Acetylcholinesterase activity in the pons and medulla oblongata of rats after chronic electroconvulsive shock.
An imbalance between cholinergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission has been proposed for the etiology of affective disorders. According to this hypothesis, depression would be the result of enhanced cholinergic and reduced noradrenergic neurotransmission. Repeated electroconvulsive shock (ECS) is an effective treatment for depression; moreover, in laboratory animals it induces changes in brai...
متن کاملA Remarkable Case of Hæmorrhage of the Pons-Varolii and Medulla-Oblongata
The case which I am about to record is a very remarkable one ; indeed in my experience it is unique. I do not know of any other case in which a haemorrhage slowly and gradually infiltrated the tissue of the pons Varolii and medulla oblongata and in which the haemorrhage ultimately extended from the top of the pons Varolii to the very bottom of the medulla oblongata ; in which after a small prim...
متن کاملOuabain-like immunoreactivity in the medulla oblongata of rats.
An isomer of ouabain, the ouabain-like compound (OI,C), may participate in the regulation of body fluid volume and vascular tone. Forebrain regions, especially the hypothalamus, are reported to be sites of OLC action in the central nervous system. The medulla oblongata is another critical area involved in central cardiovascular regulation. We reported that the microinjection of either monoclona...
متن کاملAlteration of microRNA expressions in the pons and medulla in rats after 3,3′-iminodipropionitrile administration
Although 3,3'-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) is widely used as a neurotoxicant to cause axonopathy due to accumulation of neurofilaments in several rodent models, its mechanism of neurotoxicity has not been fully understood. In particular, no information regarding microRNA (miRNA) alteration associated with IDPN is available. This study was conducted to reveal miRNA alteration related to IDPN-indu...
متن کاملUnit activity in the medulla oblongata of fishes.
(With Plate 2 and one Text-figure) Adrian & Buytendijk (1931) have recorded potential waves in respiratory rhythm from the isolated brainstem of the goldfish. The waves could continue for 1 hr. or more. During an investigation of the electrical activity of single cells in the central nervous system these results prompted us to explore with microelectrodes the medulla oblongata of fishes for uni...
