Anterograde studies in monkeys have shown that after tracer injections in cerebellar nuclei, terminal labels are found primarily in VLp, in discrete zones of VLa and in the intralaminar CM/Pf and CL nuclei (Asanuma et al. 1983a, b; Jones 1990; Percheron et al. 1993; Rouiller et al. 1994; Sakai et al. 1996; Calzavara et al. 2005).
Immediate postmortem liver, kidney, and heart biopsies were evaluated for histomorphologic changes (H&E staining) and the number of apoptotic nuclei (terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated nick-end labeling-assay (TUNEL) staining) [ 28].
Further confirmation that wasp exposure triggered a true apoptotic event is evidenced by the presence of characteristic DAPI-intense pychnotic nurse cell nuclei, by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) stain that detects fragmented DNA, and activated caspase-3 staining: All positive markers of the cell death process (McCall, 2004).
Cocaine blocks the dopamine transporter, thereby increasing the magnitude and duration of spontaneously occurring dopamine transients in the nucleus accumbens terminal field [54].
In most mammalian species, the AOS consists of two sets of optic fibers, the inferior fasciculus of the accessory optic tract AOT-IFF) and superior fasciculus of the AOT (AOT-SF); and three terminal nuclei, medial terminal nucleus (MTN), lateral terminal nucleus (LTN), and dorsal terminal nucleus (DTN) [26].
In other AOS nuclei, the dorsal terminal nucleus (DTN) and the lateral terminal nucleus (LTN), only a small proportion of the innervating axons were GFP-positive (data not shown).
It represents decapeptide, secreted by axons of neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, with terminals close to the hypophyseal portal system.
In mammals direction-selective neurons in the pretectal NOT and the accessory optic system (AOS), composed of the dorsal terminal nucleus (DTN), the lateral terminal nucleus (LTN) and the medial terminal nucleus (MTN) in mammals, are required for this behaviour [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21].
The medial border of the SN and lateral border of the VTA was defined by a vertical line passing through the medial tip of the cerebral peduncle (and by the medial terminal nucleus of the accessory nucleus of the optic tract, when present in the sections).
The medial border of substantia nigra pars compacta was delineated with a vertical line passing through the medial tip of the cerebral peduncle and the medial terminal nucleus of the accessory nucleus of the optic tract.
Particularly, the ON DS ganglion cells project their axons specifically to terminal nuclei of the accessory optic system (AOS) responsible for optokinetic reflex (OKR).
