Cortical Control: Learning from the Lamprey
نویسندگان
چکیده
The function of the motor cortex has been a persistent mystery. A recent study has found striking correspondence between the descending projections of lamprey pallium and mammalian motor cortex, encouraging comparative studies of the origin (and role) of forebrain motor control.

Effect of human chorionic gonadotropin on sexual maturation, sex steroids and thyroid hormone levels in Caspian lamprey (Caspiomyzon wagneri Kessler, 1870).
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on sexual maturation, plasma sex steroids (17β-estradiol, E2 and 17α-hydroxy progesterone (17α OHP)) and thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine, T3 and thyroxin, T4) levels in upstream - migrating Caspian lamprey. During the experiment, 36 fish (24 females and 12 males) in spring 2013 and 36 fish (24 fema...
متن کاملResearch to Guide Use of Pheromones to Control Sea Lamprey
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) considers the application of sea lamprey pheromones a promising alternative-control method for its sea lamprey management program. Several components of two pheromones that regulate migration and reproduction, respectively, have been identified and synthesized. Potential utility of these pheromone compounds in lamprey management have been demonstrated i...
متن کاملUse of physiological knowledge to control the invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America is an example of using physiological knowledge to successfully control an invasive species and rehabilitate an ecosystem and valuable fishery. The parasitic sea lamprey contributed to the devastating collapse of native fish communities after invading the Great Lakes during the 1800s and early 1900s. Economic...
متن کاملToxic Effect of Colchicine on Hippocampal Cortical Area
Background and Objectives: Study of deleterious effect of neurotoxins on the animals' brain is a fascinating research plan. In this project, the damage effect of colchicine on the hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) was examined by the studying the hippocampal tissue. Materials and Methods: Injections of colchicine (1-75 μg/rat, intra- hippocampal CA1) were performed in cannulated male Wistar rat...
متن کاملThe emotive brain, the noradrenergic system, and cognition
Motivation and attention can have a profound influence on perception, learning and memory. Neuromodulatory systems, especially the noradrenergic (NE) system, co-vary with psychological states to modulate cortical arousal, influence sensory processing and promote synaptic plasticity. There is even some suggestion that the NE system might facilitate functional recovery after brain damage. Post-sy...
