats: a horseradish peroxidase study. | in the present study, we have used the horseradish peroxidase (hrp) retrograde transport technique to map the trigeminal primary afferent and motor neurons that innervate the temporomandibular joint (tmj) and the lateral pterygoid muscle (lpm). one to 3.0 microl of 4% wheatgerm agglutinin conjugated horseradish peroxidase (hrp-wga) solution was introduced unilaterally into the joint cavity of twelve sprague-dawley rats. injections were made from the above, following trephining of the zygomatic a ... | 1992 | 1282407 |
| postnatal development of area 17 callosal connections in tupaia. | the goal of the present study was to investigate the pattern of maturation of callosal projecting neurons in a well-studied mammalian visual system with unique structural and functional properties. studies of the distribution pattern of interhemispheric connections in the adult tree shrew primary visual cortex reveal not only a high concentration of labeled neurons along the area 17/18 border, as in standard experimental animals such as the cat and monkey, but also numerous callosal projecting n ... | 1992 | 1282524 |
| evidence for the existence of a projection from the dorsal column nuclei to the substantia nigra in the cat. | discrete injections of horseradish peroxidase in the substantia nigra of cats resulted in moderate to scant retrograde neuronal labeling of the contralateral dorsal column nuclei (nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus). a moderate number of degenerating synaptic boutons emanating from the axons of stereotaxically lesioned dorsal column nuclei were identified by electron microscopy in the neuropil of the contralateral substantia nigra zona compacta and its dorsal division-nucleus parabrachialis p ... | 1992 | 1282531 |
| innervation of the feline eyelids. | the innervation of the eyelids is incompletely understood. this is a particular problem for those who wish to develop animal models of eyelid dysfunction in humans. blepharospasm, for example, is a disease of uncontrolled eyelid spasm that is difficult to manage clinically because the aetiology is not understood. the anatomical literature on eyelid innervation is sparse and even conflicting. we attempted to study eyelid innervation, both sensory and motor, with injection of horseradish peroxidas ... | 1992 | 1282686 |
| does a cytoplasmic bridge connect the cns axon with the inner loop of myelin? | sarah luse (1959) reported over 30 years ago on the presence of a bridge connecting the axon to the myelin sheath in the central nervous system (cns). this notion has not been accepted in the literature. wolman (1992) found that the progress of demyelination in some viral diseases affecting the cns fits the concept of luse, as the process occurred primarily along the major dense line of myelin, which is in continuity with the cytoplasm of the oligodendroglial cell. injection of lucifer yellow (l ... | 1992 | 1282845 |
| corticocortical connections of cat primary somatosensory cortex. | the organization of corticocortical connections in the representation of the forepaw in cat primary somatosensory cortex (si) was studied following injections of various tracers into different cortical cytoarchitectonic areas. small injections of horseradish peroxidase, wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated hrp, phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinin, or fast blue were placed into the representation of the forepaw in areas 3b, 1, or 2. the positions of labeled neurons in si and the surrounding cortical a ... | 1992 | 1282890 |
| direct projections from the central amygdaloid nucleus to the globus pallidus and substantia nigra in the cat. | employing both anterograde and retrograde axonal tracing, we investigated direct projections from the central amygdaloid nucleus to the basal ganglia in the cat. the anterograde axonal tracing of phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin revealed that projection fibers from the central amygdaloid nucleus to the basal ganglia ended in the globus pallidus (the feline homolog to the external segment of the globus pallidus of primates) and substantia nigra. the amygdalopallidal fibers terminated chiefly in ... | 1992 | 1283209 |
| intra-axonal neurobiotin injection rapidly stains the long-range projections of identified trigeminal primary afferents in vivo: comparisons with hrp and pha-l. | currently available methods for studying the morphology of physiologically characterized primary afferents are limited by difficulties inherent in impaling thin fibers and by the limited distances over which conventional tracers move during the course of a recording session. we have encountered an alternative method that overcomes these limitations. neurobiotin (nb; vector) injections into rat trigeminal (v) primary afferents in the brain stem or v ganglion provided rapid, long-range staining wi ... | 1992 | 1283434 |
| synaptic connections of physiologically identified geniculocortical axons in kitten cortical area 17. | single geniculocortical axons were recorded in the cortical white matter of kittens and adult cats by using micropipettes filled with horseradish peroxidase (hrp). of 41 axons recovered in 4-5 week old kittens, three well-filled axons arborized in area 17; the remainder were incomplete or arborized in area 18. one axon had y-like physiological properties, two were x-like. they were recovered from two 34-day-old kittens. all three axons formed clustered arborizations, mainly in layer 4a. electron ... | 1992 | 1283635 |
| cerebellar connections of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus in the rat. | the connections between the deep cerebellar nuclei and the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (lgv) were investigated in rats using orthograde and retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. following injections into the deep cerebellar nuclei there was orthograde transport to the contralateral medial lgv and adjacent zona incerta. injections restricted to lgv consistently labelled a small cluster of cells in the contralateral posterior interposed nucleus. injections into regions surrounding ... | 1992 | 1284010 |
| hrp reacted with the chromogen o-tolidine produces whole-cell reaction product at light and electron microscope levels: negative effects of sucrose and golgi staining on benzidine reactions. | studies of pathway microcircuitry often require electron microscope analysis. to facilitate these analyses, methods for labeling cells in their entirety are extremely useful. furthermore, such a method would be most useful if the label would be completely confined by the cell membrane so that second labels for synapse identification could be used. no existing method reliably and repeatably produces this kind of a result. in seeking to develop such a method, a seldom-used chromogen for horseradis ... | 1992 | 1284166 |
| production and characterisation of a human monoclonal thyroid peroxidase autoantibody. | a human-mouse hybridoma has been produced by fusion of hashimoto thyroid lymphocytes with the mouse myeloma line x63-ag8.653. the cloned hybridoma secreted 2.5 micrograms per 10(6) cells per day of an igg kappa thyroid peroxidase (tpo) autoantibody (2g4) with high affinity (2.5 x 10(9) molar-1) and specificity for human tpo. 2g4 did not react with lactoperoxidase, horseradish peroxidase or human myeloperoxidase or with porcine tpo or with human thyroglobulin. plastic tubes coated with 2g4 bound ... | 1992 | 1284377 |
