Calbindin-D28k in cortical regions of the lizard Psammodromus algirus.
The morphology, distribution, and ultrastructural features of calbindin-D28k-immunoreactive neurons and fibers in the cortical regions of the lizard Psammodromus algirus, considered homologues to the mammalian hippocampal formation, were analyzed by using the peroxidase anti-peroxidase technique at the light and electron microscopic level. On the basis of staining properties and localization, t...
متن کاملOxidative stress decreases with elevation in the lizard Psammodromus algirus.
Oxidative stress is considered one of the main ecological and evolutionary forces. Several environmental stressors vary geographically and thus organisms inhabiting different sites face different oxidant environments. Nevertheless, there is scarce information about how oxidative damage and antioxidant defences vary geographically in animals. Here we study how oxidative stress varies from lowlan...
متن کاملNucleus accumbens in the lizard Psammodromus algirus: chemoarchitecture and cortical afferent connections.
To better understand the organization and evolution of the basal ganglia of vertebrates, in the present study we have analyzed the chemoarchitecture and the cortical input to the nucleus accumbens in the lacertid lizard Psammodromus algirus. The nucleus accumbens contains many gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-positive neurons and calbindin-positive neurons, the majority of which may be spiny proj...
متن کاملIntrinsic connections in the anterior dorsal ventricular ridge of the lizard Psammodromus algirus.
We have studied the intrinsic connections of the anterior dorsal ventricular ridge (ADVR) in the lacertid lizard Psammodromus algirus by means of retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and fluorescent labeling with the lipophilic carbocyanine dye DiI. We injected HRP into different regions in the ADVR arrayed in a medial-to-lateral sequence, with each consisting of three distinct ...
متن کاملCalcium-binding proteins in the dorsal ventricular ridge of the lizard Psammodromus algirus.
The aim of the present work was to study further the intrinsic organization of the dorsal ventricular ridge of lizards. For that purpose, the morphology and distribution of cells and fibers containing the calcium-binding proteins calbindin-D28k, parvalbumin, and calretinin were investigated by using immunohistochemical methods. Colocalization of calcium-binding proteins with the neurotransmitte...
