TL;DR: The fiber degenerations resulting from variously located lesions of the lentiform nucleus were studied in the rhesus monkey by the aid of the Nauta-Gygax and Albrecht-Fernstrom techniques and evidence was obtained of pallidotegmental fibers extending caudally beyond the mesencephalon.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the n.

TL;DR: The authors are convinced that the majority of individuals suffering from the pickwickian syndrome drowse during the day and sleep badly at night because of a primary disturbance in the wakefulness-sleep regulation which as such is based on their obesity.

TL;DR: The dorsomedial group related to auricular muscles is the most prominent in cats, possibly related to the relative importance of the auricular musculature in that animal.

TL;DR: Puromycin and acetoxycycloheximide, antibiotics known to block selectively protein synthesis, also block the formation of memory of shock avoidance in the goldfish.

TL;DR: The present results suggest the presence of a bilateral projection from the mesencephalic reticular formation to the facial nucleus, which could provide an explanation for the paresis limited to the lower facial muscles which is observed in cases of capsular hemiplegia.

TL;DR: Gold electrodes implanted for treatment of psychiatric disorders and intractable epilepsy were used to measure the local oxygen availability (O2a) in the intact brain, suggesting the Bohr shift of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve by metabolic and arterial CO2 determines the cerebral tissue oxygenation during short-lived changes of metabolic rate and respiratory variations.

TL;DR: Intracellular data indicate that disinhibition resulting from BSRF-induced inhibition of synchronizing-IPSPs is a prominent factor in reticular suppression of evoked recruiting responses.

TL;DR: From a comparison with the somatotopical map of the cerebral cortex it is suggested that the cortico-rubral fibers from the sensory and motor limb areas are somatOTopically arranged.

TL;DR: The study was motivated by physiological evidence suggesting that VA may play a prominent role in recruitment mechanisms and the projection of the thalamic non-specific system upon the cortex.

TL;DR: Physiological data suggest that lateral corticospinal fibers reach motoneurons exclusively via intercalated neurons in the cat, and complex intertwining of preterminal and terminal axonal segments in these areas suggest their potential as substrate for presynaptic inhibitory phenomena exerted by corticofugal elements on spinal mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of behavioral development from several points of view and the events incorporated into a broad concept of neuro-behavioral ontogeny is discussed. But the most dramatic and clearly defined period being the period of integration, which underlies the critical period of socialization.

TL;DR: It was concluded that although both anterior and posterior neocortex are normally involved in, and certainly enhance, visual placing behavior in rats, neither seems necessary for such behavior to occur.

TL;DR: An infant with almost complete absence of cerebral hemispheres except for incomplete microgyric occipital lobes was examined neurologically and investigated using computer averaging of EEG responses to visual and auditory stimuli.

TL;DR: The present study conclusively demonstrates the influence of a non-primary cortical area upon ascending neurosensory activity on recovery functions derived from neuroelectric activity evoked by paired acoustic clicks in awake cats.
