TLDR
Fluorescent dyes were used to determine if neurons in the feline subnucleus interpolaris of the spinal trigeminal nucleus project to more than one target via axon collaterals, and data suggest that independent populations of neuron in the subn DNA project to these targets.

Burst firing induced in midbrain dopamine neurons by stimulation of the medial prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices.

TL;DR: This is the first afferent input known to elicit bursting in dopamine neurons, obtained from mesencephalic dopamine neurons in urethane-anesthetized rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Space, time and dopamine

TL;DR: It is proposed that the selectivity of dopamine effects is achieved by the timing of dopamine release in relation to the activity of glutamatergic synapses, rather than by spatial localization of the dopamine signal to specific synaptic contacts.

GABAergic control of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

TL;DR: In addition to the effects that nigral GABAergic output neurons have on their target nuclei outside of the basal ganglia, local interactions between GABAergic projection neurons and dopaminergic neurons are crucially important to the functioning of the nigral dopaminationergic neurons.

The influence of estrogen on nigrostriatal dopamine activity: behavioral and neurochemical evidence for both pre- and postsynaptic components.

TL;DR: It is suggested that estrogen has an immediate potentiating effect on striatal DA release, and this may be responsible for the increased behavioral response to AMPH 4 h after estrogen treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine enhances the neuronal activity of spatial short-term memory task in the primate prefrontal cortex.

TL;DR: The results suggest that dopamine promotes processing of spatial short-term memory by increasing memory-related activity in the primate prefrontal cortex, probably via D1-type dopamine receptor.

Two new fluorescent retrograde neuronal tracers which are transported over long distances

TL;DR: Two new fluorescent retrograde neuronal tracers are reported: Nuclear Yellow (Hoechst S 769121), which mainly labels the neuronal nucleus; and Fast Blue (diamidino compound 253/50, which mainlylabel the neuronal cytoplasm), which seem to be transported effectively over long distances in rat and cat.

Corneal and periocular representation within the trigeminal sensory complex in the cat studied with transganglionic transport of horseradish peroxidase

TL;DR: The central projections of afferent fibers from the cornea, and the infraorbital, infratrochlear, frontal, lacrimal and auriculotemporal nerves were investigated by means of the transganglionic transport of horseradish peroxidase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrograde neuronal labeling by means of Bisbenzimide and Nuclear Yellow (Hoechst S 769121). Measures to prevent diffusion of the tracers out of retrogradely labeled neurons.

TL;DR: This migration was found to take place both in vivo and in vitro during storage of the sections in water, and when using the tracers in 1% concentrations the in vivo migration may be controlled by restricting the survival time.

Trigeminal projections to the superior colliculus of the rat

TL;DR: The density of projection cells in the three components of the brainstem trigeminal complex can be correlated with the density of their projections to the superior colliculus and the majority of tectal projection cells are found in subnucleus interpolaris, and the fewest in the principal sensory nucleus.
