    Notes: Abstract In contrast to insect species, light-activated influx of divalent ions into Limulus ventral photoreceptors has proven difficult to demonstrate. We used the quench of the fluorescent indicator dye, fura-2, to measure Mn2+ influx. Limulus ventral photoreceptors were injected with fura-2 and excited at 360 nm. When the photoreceptors were bathed in 1 mmol · l−1 Mn2+, an approximately 1% per 10 s decline in the fura-2 fluorescence during intervals between 50-ms flashes was taken as a measure of Mn2+ entry in darkness. Fluorescence decline during 10-s flashes was used to monitor Mn2+ entry during the photoresponse. During the 10-s flashes we observed a small rapid decline of the fura-2 fluorescence even in the absence of Mn2+. This reflected a contamination of the fluorescence signal arising from light-induced release of intracellular calcium stores. A subsequent slower decline in fluorescence during the 10-s flash, amounting to approximately 9% per 10 s, was only observed in the presence of extracellular Mn2+ and was attributed to Mn2+ influx. This light-activated influx was not through voltage-gated calcium channels since it persisted under voltage clamp, was not stimulated by depolarizing current injections, nor blocked by NiCl2. Depletion of internal calcium stores by cyclopiazonic acid treatment did not accelerate Mn2+ influx.

    Voltage noise accompanying chemically-induced depolarization of insect photoreceptors (1980)

    Notes: Abstract Intracellular potentials are recorded from photoreceptors in a superfused preparation of the retina of a locust compound eye. Chloral hydrate and alkyl alcohols induce a rapid, superfusing reversible depolarization of these photoreceptors when dissolved in the saline. Analysis of voltage noise accompanying depolarization by chloral hydrate suggests that depolarizing ionic pathways are opened briefly and randomly in time in the photoreceptor membranes. This conclusion is supported by measurements of the cell resistance and of voltage noise amplitude as a function of membrane potential. Replacement of superfusate sodium by choline reversibly reduces the effects of chloral hydrate, suggesting that the ionic pathways opened are permeable by sodium. The voltage noise induced by chloral hydrate is compared to that during depolarization by steady illumination of the same cell. As the illumination intensity is increased, the amplitude and the shape of the power spectrum of light-induced voltage noise approach those of drug-induced noise at the same depolarization level. The possibility that these phenomena represent alterations in the mechanism of phototransduction is discussed.

    The effects of drugs on objective measures of thought disorder in schizophrenic patients (1972)

    Notes: Abstract Results of studies using tests of thought disorder suggest the possibility of distinguishing three separate and possibly independent syndromes among schizophrenic patients. “Process schizophrenics” seem to be characterized by a relatively low I.Q., general psychomotor retardation, a slow reaction time, perceptual underconstancy, concreteness and distractibility. Many of these specific defects can be produced in normal people by the drug “Sernyl”, but not by other drugs studied. No known drug (such as the phenothiazines) has been shown to improve all these dysfunctions significantly in schizophrenic patients. “Psychotic anxiety reaction” is a label which might be used to describe the thinking disturbances found in many reactive schizophrenics. It consists of a tendency to produce unusual responses in a wide range of experimental situations, accompanied by an unusual degree of “perceptual constancy”. These behavioral abnormalities might be due to the disruptive effects of a very high level of anxiety, and might be alleviated by depressant drugs. “Overinclusive Psychosis”, characterizes a minority of hyperactive schizophrenics and some manic patients, who seem to use unusually broad and vaguely defined concepts in their thinking. LSD may induce this type of thinking in normal subjects, and it is possible that it may respond to phenothiazine medication.

    Notes: The approach of Karfunkel and Gdanitz has been used to predict possible crystal structures of acetic acid and three of its monohalogenated analogs starting with the molecular structure alone. The results demonstrate that this approach is capable of finding many, if not all, of the possible packing arrangements of molecules of this size, but that it is not currently capable of correctly ranking these structures in terms of their enthalpy. This deficiency is probably due to inadequacies in the force field used to minimize the structures. The inadequacies relate to the description of acidic hydrogen bonds and halogen-halogen interactions.   © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.   J Comput Chem 19: 1-20, 1998
