In this study, we have investigated the effect of fibroblast growth factors (bFGF and FGF‐5)
and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the expression of calcitonin gene‐related …

Horseradish peroxidase was injected into single facial motoneurons of the rat. Neurons
were identified by antidromic stimulation of either the buccal or the marginal mandibular or …

The peptides galanin (GAL), substance P (SP), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)
were analyzed with immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay in the spinal cord, dorsal …

In situ hybridization histochemistry technology was developed for future application to neuro-
otologic research. This method allowed the detection of cellular mRNA in tissue sections …

In order to determine whether neurones in the parvicellular reticular formation are in direct
synaptic contact with motoneurones innervating facial muscles, a combined retrograde and …

1. Rat facial motoneurones axotomized on the day after birth were examined
morphologically, and their electrical properties were characterized using the whole‐cell …

Experimental models such as the facial nerve axotomy paradigm in rodents allow the
systematic and detailed study of the response of neurones and their microenvironment to …

In general, it has been difficult to preserve electrophysiologically viable motoneurons in
brain slices from adult mammals. The present study describes a new method for obtaining …

In situ hybridization histochemistry was used to localize calcitonin gene-related peptide
mRNAs in spinal cord, brain stem and dorsal root ganglion neurons of the rat and guinea …

Following injury to the facial nerve, facial motoneurons respond with a rapid suppression of
neurofilament synthesis, and an increase in actin and tubulin synthesis. In situ hybridization …
