Promoters for Expression of Gene Products within Neurons and Glia
A central aim of gene therapy is to express a gene of interest in a specific population of cells. One method by which this aim might be achieved is...

Glial Cells Ontogeny in the Telencephalon and Mesencephalon of the Lizard Gallotia galloti
In contrast to the extensive literature on mammalian gliogenesis, relatively little attention has been paid to lower vertebrates and particularly to...

Molecular mechanisms of growth cone guidance: stop and go?
Evidence from pathfinding studies in both vertebrates and invertebrates indicates that growth cones are not guided by simple stop or go signals....

Self-organizing effects of spontaneous neural activity on the development of spinal locomotor circuits in vertebrates
Presented in this paper is a neural network model that can be used to investigate the possible self-organizing mechanisms occurring during the early...

Segmental and propriospinal projection systems of frog lumbar interneurons
Spinal interneuronal networks have been implicated in the coordination of reflex behaviors and limb postures in the spinal frog. As a first step in...

Comparative Neuroanatomy: Place, Principles and Programme
Comparative neuroanatomy or neuromorphology is a biological subdiscipline, the central aim of which is: the elucidation and interpretation of the...

The Meaning of It All
The preceding chapters of this work have presented a survey of our present knowledge of the structural organisation of the CNS of the various groups...

Effects of carbachol and catecholamines on ultrastructure and intracellular calcium-ion dynamics of acinar and myoepithelial cells of lacrimal glands
The current study was carried out to investigate autonomic nervous control of secretory functions in the lacrimal gland. To distinguish the...

Developmental expression of the CD15-epitope in the brainstem and spinal cord of the mouse
The expression of the 3-fucosyl-N-acetyl-lactosamine (FAL, CD15, Le x ) epitope has been examined immunohistochemically in paraffin sections of the...

Daily durations of spontaneous activity in cat’s ankle muscles
For an understanding of how various degrees of altered use (training, disuse) affect the properties of skeletal muscles, it is important to know how...

The Molecular Biology of the Sperm Surface
The membrane of testicular spermatozoa undergoes extensive changes in the epididymis, including rearrangement, modification and loss of pre-existing...

Molecular Mechanisms Regulating the Early Development of the Vertebrate Nervous System
The vertebrate nervous system arises from a pseudostratified epithelium, the neural plate, that is formed from the dorsal ectoderm of the embryo....

Amines and peptides in the brain of the American lobster: immunocytochemical localization patterns and implications for brain function
The distributions of serotonin- (5HT-), substance P- (SP-), small cardioactive peptide b- (SCP b- ), and histamine- (HA-) like immunoreactivities were...

Language and the Alzheimer Brain
Impairments of language are a common finding in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and it is thus important to gain a modern perspective on the...

Axial Skeleton
The development of the axial skeleton is a complex process that requires the coordinate regulation of many molecular and cellular events. Although we...

Electron microscopic localization and experimental modification of NADPH-diaphorase activity in crustacean sensory axons
The origin and ultrastructural localization of NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) in the olfactory afferent pathway of the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus ...

Construction and Representation of Visual Space in the Inferior Parietal Lobule
In human subjects, neurological case histories have provided details of striking deficits of cognitive functions. These findings have been...

Expression of the extracellular matrix protein tenascin in malignant and benign ovarian tumours
The extracellular matrix protein tenascin (TN) is overexpressed in a number of solid tumours. Thi however, is the first study to examine TN...

Onset of elastogenesis and downregulation of smooth muscle actin as distinguishing phenomena in artery differentiation in the chick embryo
During development, the arterial system is grossly divided into elastic and muscular vessel types. Apart from local environmental factors, it has...
