A stereotaxic method for sectioning the corpus callosum in cat

Analyzing the corpus callosum.

The corpus callosum has been recognized and studied for centuries. Although this structure appears to have been mentioned by Galen in the second century AD, the first available anatomic description appears to have been rendered by Vesalius in “De Humani Corporis Fabrica” (1543, translated by Clarke and O’Malley [1]). As reviewed by Njiokiktjien (2), speculation on the function of the corpus cal...

Protective effects of erythropoietin against cuprizone-induced oxidative stress and demyelination in the mouse corpus callosum

Objective(s): Increasing evidence in both experimental and clinical studies suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. The aim of the present work is to investigate the protective effects of erythropoietin against cuprizone-induced oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: Adult male C57BL/6J mice were fed a chow containing 0.2 % cuprizone for 6 ...

A stereotaxic atlas of the prefrontal cortex of the cat.

A survey of existing atlases of the cat's brain has revealed a lack of coronal sections on the levels of the prefrontal cortex. On the other hand, neurophysiological and behavioral studies of this region have increased greatly in recent years. As the extent of coronal sections through the prefrontal cortex was seen to differ markedly even at separations of 1 mm, a stereotaxic atlas was made on ...

A stereotaxic map of the bony tentorium of the cat.

THE bony tentorium cerebelli of the cat lies between the cerebellum and the cerebral hemispheres. Since its exact location and size are not indicated in the major atlases [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], its discovery often comes as an unpleasant surprise to investigators attempting to explore brain stem or cerebellar areas with depth electrodes or cannulae. A direct hit may destroy both the electrode being p...
