Recent electrophysiological studies demonstrate that the ventral medial prefrontal cortex has a powerful inhibitory influence on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurones in the dorsal raphe nucleus. Here we utilised a combination of anatomical and electrophysiological methods to characterise the cellular
1. Effects of concanavalin A (Con A) and other lectins on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake by rabbit blood platelets and on their ultrastructure were studied. 2. Uptake of [3H]-5-HT by platelets was decreased by application of Con A, E-PHA (lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris) and lentil-PHA (lectin
We combined Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin anterograde tracing and Herpes simplex virus transneuronal retrograde tracing to determine whether neurons in the vasodepressor region of the rabbit caudal ventrolateral medulla project to brainstem neurons containing the virus after its transneuronal
The anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin was injected into the medial nucleus of the solitary tract and into the rostral dorsomedial medulla. A sequential two-color immunoperoxidase staining was accomplished in order to demonstrate the co-distribution of presumed terminal axons with
A major input to the substantia nigra is from the 5-hydroxytryptamine-containing neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus. In order to examine the morphology and distribution of this projection, rats were given injections of the anterograde tracers, Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin or biocytin, in the
The stomach and small intestine receive an efferent innervation from the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMX). The current experiments were undertaken as a partial test of the hypothesis that the CNS innervates only a small number of command neurons in a restricted number of enteric ganglia. The
In this study we utilized electrophysiological and pathway tracing methods to investigate the projections from the medial prefrontal cortex to the midbrain raphe nuclei of the rat. Initial pathway tracing experiments using retrograde (horseradish peroxidase conjugates with wheatgerm agglutinin or
