Distribution and cellular localization of mRNA coding for 5-HT1A receptor in the rat brain: correlation with receptor binding
TL;DR: The distribution and abundance of 5-HT1A receptor mRNA in different rat brain areas generally correlate with those of the binding sites, suggesting that 5- HT1A receptors are predominantly somatodendritic receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercellular communication in the brain: wiring versus volume transmission.
TL;DR: The basic definitions and some distinctive characteristics of the two types of transmission are discussed and the evidence for different types of intercellular communication besides synaptic transmission in the central nervous system during phylogeny, and in vertebrates in physiological and pathological conditions is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of serotonin in reflex modulation and locomotor rhythm production in the mammalian spinal cord.
Brian J. Schmidt,Larry M. Jordan +1 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that serotonin may influence pattern generation at the cellular level through modulation of plateau properties, an interplay with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor actions, and afterhyperpolarization regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin modulates the central pattern generator for locomotion in the isolated lamprey spinal cord
TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental studies suggest that the prolongation of the intersegmental phase lag results at least in part from differential effects of serotonin on segmental oscillators in different parts of the spinal cord.

Ultrastructural evidence for diffuse transmission by monoamine and acetylcholine neurons of the central nervous system
TL;DR: The ambient level hypothesis has provided a framework for explaining some of the sustained and regulatory, as well as trophic-like effects of transmitters on a prolonged time scale.

The unlabeled antibody enzyme method of immunohistochemistry preparation and properties of soluble antigen-antibody complex (horseradish peroxidase-antihorseradish peroxidase) and its use in identification of spirochetes:
TL;DR: PAP was heterogeneous on electrophoresis, homogeneous on sedimentation, diffusion and electron microscopy and consisted of pentagons with diameters of 205 Å, with the unexpected ratio of PO to anti-PO presumed to be due to stabilization by the pentagonal shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of serotonin-immunoreactivity in the central nervous system of the rat-cell bodies and terminals.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate a widespread occurrence of 5-HT-positive nerve terminals throughout the central nervous system and the finding that serotonin-containing neurons are present in many nuclei that also include catecholamine- containing neurons makes it necessary to reconsider the terminology of the monoaminergic cell groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical analysis of peptide pathways possibly related to pain and analgesia: enkephalin and substance P
TL;DR: The present immunohistochemical-anatomical findings support the hypothesis that stimulation-produced analgesia is related to activation of spinal and spinal trigeminal enkephalin interneurons forming axo-axonic synapses with (substance P?) pain afferents in the superficial laminae of the dorsal horn and the spinal trigEMinal nucleus.
