Behavior of horizontal semicircular canal afferents in alert monkey during vestibular and optokinetic stimulation

Summary The behavior of single vestibular nerve fibers from the lateral semicircular canal was recorded during sinusoidal oscillations of the head, during optokinetic stimulation with the head stationary, and during spontaneous oculomotor behavior in the alert monkey. The response of similar fibers to adequate vestibular stimulation was also studied in some of the animals under deeply anesthetized conditions. In the alert animals all units were spontaneously active and their discharge was modulated only by adequate vestibular stimulation. Ipsilateral horizontal rotations of the head were excitatory for all units. No modification of this basic vestibular response by visual stimulation including full-field striped drum rotation was observed. Furthermore no correlation of unit activity with oculomotor function including voluntary saccadic and pursuit eye movements was found in any of the units. The regularity of spontaneous discharge was the most consistent characteristic that differentiated the unit response into types. Most units were very regular in discharge, but a few were very irregular. The averaging of unit discharge over several cycles of oscillatory head rotation showed that the irregular type units were also consistently modulated by adequate vestibular stimulation. Both regular and irregular type units were found in the anesthetized animals. Unimodal distributions of the quantitative values for unit resting discharge rate, sensitivity, and phase relationship were found. The distributions for these three parameters were similar in the units recorded in the anesthetized animals. Thus at least these characteristics of semicircular canal response seem not to be affected by the vestibular efferent system which should be altered or eliminated in the case of the anesthetized animals.Research supported by NIH Grant EY0995-04.

非细胞体系核重构过程的超微结构研究

用电镜观察Lambda DNA与非洲爪蟾卵提取物在非细胞体系内的核重构,发现Lambda DNA首先诱导形成类染色质结构,膜泡、核孔复合体围绕这一结构组装成双层核膜,同时类染色质也随着核膜的装配,表现出从致密凝聚到呈现松散均匀分布的变化。有工作表明,在由染色质诱导的核重构过程中,或者是膜泡先与染色质结合,然后有核孔出现,或者是核孔物质先与染色质作用,膜泡通过结合核孔物质形成双层核膜。我们观察由外源DNA诱导的核重构过程,则发现膜泡与核孔复合体先分别独立地与类染色质结构相互作用,然后核孔复合体再镶嵌到双层核膜中。

Effect of acute ammonia intoxication on energy stores in the cerebral reticular activating system

Summary Ammonia intoxication causes loss of consciousness. One postulated mechanism for this stipulates impaired energy metabolism in critical brain sites. The ascending reticular activating system in the brainstem may modulate consciousness. Accordingly, the present study, using micromethods, assessed energy stores in cells from the reticular activating system of mice acutely intoxicated with ammonia. In the early coma period (3.5 min after ammonia) phosphocreatine, adenosine triphosphate and glucose fell significantly while glycogen decreased later. Subsequently during coma, the high energy phosphates returned to normal and supranormal. The maximal fall in these metabolites was not accompanied by a rise in lactate, implying lack of local hypoxia or acidosis. The cells of the posterior colliculus in the same animals failed to show a significant fall in energy stores. These data suggest a selective effect of ammonia on energy metabolism in the cells of the reticular activating system of the brainstem.Abbreviations NH Ammonia - ATP Adenosine Triphosphate - PC Phosphocreatine - RAS Reticular Activating System Presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of the Study of the Liver Disease, Chicago, 1980Supported in part by USPHS Grant N.S. 16621

An empirical study of the structure of the patrol/marking motivational system in the rat

The existence and structure of an hypothesized motivational system of patrol/marking was supported and elucidated by a behavioral study on untrained highly inbred laboratory rats. One rat (the "runner") was placed into a test chamber containing a wire-mesh running wheel flanked by two chambers, one of which contained another rat (the "target"). Four conditions of runners (socially-isolated males, socially-housed males, non-estrous females, and estrous females) were exposed to four types of targets (socially-housed males, non-estrous females, estrous females, and blank targets consisting of any empty target chamber). Also placed in the chamber was a Petri dish containing scent-markings of the target rat. The experiment was designed in a counterbalanced way with 10 replications and repeated two times in two separate years. As predicted from the hypothesis, scent-marking, sniffing the dish, locomotion (number of wheel revolutions), and approach (differential running towards the target) were all correlated with each other and varied in the same way as a function of the hormonal and experiential condition of the runner and the type of target. They were interpreted to reflect motor patterns of a single unitary patrol/marking motivational system. Grooming, on the other hand, did not correlate with the other behaviors and facial gland secretion was, therefore, rejected as a motor pattern of patrol/marking.
