Distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine-immunoreactive boutons on alpha-motoneurons in the lumbar spinal cord of adult cats.
Francisco J. Alvarez,John C. Pearson,Deborah Harrington,Dianne E. Dewey,L. Torbeck,Robert E.W. Fyffe +5 more
TL;DR: This work examined identified motoneurons in vivo with a combination of immunohistochemical localization of 5‐HT‐immunoreactive boutons and intracellular staining with horseradish peroxidase to determine the spatial distribution of direct inputs from the serotonin system on the proximal and distal dendrites of individual mot oneurons.

Identification of γ-aminobutyric acid-like immunoreactive neurons in the rat cuneate nucleus
TL;DR: GABA-LI cell bodies had a significantly smaller mean cross-sectional area than the total cuneate neuronal population and comprised 21.5% of the total neuronal population as assessed with Nissl-staining, consistent with the hypothesis that GABA is involved in processing somatosensory information in the rat dorsal column nuclei.

Localization of serotonin- and substance P-like immunofluorescence in the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus of the rat.
John C. Pearson,Lothar Jennes +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that fibers containing coexistent 5-HT and SP may be involved in the processing of nociceptive somatic sensation in the medullary dorsal horn of rat.

Medical Student Use of Online Lectures: Exam Performance, Learning Styles, Achievement Motivation and Gender
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between entering medical students' online lecture use, exam performance, learning styles, achievement motive and gender, and found a significant effect of success motivation on the temporal pattern of use.

Subclassification of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus of the lesser bushbaby (Galago senegalensis): A quantitative Golgi study using principal components analysis
TL;DR: The morphology of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the lesser bushbaby (Galago senegalensis) is described in coronal brain sections processed by Golgi‐ and Nissl‐staining techniques, suggesting that three classes of neurons are present.
