Effect of brain electrostimulation on antennal regeneration in Lithobius forficatus L. (Myriapoda:Chilopoda). Preliminary note.

Endocrine Events during the Life Cycle of Lithobius forficatus L

Electrophysiological evidence for direct ecdysteroid action on the brain in Lithobius forficatus L. (Myriapoda: Chilopoda).

Electrical activity of the brain of Lithobius forficatus has been recorded. The addition of ecdysteroids (moulting hormone) in the haemolymph increased the frequency and amplitude of electrical response. Such a stimulation might be specific to these products since cholesterol and juvenile hormone had no action. The destruction or removal of various parts of the cephalic endocrine system demonst...

A novel type of RNA editing occurs in the mitochondrial tRNAs of the centipede Lithobius forficatus.

We determined the complete mtDNA sequence of the centipede Lithobius forficatus and found that only one of the 22 inferred tRNA genes encodes a fully paired aminoacyl acceptor stem. The other 21 genes encode tRNAs with up to five mismatches in these stems, and some of these overlap extensively with the downstream genes. Because a well-paired acceptor stem is required for proper tRNA functioning...

THE EFFECT OF ELECTROSTIMULATION ON CALORIC-INDUCED NYSTAGMUS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

The objective of this study was to describe the role of electrical stimulation in controlling peripheral vertigo. In a prospective study on 13 healthy volunteers, nystagmus was induced with caloric stimulation and the interval of nystagmus disappearance was recorded. This time indicates the basal response of vestibular end-organ. After caloric irrigation, pulsed signal was applied for each...

Non-invasive selective transcranial electrostimulation of the brain endorphinergic structures activates regeneration of hepatocytes and pancreatic beta-cells

It was earlier shown that the selective transcranial electrostimulation (TES) of endorphinergic brain structures, which we have developed, activated reparative regeneration of a number of damaged tissues including gastric and duodenal mucosa. In the present work, this action was shown to also activate efficiently the reparative regeneration of enterocyte derivatives hepatocytes and pancreatic -...
