Activity of some enzymes in the cortex of the cat with pretrigeminal brainstem transection.

چکیده
The visual and somatic sensory cortex were investigated. The activity of acetylcholinesterase and lactate dehydrogenase was similar in the pretrigeminal and non-operated cats. The activity of these two enzymes, as well as that of choline acetyltransferase, butyrylcholinesterase and acid phosphatase was similar 3 and 8 h after the pretrigeminal transection. Results support the possibility of utilizing the pretrigeminal cat for investigations of biochemical correlates of learning.

Hippocampal theta activity in the acute cerveau isolé cat.
In three cerveau isole cats, cortical and hippocampal EEG activity were recorded. In the cortical records, spindles alternated with low-voltage activity, whereas theta activity dominated in the hippocampus. The amount and frequency of theta were similar to those described previously for the pretrigeminal cat. In confirmation of previous results on rats, although cortical EEG activity differs in...
متن کاملRegional cerebral blood flow and visual attention in the awake isolated cerebrium of the pretrigeminal cat.
The effect of visual stimulation on cerebral blood flow (CBF) was studied in five cats with brainstem transection at the pretrigeminal level. The CBF was measured in the occipital and frontal cortex by external monitoring of the clearance of 133Xe. As a visual stimulus, a feather duster moving for 2 min in front of the cats eyes was used. This stimulus evoked an increase of CBF. In the occipit...
متن کاملSingle-unit activity in cat's isolated midbrain.
The midbrain was isolated by two brainstem transections, pretrigeminal and premesencephalic. In the isolated midbrain, particularly within the reticular formation, EEG activity was greatly depressed. On the other hand, single-unit spike activity remained at a high level. The spatial density of active reticular units and the rate of their spontaneous activity were at least not smaller than those...
متن کاملThe acute pretrigeminal rat.
In five rats the brainstem was transected at the pretrigeminal level. In the frontal cortex, desynchronized EEG activity dominated, while in the dorsal hippocampus theta activity of low frequency (about 4 cycle/s) was almost continuously present. Olfactory and visual stimuli and electrical stimulation of the posterior hypothalamus induced or increased cortical EEG desynchronization and increase...
متن کاملOculomotor cortex localization in the unanesthetized cat.
In recent years two of us have investigated the neural structure of the visual fixation reflex in the cat (Dreher et al. 1965, Dreher and i e r nicki 1969ab). In these studies we were interested in the effects of ablfation of cortical oculomotor areas. However, available data in the localination of these areas are not adequate. In anesthetized cats relatively small cortical ocu~lomotor areas we...
