PAC1-expressing structures of neural retina alter their PAC1 isoform splicing during postnatal development
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a member of the secretin/glucagon/vasoactive intestinal peptide family, exerts various effects on neuronal development as mediated by the differentia...

Open AccessElectrophysiological Evidence for Push-Pull Interactions in the Inner Retina of Turtle
The responses of the inner retinal neurons of turtle to light spots of sizes were studied in an attempt to reveal characteristics that may reflect possible interactions of the neural circuits underlying the ce...

Some neurohistochemical properties of nerve elements in myenteric plexus of rabbit ileum: similarities and dissimilarities to the rodent pattern
Enteric neurons have distinct neurochemical codings in each species. The basal tone of the gastrointestinal tract of the rabbit is low and produces neurally evoked pendular movements. Therefore, it might have ...

GABA-immunoreactive neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system of the earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta, Annelida)
The distribution of neurons immunoreactive for γ-aminobutyric acid was studied in the nervous system of Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta). In the cerebral ganglion, the 86 cells immunoreactive for γ-aminobutyric...

Morphology and distribution of Müller cells in the retina of the toad Bufo marinus
We have previously shown that an antibody against neuron-specific enolase (NSE) selectively labels Müller cells (MCs) in the anuran retina (Wilhelm et al. 1992). In the present study the light- and electron-mi...

Quantitative analysis of GABA-immunoreactive synapses in the inner plexiform layer of theBufo marinus retina: identification of direct output to ganglion cells and contacts with dopaminergic amacrine cells
We have recently reported that about 50% of amacrine cells and some of the bipolar and ganglion cells are GABA-immunoreactive in the retina ofBufo marinus. Synapses formed by these elements in the inner plexiform...

Neuron-specific enolase-like immunoreactivity in the vertebrate retina: selective labelling of Müller cells in Anura
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) immunocytochemistry was carried out in retinae of goldfish, axolotl, clawed frog, cane toad, lizard, chick, guinea-pig, rabbit, rat, cat and human. With the exception of Anura, st...

Distribution of substance p-like immunoreactivity in nerves of the gastrointestinal tract of the frogRana esculenta L.
Substance P-like immunoreactivity in the alimentary canal of the frogRana esculenta L. was studied by means of the indirect immunoperoxidase method. In all segments of the gastrointestinal tract, immunoreactivity...

Distribution of GABA-like immunoreactivity in myenteric plexus of carp, frog and chicken
The distribution of GABA-like immunoreactivity was studied by means of indirect immunocytochemical methods in some lower vertebrate species (carp, frog, chicken). An immunoreactive network was revealed in the ...

Light and electron microscopic localization of GABA-like immunoreactivity in myenteric plexus of chicken
Whole-mounts of 1-day-old chicken midgut were incubated with an antiserum against GABA-glutaraldehyde-BSA conjugate. The immunoreaction was visualized by using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, and process...

Demonstration of GABA-like immunoreactivity in myenteric plexus of frog stomach
The GABAergic innervation of the frog stomach was studied by means of an indirect immunohistochemical method. Whole mount preparations were obtained from frog stomachs after the animals had been perfused with ...
