چکیده
The anterograde transport and immunohistochemical demonstration of the lectin, Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) has been used to label thalamocortical axon terminals in barrels of mouse SmI cortex. The reaction product is visible with both the light and electron microscopes so that the distribution of axons and the types of synapses they form can be determined.

Retrograde Transport of the Lectin Phaseolus vulgaris
The transport properties of the leftin Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) were tested h the frog central nervous system. After delivery of the lectin to the lower brainstem by iontophoresis, stained axons and axon terminals, as well as neurons with richly arborizing dendrites, were observed in different regions of the brain and spinal cord even far away from the site of application. The...
متن کاملCholinergic Basal Forebrain Neurons Project to Cortical Microvessels in the Rat: Electron Microscopic Study with Anterogradely Transported Phaseolus vu/g&s Leucoagglutinin and Choline Acetyltransferase lmmunocytochemistry
Physiological evidence indicates that central cholinergic pathways are involved in the regulation of cerebral cortical blood flow. We investigated the possible contribution of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons from the substantia innominata (SI) to the innervation of cortical microvessels. Basalo-cortical perivascular nerve terminals were detected by light and electron microscopic immunocytoc...
متن کاملDifferential connectivity of short- vs. long-range extrinsic and intrinsic cortical inputs to perirhinal neurons.
The perirhinal cortex plays a critical role in recognition and associative memory. However, the network properties that support perirhinal contributions to memory are unclear. To shed light on this question, we compared the synaptic articulation of short- and long-range inputs from the perirhinal cortex or temporal neocortex with perirhinal neurons in rats. Iontophoretic injections of the anter...

The termination pattern of hippocamposeptal nonpyramidal cells was investigated by injecting Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHAL) into stratum oriens of the CA1 region. Electron microscopic analysis showed that the majority of the anterogradely labeled boutons formed symmetric synapses with dendrites and occasionally with cell bodies located in the medial septum-diagonal band of Broca comp...
متن کاملThalamocortical synapses with corticothalamic projection neurons in mouse SmI cortex: electron microscopic demonstration of a monosynaptic feedback loop.
Synapses between degenerating thalamocortical axon terminals and corticothalamic projection neurons labeled by the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase have been identified in mouse Sml cortex. This monosynaptic thalamocortical-corticothalamic feedback loop is suggested to be involved in reinforcing differences in the levels of excitation between parallel components of thalamocortical...
