Synaptic contacts from nodes of Ranvier in the granular layer of the frog cerebellum
The ultrastructure of nodes of Ranvier was examined in the granular layer of the cerebellum ofRana nigromaculata. Many of the nodes in the layer were modified to form synaptic contacts with dendrites, probably of...

Fine structure of the axon collaterals of Huber in frog spinal ganglia
The fine structure of intracapsular axon collaterals in the spinal ganglia ofRana nigromaculata nigromaculata has been studied. The collaterals originated from the initial tract of the axon, before its bifurcatio...

Structure, Expression and Function of Mouse Laminin
Basement membranes are thin extracellular matrices that separate epithelial and endothelial cells from underlaying stroma (Kefalides, 1973; Timpl and Martin, 1982). At the ultrastructural level, different zone...

The topographical organization of neurons in the dorsal hypothalamic area that project to the spinal cord or to the nucleus raphé pallidus in the rat
The present study was undertaken using retrograde labeling techniques to clarify whether the neurons in the dorsal hypothalamic area (DHA) that project to the spinal cord are the same as those that project to ...
