Basal socket muscle fibres of Barentsia gracilis are morphologically similar to invertebrate muscles classified as slow, tonic-type muscles. They are divisible into a non-contractile bulbous and a contractile myofilamentous portion, are innervated on their non-contractile surface, and are obliquely striated. The electron density and myofilament packing vary from fibre to fibre. Some muscle fibr...

Single unit responses were recorded from the auditory thalamus of anesthetized squirrel monkeys. The microelectrede penetrations had an orientation perpendicular to the sagittal plane. The small cell division is tonotopically organized. The cells in the most lateral aspect of this division have their 'best frequencies' (BFs) in the low frequency range with a progressive shift in the BF toward t...
