The crystal-like anatomical uniformity of the striate cortex

The visual field is topographically mapped onto the primary visual cortex (V1), forming a retinotopic map which is far more detailed for the foveal regions than for the periphery. We found that receptive field (RF) size in monkey V1 increases with eccentricity, and that a 1—2 m² V1 region contains roughly a complete set of machinery necessary to analyze a visual-field area whose size is about that of the RFs of the cells. This allows V1 to be anatomically uniform, and is in sharp contrast with the retina.     

Catecholamine metabolism in the vas deferens and the adrenal gland with special reference to the central catecholamine-depleted state

Experiments were carried out to elucidate the role of central catecholamines in regulating catecholamine metabolism in the vas deferens and adrenal gland of the rat. Rats were injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) with either vehicle or 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Groups of animals pretreated with vehicle or 6-OHDA (i.c.v.) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine (AMT), a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor. Catecholamine turnover rates were estimated by determining norepinephrine or epinephrine content after administrating AMT.Central norepinephrine and dopamine contents decreased significantly (p<0.05) after treatment with 6-OHDA and AMT. The norepinephrine content of the vas deferens of rats pretreated with 6-OHDA was markedly reduced (p<0.001) after administration of AMT, whereas that of the vehicle-treated rats remained unchanged. Administration of 6-OHDA had no effect on the norepinephrine or epinephrine content of the adrenal gland.The present results indicate that central monoaminergic neurons have an inhibitory effect on the adrenergic neurons of the vas deferens. In contrast, this inhibitory regulation does not appear to be exerted on the adrenal glands.

一种基于皮层变换的图像融合方法

提出一种基于皮层变换的图像融合方法. 该方法模拟生物视觉皮层中简单细胞的响应特性,将单幅图像映射成一系列分辨力及方向各异的子图像,子图像中每个像素代表了视觉皮层中某个神经元的响应. 通过简单的展开运算和加法操作就可实现逆变换. 仿真实验表明,较之于基于最大绝对系数和最大方向对比度的小波变换融合方法而言,该方法在交叉熵和对比度意义上性能更佳. 对于某些源图像而言,其主观效果亦更好.

甘氨酸对大鼠前额叶皮质锥体神经元串连动作电位影响的研究

目的:研究甘氨酸对大鼠前额叶皮质锥体神经元串连动作电位的影响。方法:大鼠前额叶皮质切片,全细胞膜片钳记录锥体神经元串连动作电位。结果:甘氨酸(300μmol/L)可显著降低大鼠前额叶皮质锥体神经元串连动作电位的发放频率,其作用可被番木鳖碱(1μmol/L)所阻断,表明其作用部位为番木鳖碱依赖性甘氨酸受体。甘氨酸还引起膜超极化,延长动作电位的潜伏期,加快复极化进程。结论:前额叶皮质的甘氨酸受体可能在VTA-NAcc-PFC神经环路的调控中发挥重要作用。
