Signal transmission through the dark-adapted retina of the toad (Bufo marinus). Gain, convergence, and signal/noise. [PDF]
Responses to light were recorded from rods, horizontal cells, and ganglion cells in dark-adapted toad eyecups. Sensitivity was defined as response amplitude per isomerization per rod for dim flashes covering the excitatory receptive field centers.

Lack of the Sodium-Driven Chloride Bicarbonate Exchanger NCBE Impairs Visual Function in the Mouse Retina [PDF]
Regulation of ion and pH homeostasis is essential for normal neuronal function. The sodium-driven chloride bicarbonate exchanger NCBE (Slc4a10), a member of the SLC4 family of bicarbonate transporters, uses the transmembrane gradient of sodium to drive ...

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases mediate the enhancing effects of inflammatory mediators on resurgent currents in dorsal root ganglion neurons [PDF]
Previously we reported that a group of inflammatory mediators significantly enhanced resurgent currents in dorsal root ganglion neurons. To understand the underlying intracellular signaling mechanism, we investigated the effects of inhibition of ...

The Flexor Indicis Profundus - Its Morphology and Clinical Significance [PDF]
The knowledge on the anatomical variations of the deep flexor muscles is important due to its evolutionary significance. The flexor digitorum profundus is the deep flexor muscle of the forearm. It is a composite muscle with a dual nerve supply.

Variable Gene Expression in Human Ganglia Latently Infected with Varicella-Zoster Virus
Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) is a pathogenic human herpes virus that causes varicella (“chicken pox”) as a primary infection, following which it becomes latent in neuronal cells in human peripheral ganglia. It may then reactivate to cause herpes zoster (“

A rare variation of extensor indices muscle – A case report
The Extensor Indicis muscle is one among the deep muscles of the extensor compartment of the forearm which takes origin from the Posterior surface of the shaft of the ulna below the origin of the extensor pollicislongus, and from the Inter-osseous ...

Sympathy for the ganglion [PDF]
Sympathetic ganglia, along with the skeletal neuromuscular junction, have been fundamental in forming our understanding of synapses and neurotransmitter release. From the earliest descriptions of their neuroanatomy and the pioneering work of Eccles (Eccles, 1943) these peripheral ‘little brains’ have given us powerful, insights into how the nervous ...

N-cadherin acts in concert with Slit1-Robo2 signaling in regulating aggregation of placode-derived cranial sensory neurons [PDF]
Vertebrate cranial sensory ganglia have a dual origin from the neural crest and ectodermal placodes. In the largest of these, the trigeminal ganglion, Slit1-Robo2 signaling is essential for proper ganglion assembly.
