Spontaneous motor activity in fetal and infant rats is organized into discrete multilimb bouts.
Spontaneous motor activity (SMA) is a ubiquitous feature of fetal and infant behavior. Although SMA appears random, successive limb movements often occur in bouts. Bout organization was evident at all ages in fetal (embryonic day [E] 17-21) and infant (postnatal day [P] 1-9) rats, with nearly all bouts comprising 1-4 movements of different limbs. A computational model of SMA, including spontane...
متن کاملFetal cyclic motor activity in diabetic pregnancies: sensitivity to maternal blood glucose.
Spontaneous fetal movement in the last third of human gestation is dominated by irregular oscillations on a scale of minutes (cyclic motility, CM). The core properties of these oscillations are stable during the third trimester of gestation in normal fetuses, but disrupted by poorly controlled maternal diabetes. Here we investigated whether fetal CM is linked to short-term instabilities in mate...
متن کاملMorphometric development of sheep (Ovis aries) lymph nodes in fetal period
Immune system plays crucial role in body and lymph nodes are essential parts of this system for combating pathogens. However, no study has ever been conducted on morphometric development of sheep lymph nodes in fetal period. Thus, this study attempted to examine the morphometric characteristics of a number of important lymph nodes of some lymphocenters of sheep during fetal period. To this end,...
متن کاملAcute placentitis and spontaneous abortion caused by chlamydia psittaci of sheep origin: a histological and ultrastructural study.
A sheep farmer's wife who had been assisting with lambing developed an influenza like illness in the 28th week of pregnancy. After five days of malaise she spontaneously delivered a stillborn infant; she became acutely ill during the immediate postpartum period with septicaemic shock, acute renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The diagnosis was made by isolation and identi...
متن کاملFinal Acceptred Version Jn-00735-2005.r2 Rhythmic Neuronal Discharge in the Medulla and Spinal Cord of Fetal Rats in the Absence of Synaptic Transmission
Spontaneous rhythmic neuronal activity is generated in the developing vertebrate nervous system. The patterned activity spreads diffusely throughout the fetal neuraxis. Here we demonstrate the ability of the fetal rat spinal cord and medulla to generate and transmit robust rhythmic patterns in the absence of synaptic activity. Regular rhythmic discharges were produced by fetal tissue bathed in ...
