Cells expressing preproenkephalin mRNA in the rat pineal gland are not serotonin-producing pinealocytes: Evidence usingin Situ hybridization combined with immunocytochemistry for serotonin

1. Preproenkephalin (PPEnk) mRNA expressing cells have been identified in rat pineal gland using radioactivein situ hybridization histochemistry.

Multiple kinetic components of exocytosis distinguished by neurotoxin sensitivity

The secretion of synaptic and other vesicles is a complex process involving multiple steps. Many molecular components of the secretory apparatus have been identified, but how they relate to the different stage...

Glial cell responses, complement and apolipoprotein J expression following axon injury in the neonatal rat

Immature motoneurons are highly susceptible to degeneration following axon injury. The response of perineuronal glia to axon injury may significantly influence neuronal survival and axon regeneration. We have ...

Visual input induces long-term potentiation of develo** retinotectal synapses

Early visual experience is essential in the refinement of develo** neural connections. In vivo whole-cell recording from the tectum of Xenopus tadpoles showed that repetitive dimming-light stimulation applied t...

Probing ion permeation and gating in a K⁺ channel with backbone mutations in the selectivity filter

Potassium channels selectively conduct K⁺ ions across cell membranes, and use diverse mechanisms to control their gating. We studied ion permeation and gating of an inwardly rectifying K⁺ channel by individually ...

Role of the chemokine SDF-1 as the meningeal attractant for embryonic cerebellar neurons

Migration of neuronal precursor cells from the external germinal layer (EGL) to the internal granular layer (IGL) is a crucial process in the development of the mammalian cerebellar cortex. These cells make up...

Differential regulation of synaptic and extra-synaptic NMDA receptors

A variety of processes limit NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor (NMDAR) activity in response to agonist exposure, including rundown—the decline of peak current with repeated, sustained agonist application^1,2,3,

A novel model of motor learning capable of develo** an optimal movement control law online from scratch

A computational model of a learning system (LS) is described that acquires knowledge and skill necessary for optimal control of a multisegmental limb dynamics (controlled object or CO), starting from “knowing”...

bHLH genes and retinal cell fate specification

The various cell types in the vertebrate retina arise from a pool of common progenitors. The way that the cell types are specified has been a long-standing issue. Decades of research have yielded a large body ...

Identification of Up-Regulated Genes After Complete Spinal Cord Transection in Adult Rats

Spinal cord injury (SCI) initiates a cascade of events and these responses to injury are likely to be mediated and reflected by changes in mRNA concentrations. As a step towards understanding the complex mecha...

The virtue of simplicity

Multiple local motions must be combined to determine the direction of object motion, which is harder than it seems. A new paper proposes an elegant and simple solution to this problem, eminently realizable in ...

Defining cortical frequency tuning with recurrent excitatory circuitry

Neurons in the recipient layers of sensory cortices receive excitatory input from two major sources: the feedforward thalamocortical and recurrent intracortical inputs. To address their respective functional r...
