Alterations in local cerebral glucose utilisation in specific thalamic nuclei following apomorphine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The alterations in local cerebral glucose utilisation in eight discrete nuclei in the thalamus following the administration of apomorphine (0.5 mg kg-1) have been investigated with the autoradiographic 2-deoxyglucose technique in 11 conscious rats. In two thalamic nuclei (parafascicular and ventrolateral nuclei), glucose utilisation was significantly elevated following apomorphine; in two thalamic nuclei (the anterior medial and anterior ventral nuclei), glucose utilisation was significantly reduced following apomorphine; and in four nuclei (lateral geniculate, medial geniculate, mediodorsal, and lateral thalamic nuclei), glucose use was unchanged.

Apomorphine alters prey-catching patterns in the common toad: behavioral experiments and (14)C-2-deoxyglucose brain mapping studies.
Previous studies on the dopaminergic modulation of visuomotor functions in amphibians showed that the dopamine agonist apomorphine (APO) alters prey-catching strategies. After systemic administration of APO in common toads Bufo bufo, prey-oriented turning and locomotion was attenuated whereas snapping toward prey was facilitated in a dose dependent manner. With systemic APO administration, toad...

متن کاملSpecific and Non-Specific Thalamocortical Afferents to the Whisker–Related Sensory Cortical Region in Rats with Congenital Hypothyroidism
Background & Aims: Thyroid hormones are of great importance in the development of the central nervous system. Congenital hypothyroidism may affect the reorganization of specific and non-specific thalamocortical afferents to whisker–related sensory (wS1) corticol region in rats. Methods: Congenital hypothyroidism was induced by adding propylthiouracil (PTU) (25 ppm) to the rats...

Unilateral ablation of cerebral cortical areas 4 and 6 of Brodmann in the macaque monkey results in a contralateral hemiplegia that resolves partially with time. During the phase of dense hemiplegia, local cerebral metabolic rate for glucose (1CMRG1c) is decreased significantly in most of the thalamic nuclei ipsilateral to the ablation, and there are slight contralateral decreases. The lCMRGlc ...
