The 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein (Hsc73) gene is enhanced by ovarian hormones in the ventromedial hypothalamus.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1999-02-16)
Estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) orchestrate many cellular responses involved in
female reproductive physiology, including reproductive behaviors. E- and P-binding
neurons important for lordosis behavior have been located ...
A screw microdrive for adjustable chronic unit recording in monkeys.
(J Neurosci Methods, 1998-06-01)
A screw microdrive is described that attaches to the grid system used for recording
single neurons from brains of awake behaving monkeys. Multiple screwdrives can be
mounted on a grid over a single cranial opening. This ...
For whom the bird sings: context-dependent gene expression.
(Neuron, 1998-10)
Male zebra finches display two song behaviors: directed and undirected singing. The
two differ little in the vocalizations produced but greatly in how song is delivered.
"Directed" song is usually accompanied by a courtship ...
Reversible inactivation of macaque dorsomedial frontal cortex: effects on saccades and fixations.
(Exp Brain Res, 1999-02)
Neural recording and electrical stimulation results suggest that the dorsomedial frontal
cortex (DMFC) of macaque is involved in oculomotor behavior. We reversibly inactivated
the DMFC using lidocaine and examined how saccadic ...
EAE cerebrospinal fluid augments in vitro phagocytosis and metabolism of CNS myelin by macrophages.
(J Neurosci Res, 1992-07)
Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that CNS myelin is phagocytized and
metabolized by cultured rat macrophages to a much larger extent when myelin is pretreated
with serum containing antibodies to ...
Effective spread and timecourse of neural inactivation caused by lidocaine injection in monkey cerebral cortex.
(J Neurosci Methods, 1997-06-06)
We studied the effective spread of lidocaine to inactivate neural tissue in the frontal
cortex of the rhesus monkey. Injections of 2% lidocaine at 4 microl/min were made
while units were recorded 1 or 2 mm away. To inactivate ...
Brain gene regulation by territorial singing behavior in freely ranging songbirds.
(Neuroreport, 1997-05-27)
To investigate the ecological relevance of brain gene regulation associated with singing
behavior in songbirds, we challenged freely ranging song sparrows with conspecific
song playbacks within their breeding territories. ...
Express saccades elicited during visual scan in the monkey.
(Vision Res, 1994-08)
Monkeys trained to saccade to visual targets can develop separate "express" and "regular"
modes in their distribution of saccadic latencies. The purpose of this study was to
determine whether this occurs under more natural ...
Electrically evoked saccades from the dorsomedial frontal cortex and frontal eye fields: a parametric evaluation reveals differences between areas.
(Exp Brain Res, 1997-12)
Using electrical stimulation to evoke saccades from the dorsomedial frontal cortex
(DMFC) and frontal eye fields (FEF) of rhesus monkeys, parametric tests were conducted
to compare the excitability properties of these regions. ...
Induction of anti-myelin antibodies in EAE and their possible role in demyelination.
(J Neurosci Res, 1991-12)
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis is characterized by invasion of lymphocytes
and macrophages into the central nervous system resulting in inflammation, edema,
and demyelination. Sera from Lewis rats from 7-95 days ...
