چکیده
Rats were exposed to a hypergravity (HG) level of 2.5×g from conception until the age of 14 weeks. The vestibular epithelia of four of these animals and four control animals were immunohistochemically labeled for actin and tubulin. The apical cross-sectional area of epithelial cells of HG exposed rats appeared to be larger in all end organs. Area increase was 7.0% in the utricle (p < 0.005) and 8.2% in the crista (p 0.001). Hair cells and supporting cells appeared to be intact. The cellular arrangement and the proportion of different cell types within the epithelia was normal. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

The nucleus of the basal optic root of the accessory optic system in birds is involved in optokinetic nystagmus, which stabilizes images on the retina by compensatory movements of the eyes. The present paper studies the physiological and morphological properties of basal optic neurons in the pigeon by using a brain slice preparation and intracellular recordings. Sixty-one cells examined could b...

β-Adrenoceptors (βARs) control cell replication/differentiation, and during development, signaling is not subject to desensitization. We examined the effects of terbutaline, a β2AR agonist used as a tocolytic, on development in rat brain regions and peripheral tissues with high βAR concentrations. Prenatal terbutaline (gestational days 17–20) decreased cell numbers (DNA content) in the fetal br...

Regulatory mechanisms in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) serves as a filter for unconditioned and conditioned aversive information that ascend to higher structures from the brainstem whereas the central nucleus (CeA) is the main output for the resultant defense reaction. We have shown that neural substrates in the inferior colliculus are activated by threatening stimuli of acousti...

Attachment of sister chromatids to microtubules from opposite spindle poles--bi-orientation--generates tension at the kinetochores. The Ipl1/Aurora B kinase responds to the absence of tension at mono-oriented chromosomes and promotes microtubule turnover and spindle checkpoint activation until a stable bi-oriented attachment is achieved.

We examined the effects of non-competitive NMDA glutamate receptor antagonists on seizures elicited by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and in particular, on the expression of the transcription factor c-fos induced by these seizures. Induction of c-fos mRNA due to 4-AP-elicited seizures was ascertained by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in samples of the neocortex. Adult rats were pretre...
