Showing papers on "Rhinal sulcus published in 1978"


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The organization of the catecholamine innervation in the frontal lobe of the rat neocortex has been studied by means of the glyoxylic acid fluorescence method in combination with lesions and retrograde tracing of horseradish peroxidase to distinguished three dopaminergic terminal systems.

TL;DR: The results indicate than in the rat, as in the monkey and dog, one part of the prefrontal cortex is particularly involved in mediation of delayed alternation.
Abstract: Ablations of the pregenual area of the anteromedial prefrontal cortex produced a significantly larger impairment in delayed alternation than did removal of the supragenual area. Both ablations caused significant impairments as compared with lesions of the posteromedial cortex. Only one of four rats with ablations of the dorsal bank and lip of the anterior part of the rhinal sulcus was impaired. The results indicate than in the rat, as in the monkey and dog, one part of the prefrontal cortex is particularly involved in mediation of delayed alternation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The cortical projection of the thalamic mediodorsal nuclear complex (MD) in the rabbit was mapped retrograde horseradish peroxidase and anterograde tritiated proline techniques and the inverse dorsoventral relationship was partially preserved.

TL;DR: The cerebral vessels of the amygdala of the rat were filled with inks of different colours and the topography of the vessels were reconstructed from serial sections to study the circulation of the individual amygdaloid nuclei.
Abstract: The cerebral vessels of the rat were filled with inks of different colours. The topography of the vessels of the amygdala were reconstructed from serial sections. The circulation of the individual amygdaloid nuclei was studied in detail. The arteries of the amygdala arise from the deep and cortical branches of the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries. Eight major arteries were found to supply blood to the amygdala. All amygdaloid nuclei receive branches from both arterial trunks. The vast majority of the veins are collected by the middle cerebral and basal veins. Only a small fraction drains into the hippocampal vein. Of particular importance are the veins ending in the basal vein and those cortical ones that run in the rhinal sulcus. All amygdaloid nuclei have a multidirectional drainage.
