Little is known of the course and distribution of blood vessels supplying and draining the hippozampus. Such information could be of value in designing and evaluating lesion and ablation experiments and may reflect spatial properties of neurons. This study mapped the distribution of major arteries and veins of the rat hippocampal formation. Arteries and veins of adult female Wistar rats anesthe...

A new genus of the crangonid shrimps, Syncrangon, is proposed for Crangon angusticauda De Haan, 1849 and C. (Sclerocrangon) angusticauda var. dentata Balss, 1914, both from East Asian waters. The new genus is readily distinguished from all known genera of the Crangonidae by the flattened middorsal carina and the deep groove on each lateral side of the middorsal carina on the third to sixth abdo...

Previous studies showed that postnatal irradiation of the hippocampal formation in the rat results in a marked reduction in the granule cell population of the area dentata with an attendant disruption of its normal cytoarchitecture. The present study was carried out to determine the effect of postnatal hippocampal irradiation on the pattern of hippocampal innervation by locus ceruleus norepinep...

The genus Porphyra comprises red algae known as laver. They are distributed throughout Asia and used as food in Korea and other countries. Five species of Porphyra (P. tenera, P. yezoensis, P. seriata, P. suborbiculata and P. dentata) are regarded as ecologically and economically important in Korea. We used random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to investigate their genetic diversity and phylo...

The relationship between long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission and the release of endogenous glutamate and aspartate has been investigated in the CA1 region of the hippocampus and in the fascia dentata of the anaesthetized rat. A high-frequency train of electrical stimulation of afferent pathways produced a long lasting (greater than 2 h) enhancement of the field excitatory postsynapt...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY To elucidate the population genetics and phylogeography of Scrophularia incisa, microsatellite primers were developed. We also applied these microsatellite markers to its closely related species S. dentata and S. kiriloviana. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using the compound microsatellite marker technique, 12 microsatellite primers were identified in S. incisa. The ...

Seaweeds have been verified to effectively reduce the nutrients of aquaculture wastewater, and increase economic output when commercially valuable species are utilized. Pyropia/Porphyra/Neopyropia/Neoporphyra important seafood resources globally, their growth bioremediation capacities affected by diverse biotic abiotic stressors. In this study, we investigated effects desiccation (0, 1, 2, 4, 6...
