localization of cholinesterase activity in the outer plexiform layer of the larval tiger salamander retina.acetylcholinesterase activity, which may be indicative of cholinergic synapses, has been ultrastructurally localized in the outer plexiform layer of the larval tiger salamander retina using the cholinesterase staining method of karnovsky and roots. in the presence of the butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor, ethopropazine, precipitate is localized to discrete 'stain laminae' about 300 nm in their largest dimension and bounded by a 10 nm wide electron-lucent gap. stain laminae are predominantly found ...19846140990
effect of changes in intra- and extracellular sodium on the inward (anomalous) rectification in salamander photoreceptors.solitary rod inner segments were obtained by enzymic dissociation of the tiger salamander retina. ih, an inward current activated by membrane hyperpolarization, was studied using the single-pipette voltage-clamp technique with patch pipettes. in order to investigate ih in isolation from voltage-dependent potassium and calcium currents, it was necessary to superfuse with a solution containing tea and cobalt. when the solution in the patch pipette contained 45 mm-kcl and 50 mm-nacl, the characteri ...19846323702
comparison of the spatial and temporal expression of supernatant malate dehydrogenase in barbus hybrids (cypriniformes, teleostei).the tissue specificity and ontogeny of supernatant malate dehydrogenase (s-mdh) are reported for the tiger barb, cherry barb, and their reciprocal hybrids. the tissue distribution of s-mdh isozymes in barbus is consistent with the patterns reported in other teleosts. the expression of the mdh-b locus is correlated with the initial muscle contractions of the developing embryos. it is suggested that the state of muscle cell differentiation may be the stimulus necessary for the expression of this l ...19846744821

cardenolide sequestration by the dogbane tiger moth (cycnia tenera; arctiidae).cycnia tenera adults, reared as larvae onasclepias humistrata, had 10 times higher cardenolide concentrations, and contained 15 times more total cardenolide, than did moths reared ona. tuberosa. thin-layer chromatography confirmed that each individual cardenolide visualized in the adult moths reared on the former host plant corresponds to one present in the plant, thus demonstrating that the insects' cardenolides are indeed derived from the larval food. adult weights were significantly greater w ...198324407459
a sign-reversing pathway from rods to double and single cones in the retina of the tiger salamander.signal transmission between rods and cones was studied by passing current into a rod and recording the voltage response in a nearby double or single cone and vice versa. two types of rod-cone interaction were found. between immediately adjacent rods and cones, passage of current into either receptor elicited in the other receptor a sustained voltage response of the same sign as the injected current. these signals were still seen in the presence of co2+, and are probably mediated by the electrica ...19836308225
receptive field properties of horizontal cells in the tiger salamander retina: contributions of rods and cones.the spatial properties of horizontal cells in the tiger salamander retina were studied with intracellular electrodes. it was found that when the rod input to horizontal cells is dominant the receptive fields are smaller than those measured under conditions of strong cone activation. a possible explanation for this finding is that rod signals undergo greater lateral attenuation within the horizontal cell network.19836649430

behaviour of the rod network in the tiger salamander retina mediated by membrane properties of individual rods.1. the spread of electrical signals between rods in the salamander retina was examined by passing current into one rod and recording the voltage responses in nearby rods. rod network behaviour, measured in this way, was simulated from data on rod membrane properties gathered in voltage-clamp experiments on single isolated rods.2. the network voltage responses to square current pulses became smaller, more transient, and had a longer time-to-peak, for rods further away from the site of current inj ...19807252867
trypsin fails as australian snake bite cure.trypsin has been claimed a new and effective treatment for venomous snake bite. we found that significant inactivation of snake venom lethal potency occurred in vitro when trypsin was incubated with venom and subsequently injected into mice. premixing of tiger snake venom (tsv) and trypsin just before injection did not significantly increase the survival rate of mice over that of controls injected with tsv alone. trypsin injected 10 to 30 minutes after tsv injection did not increase the survival ...19807453612
light-induced changes in membrane current in cone outer segments of tiger salamander and turtle.the peak change in membrane conductance of vertebrate photoreceptors in response to the isomerization of a single photopigment has been estimated from recordings of membrane potential to be about 8 ps in rods and 6 ps in cones. for rods the estimate has been largely confirmed by yau et al. by directly recording membrane current responses of rod outer segments to single photoisomerizations. however, no similar measurements have been reported for cone outer segments. here, we report on direct reco ...19806253799

word context effects on letter recognition.24 subjects were asked to determine whether a target letter was present in a tachistoscopically exposed word. the presence of the target was detected faster if the target was clarly sounded in the word, that is, the target g in the word tiger was detected faster than the target g in the word right. this effect was strongest among subjects whose over-all response time was below the median value. this result was interpreted as evidence that (1) a word is recognized as a whole before its component ...1979482048
synaptic inputs to the ganglion cells in the tiger salamander retina.the postsynaptic potentials (psps) that form the ganglion cell light response were isolated by polarizing the cell membrane with extrinsic currents while stimulating at either the center or surround of the cell's receptive field. the time-course and receptive field properties of the psps were correlated with those of the bipolar and amacrine cells. the tiger salamander retina contains four main types of ganglion cell: "on" center, "off" center, "on-off", and a "hybrid" cell that responds transie ...1979438772
