This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a timely opus. Most of us now are too young to remember the unpleasant ring of a polemic between those who produced "hair-splitting" parcellations of the cortex (to paraphrase one of O. Vogt's favourite expressions) and those who saw the cortex as a homogeneous matrix sus taining the reverberations of EEG waves (to paraphrase Bailey and von Bonin). One camp accused the other of producing bogus preparations with a paint brush, and the other way around the accusation was that of poor eye-sight. Artefacts of various sorts were invoked to explain the opponent's error, ranging from perceptual effects (Mach bands crispening the areal borders) to poor fixation supposedly due to perfusion too soon (!) after death. I have heard most of this directly from the protagonists' mouths. The polemic was not resolved but it has mellowed with age and ultimately faded out. I was relieved to see that Professor Braak elegantly avoids dis cussion of an extrememist tenet, that of "hair-sharp" areal boundaries, which makes little sense in developmental biology and is irrelevant to neurophysiology. It was actually detrimental to cortical neuroanatomy, since its negation led to the idea that structurally distinct areas are not at all existent. Yet, nobody would deny the reality of five fingers on one hand even if the detailed assignment of every epidermal cell to one finger or another is obviously impossible.

Download or read book Principles of Neurotransmission written by L. Stockinger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last annual meeting of the Austrian Society for Electron Microscopy it was decided to organize scientific symposia dealing with basic problems of cytology. If possible such symposia should be arranged in cooperation with other scientific societies. We intended to arrange symposia on special fields, to be presented on several aspects by excellent scientists invited. "Neural Transmission" was chosen as a central topic for this first symposium. The subject represents a most rapidly expanding field of research and is of particular interest to morphologists, physiologists, pharmacologists, biochemists and clinicians. We are indebted to all the invited speakers for contributing their interesting papers. I feel bound to thank once more the firm of Bender, a subsidiary company of Boehringer Ingelheim and of Arzneimittelforschung Ges. m. b. H. Wien, for the generous financial support which made possible to realize the symposium. The publication of this volume, representing the papers and discussions originally read at the symposium and elaborated by the authors in detail and more extensively, was only made possible by the generous cooperation of the Springer-Verlag Vienna.

Download or read book Heavy Metals in the Brain written by Finn-Mogens Smejda Haug and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of transition metals and group II b metals in biological reac tions is becoming increasingly clear. Such metals form an integral part of the structure of many enzymes and non-enzymic proteins and also feature in more reversible interactions between metal ions and large or small biological molecules (Johnson and Seven, 1961). As discussed at the end of this paper, chemical analyses have shown the presence of these metals in the central nervous system and some hypotheses have been advanced concerning their role in more specific nervous activities such as synaptic processes. In order to define more precisely the role of these trace metals it is clearly necessary to investigate their regional and cytological distribution, as may be achieved by the use of histochemical methods. Some of the earliest neurohistochemical studies were concerned with trace metals, especially iron, in the brain (Spatz, 1922). Later reports on the localiza tion of trace metals have been comparatively few, except as regards the hippo campal region. Maske's report (1955) that intravital injections of the coloured chelating agent, dithizone, revealed an accumulation of zinc within the hippocampus, prompted aseries of investigations by Fleischhauer and Horstmann (1957), Timm (1958a), McLardy (1960, 1962, 1963, 1964), von Euler (1962), and others, in which the intravital dithizone method or Timm's sulphide silver method was used. As a result, particularly intense staining was found to correspond to the zones receiving mossy fibre terminals (Cajal, 1911; Blackstad et al., 1970).
