Hess and Rockland [Hess and Rockland (1983) Brain Res. 289, 322-325] proposed that the distribution of acetylcholinesterase within the lateral geniculate nucleus might correlate with the daily activity patterns shown by primates. In diurnal primates, the magnocellular laminae show a greater acetylcholinesterase reaction product. In nocturnal primates, the parvocellular laminae are more heavily ...

Following unilateral HRP injections in the optic tectum of Rana pipiens, HRP-positive cells were seen in three pretectal nuclei: bilaterally in the dorsal posterior nucleus; in the dorsal half of the ipsilateral posterior nucleus; and ipsilaterally in the large-called pretectal nucleus. HRP-positive cells were also seen ipsilaterally in the anterodorsal, posterodorsal and posteroventral tegment...

Abstract.Basing on the thickness (profile) function, previously obtained for the realistic Fermi type distribution of nucleons in nuclei, calculations are made of the microscopic eikonal phases of the nucleus-nucleus scattering and the total reaction crosssections. In so doing, the phase is deduced to the one-dimensional integral provided that the Gaussian density distribution for the projectil...

A 31-year-old patient had acute dizziness and lateropulsion to the right. Neuro-ophthalmologic examination revealed (1) a saccade gaze palsy left (video 1, part A), (2) “half-pathologic” head-impulse test right B), but (3) bilaterally normal adduction during convergence reaction C), findings typical for abducens nuclear palsy. It was caused by histologically proven cavernoma in tegmentum pontis...
