    Notes: Abstract Rats with bilaterally implanted lateral hypothalamic electrodes were tested daily for self-stimulation to each side of the brain, and rotation (circling behavior) was recorded concomitantly. All rats rotated in a preferred direction regardless of the side of the brain stimulated and all rats had asymmetries in self-stimulation sensitivity related to the direction of rotation. Morphine increased rotation and lowered self-stimulation thresholds at low doses (e.g., 2.5 mg/kg) and decreased rotation and raised self-stimulation thresholds at high doses (e.g., 20.0 mg/kg). The changes in self-stimulation thresholds preferentially occurred on opposite sides of the brain, i.e., the low-dose decrease in thresholds was greater in the normally less sensitive side of the brain whereas the high-dose increase in thresholds was greater in the normally more sensitive side of the brain. Naloxone produced no changes in rates of rotation but did elicit small changes in self-stimulation that varied with the side of the brain, i.e., dose-related decreases in thresholds occurred in the normally more sensitive side of the brain whereas dose-related increases in thresholds occurred in the normally less sensitive side of the brain. Subsequently rats were tested in a choice procedure providing concurrent access to rewarding stimulation of either side of the brain; currents were titrated such that, under baseline conditions, rats continually alternated between self-stimulating one side of the brain or the other. Morphine induced a preference for the less sensitive side of the brain that was comparable in magnitude at all doses and independent of its biphasic effects on rates of responding. Naloxone induced a dose-related preference for the more sensitive side of the brain while not altering rates of responding. Naloxone (1.0 mg/kg) also completely antagonized the effects of all doses of morphine. The results are discussed in terms of lateralized actions mediating the discriminable effects of reinforcing drugs.

    Lanthanum and freeze fracture studies on the retinular cell junction in the compound eye of the housefly (1981)

    Notes: Summary The retinular (R) cell junction between adjacent photoreceptor cells in the house-fly ommatidium was characterized by freeze fracture, thin section and tracer (lanthanum) studies. Focal tight junctions occur between cells, and some P face ridge-E face groove correspondences are present in this intramembranal area. When colloidal lanthanum was introduced into the extracellular space (ECS) of the peripheral retina of the housefly, this electrondense tracer moved from the ECS (extra-ommatidial space), through the R-cell junctions and belt desmosomes, into the ommatidial cavity (OC = intrarhabdomal space) of each ommatidium. In the OC, lanthanum outlined a meshwork structure that pervaded this space. The evidence of this tracer movement suggests that there may be ionic continuity between the “traditional” ECS and the fluid bathing the individual rhabdomeres. The volume of the OC is calculated and we suggest that this space is part of the ECS. The functional implications of this postulate are considered in the light of: (1) the different functions of the peripheral and central cells; (2) the dissimilarity of rhabdomal membrane surface facing the OC compared to the “unmodified” plasma membrane of the photoreceptor cell facing the extra-ommatidial cavity; (3) the permeability properties of the R cell junction; and (4) the total ECS containing an ion store capable of sustaining current for the generator potential.

    Mechanism of the hydroxyiodination of 2-butenoic acid (1982)

    Notes: Aqueous iodination of trans-2-butenoic acid proceeds via hydrolysis of I2 to form HOI and I-, then rapid addition of HOI across the double bond to form the iodohydrin product. In the presence of iodate to keep iodide concentration low, the reaction proceeds at a conveniently measurable rate. The rate for the addition reaction \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm HOI + CH}_{\rm 3} {\rm CH=\!=CHCOOH} \to {\rm CH}_{\rm 3} {\rm CH(OH)CHICOOH}$$ \end{document} is -d[C4H6O2]/dt = 5900 [H+][C4H6O2][HOI]M/s at 25.0°C when [IO3-] = 0.025M and ionic strength = 0.3. The overall rate law in the presence of iodate is \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ -d[{\rm I}_{\rm 2}]/dt = 3.2 \times 10^{ - 3} \times 10^{ - 3} [{\rm H}^{\rm + }][{\rm IO}_{\rm 3}^ -]^{0.65} [{\rm C}_{\rm 4} {\rm H}_{\rm 6} {\rm O}_{\rm 2}]^{1/2} [{\rm I}_{\rm 2}]^{1/2} M/{\rm s}$$ \end{document} where [H+] and [IO3-] are total concentrations used to prepare the solution.
