Analysis of corpus callosum fiber composition reveals that inter-hemispheric transmission time may put constraints on the development of inter-hemispheric synchronic ensembles, especially in species with large brains like ...

The aim of this study was to describe in detail the microanatomy of the cerebral sulci and gyri, clarifying the nomenclature for microneurosurgical purposes. An extensive review of the literature regarding the historical, ...

The orbitofrontal cortex (OfC) is a heterogeneous prefrontal sector selectively connected with a wide constellation of other prefrontal, limbic, sensory and premotor areas. Among the limbic cortical connections, the ones ...

Endoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from rat brain cortex and fused with lipid bilayers displayed ryanodine-sensitive calcium channels, with three cytoplasmic calcium dependences. A: Channels (n = 5) stimulated by Ca2+ ...

Conditions were found for stabilizing rat brain cortex kainic acid (KA) receptors. Such receptors had the same Hill number (about 0.6) for KA and for glutamate. The receptors were then used as detectors for endogenous ...

Rat brain cortex synaptic vesicles have been isolated by 3 different procedures. The one of Hata et al. (J. Neurochem., 27 (1976) 139) gave synaptic vesicles with a high glutamate content, but also, as judged by [3H]ouabain ...
