The vestibular nuclei in the domestic hen (Gallus domesticus) III. Ascending projections to the mesencephalic eye motor nuclei

The Journal of Comparative Neurology
J E Wold

Abstract

Following injections of horseradish peroxidase in the oculomotor and the trochlear nuclei in the hen, the occurrence of labeled cells was plotted in the vestibular nuclei. The majority of labeled cells was localized in the superior, the medial, and the tangential nucleus. Within the superior nucleus the cells were found mainly caudally, extending medially and ventrally in central areas. In the medial nucleus labeled cells were localized exclusively in its rostral half, mainly in ventrolateral regions. Most, if not all, cells in the nucleus tangentialis project rostrally. In addition, rostrally projecting vestibular cells were found in the cell group A and the rostrolateral part of the descending nucleus. The projection to the oculomotor nuclear complex is from the superior nucleus and the cell group A bilateral but chiefly ipsilateral, from the medial nucleus bilateral, from the tangential nucleus and the rostral pole of the descending nucleus chiefly contralateral. Massive labeling was found in the abducens nucleus, somewhat less in the reticular formation, mainly in the lateral regions of the medial part at the level of the abducens and facial nuclei. Labeled cells were, in addition, found in the deep layers of the optic tect...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
