(13) The distribution of mossy fiber terminals originating from the lower thoracic-higher lumbar spinal cord was compared to the distribution of zebrin I bands.
(14) Taurine localization to cerebellar mossy fibers and to fibers in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus may be more consistent with a proposed neuromodulator role of taurine.
(15) The orthograde and retrograde HRP studies suggested that the mossy fibre response is mediated by the pontine grey whereas the climbing fibre response is conveyed indirectly to the inferior olive which sends the climbing fibres to the cerebellar cortex.
(16) The effect of dietary zinc deficiency on the mossy fiber zinc content of the rat hippocampus was investigated using PIXE (Particle Induced X-Ray Emission) spectroscopy.
(17) These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the floccular H-zone Purkinje cells adaptively control the optokinetic eye movement through modification of the visual mossy fiber responsiveness under the influence of the retinal error signals conveyed by the visual climbing pathway.
(18) The responses of Purkinje cells and presumed mossy fibers to natural stimulation of the horizontal semicircular canals were recorded in the nodulus and uvula of rabbit vestibulocerebellum.
(19) Feeding a zinc-deficient diet for 28 days did not cause a decrease in the mossy fiber zinc level, however, feeding the zinc-deficient diet for 90 days reduced the maximum mossy fiber zinc level by about 30%.
(20) The electron-microscopic examination of hippocampal tissues from rats that had been perfused with fixative during the seizure revealed that the large dense-core vesicles increased in number and accumulated on the presynaptic membranes of mossy fiber boutons; some of these vesicles appeared to be fused with the membranes, and omega-shaped exocytotic profiles were frequently seen.
