Localization of glutaminase-like and aspartate aminotransferase-like immunoreactivity in neurons of cerebral neocortex.
The distribution of glutaminase (GLNase)- and aspartate aminotransferase (AATase)-immunoreactive cells was examined in the cerebral neocortex of rat and guinea pig and in the somatic sensorimotor and primary visual cortex of the Macaca fascicularis monkey. These enzymes are involved in the metabolism of glutamate and aspartate, two amino acids thought to be excitatory amino acid transmitters fo...
متن کاملPersistently Active, Pacemaker-Like Neurons in Neocortex
The neocortex is spontaneously active, however, the origin of this self-generated, patterned activity remains unknown. To detect potential "pacemaker cells," we use calcium imaging to directly identify neurons that discharge action potentials in the absence of synaptic transmissionin slices from juvenile mouse visual cortex. We characterize 60 of these neurons electrophysiologically and morphol...
متن کاملImmunocytochemical localization of aspartate aminotransferase immunoreactivity in cochlear nucleus of the guinea pig.
There is substantial evidence supporting the role of aspartate or glutamate as the neurotransmitter of the auditory nerve. The concentration of aspartate aminotransferase (L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1), an enzyme associated with the metabolism of these amino acids, is high in axons and terminals of the auditory nerve. Antibodies were raised against aspartate aminotran...
متن کاملLocalization and release of FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity in the cerebral neuroendocrine system of Manduca sexta.
The distribution of FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity (FLI) in the cerebral neuroendocrine system of the moth, Manduca sexta, is described and evidence is provided for calcium-dependent release of FLI from the neurohaemal organs. FLI was detected by indirect immunofluorescence in approximately 25 bilaterally symmetrical pairs of somata in the pupal protocerebrum. In addition, FLI was observed in ...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of D2 receptor-like immunoreactivity in midbrain dopamine neurons and their striatal targets.
Potential cellular substrates for functions ascribed to the dopamine D2 receptor were examined in rat brain using immunoperoxidase for localization of a D2 receptor peptide and immunogold staining for the catecholamine biosynthetic enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Specificity of the rat polyclonal antiserum, raised against a 15 amino acid fragment from the third intracellular loop of the D2 re...
