the distribution of glutamic acid decarboxylase immunoreactivity in the diencephalon of the opossum and rabbit.we have examined the distribution of neurons and terminals immunoreactive for glutamic acid decarboxylase (gad) in the thalamus and adjacent structures of the opossum (didelphis virginiana) and the rabbit and have compared this distribution with the distributions we described previously for the cat and bushbaby (galago senegalensis). the significance of these experiments depends, first, on the fact that gad is the synthetic enzyme for gaba, and therefore that gad immunoreactivity is a marker for ...19846090511
spinal projections from the medullary reticular formation of the north american opossum: heterogeneity.retrograde and orthograde transport techniques show that the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis pars ventralis and the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis project the entire length of the spinal cord. double-labelling methods show that some of the neurons in each area innervate both cervical and lumbar levels. there is evidence, however, that neurons in the lateral part of the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis pars ventralis and the dorsal extreme of the nucleus reticularis gigantocellu ...19816110678
the brainstem origin of monoaminergic projections to the spinal cord of the north american opossum: a study using fluorescent tracers and fluorescence histochemistry.the retrograde transport of fluorescent markers has been combined with the glyoxylic acid and falck-hillarp techniques to identify the origin of monoamine axons within the spinal cord of the north american opossum. catecholamine axons arise from neurons located within the ventrolateral medulla, dorsal to the superior olivary complex, within the dorsolateral and rostrolateral pons and within the periventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. such neurons are most numerous within the dorsolateral pon ...20076129037
comparative aspects of methemoglobin formation and reduction in opossum (didelphis virginiana) and human erythrocytes.glucose-depleted, nitrite-treated opossum erythrocytes effectively reduce methemoglobin in an environment of physiological saline and added glucose does not accelerate the rate of reduction. in autologous plasma or 25 mm phosphate-buffered saline ph 7.4, added glucose significantly accelerates methemoglobin reduction in glucose-depleted, nitrite-treated opossum erythrocytes. human red cells require added glucose to carry out reduction of methemoglobin and increased phosphate concentration or aut ...19836137318
why so many mammalian spermatozoa--a clue from marsupials?mammals generally ejaculate many more spermatozoa than seem to be needed for fertilization. this apparent profligacy has not been explained, but observations made in marsupials may shed light on it. the virginia opossum, didelphis virginiana, inseminates only about three million spermatozoa, a very low number. as a corollary, relatively few (ca. 13 x 10(6] are stored in each cauda epididymidis. however, some 5% of the spermatozoa that the opossum ejaculates populate the oviduct about 12 h later ...19846145161

immunohistochemical localization of substance-p, somatostatin, and methionine-enkephalin in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia of the north american opossum, didelphis virginiana.the occurrence and distribution of substance-p (sp), somatostatin (som), and enkephalin (enk) were studied in the north american opossum, a generalized marsupial. substance-p immunoreactivity was present in the tract of lissauer as well as within lamina i, the outer part of lamina ii, the lateral portion of laminae iii through vii, and lamina x at all spinal levels. although present, it was very spare in the ventral horn. substance-p was also localized within autonomic areas of the thoracolumbar ...19816165743
evidence for collateral innervation of the cervical and lumbar enlargements of the spinal cord by single reticular and raphe neurons. studies using fluorescent markers in double-labeling experiments on the north american opossum.the use of fluorescent markers in double-labeling experiments reveals the presence of reticular and raphe neurons in the opossum's brainstem which innervate both the cervical and lumbar enlargements of the spinal cord by way of axonal collaterals. such neurons were mixed with those innervating either the cervical or lumber enlargement alone and were found within the nuclei reticularis medullae oblongatae dorsalis and ventralis, the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis, the nucleus reticularis g ...19816167916
the distribution of ganglion cells in the retina of the north american opossum (didelphis virginiana).the distribution of ganglion cells in the retina of the opossum was determined from whole-mounted retinae stained with cresyl violet. isodensity lines were approximately circular with a peak density of 2,000 to 2,700 cells/mm2 in superior temporal retina (area centralis). the total number of retinal ganglion cells was estimated to be 72,000 to 135,000 (mean 101,026) in retinae ranging from 125 to 187 mm2 in total area. three groups of ganglion cells were distinguished on the basis of soma size a ...19816168666
conduction of velocity groups in the optic nerve of the north american opossum (didelphis virginiana): retinal origins and central projections.the axonal conduction velocity groups in the optic nerve of the north american opossum were analyzed electrophysiologically and related to soma size groups of ganglion cells in terms of their retinal origin and laterality of projection. on the basis of analysis of field potentials and single unit responses recorded at the optic disc, three velocity groups were identified (d1, d2, and d3) and estimated to have average conduction velocities of 12, 8, and 5 meters/second. from recordings of the fie ...19816168667
evidence for a lack of distinct rubrospinal somatotopy in the north american opossum and for collateral innervation of the cervical and lumbar enlargements by single rubral neurons.studies using axonal transport techniques on the north american opossum show that rubral neurons innervating the cervical cord are not distinctly separated from those which project to lumbar levels. the absence of clear rubrospinal somatotopy contrasts with that described for the placental mammals studied to date. use of fluorescent markers in double-labeling experiments shows that most rubral neurons in the opossum still innervate either the cervical or lumbar enlargement alone, but that some s ...19816169748

a double-labelling study of reticular collaterals to the spinal cord and cerebellum of the north american opossum.injections of horseradish peroxidase into either the spinal cord or cerebellum label neurons in the gigantocellular and lateral reticular nuclei of the north american opossum. in order to determine if neurons which project to the spinal cord and cerebellum are intermingled in these two nuclei and if single neurons provide collaterals to both areas, we have employed fluorescent markers in double-labelling experiments. our results show that reticular neurons innervating either the spinal cord or c ...19846205332
a study of overlap and collateralization of bulbar reticular and raphe neurons which project to the spinal cord and diencephalon of the north american opossum.labeled neurons were found in most reticular and raphe nuclei of the opossum's medulla after horseradish peroxidase (hrp) injections into either the spinal cord or diencephalon. the labeling produced by spinal injections differed somewhat from that produced by diencephalic ones, but hrp-positive neurons were found in what appeared to be comparable areas. in order to study the intermingling of bulbospinal and bulbodiencephalic neurons more directly, we used fluorescent markers (true blue, nuclear ...19846205718
