    Notes: Summary Newly-hatched domestic chicks were reared separately with one of two types of imprinting object hanging in their cages. On the 5th day discrimination tests demonstrated strong preferences for the familiar object. On the 6th day the chicks were subjected to bilateral aspiration lesions of either the anterior or the lateral forebrain and their imprinting objects removed from the cages. Discrimination tests were made on the 9th and 12th days, the imprinting objects replaced, and a final relearning test given on the 14th day. The anterior lesion group was slightly impaired in the retention and relearning tests while the lateral lesion group was drastically affected, being significantly worse than the anterior group and with choices only just significantly above random expectation in the retention tests and no different from random choice in the relearning test. It was concluded that a lateral forebrain region is necessary for retention and relearning of a previously acquired imprinted preference.

    Notes: Summary Newly hatched domestic chicks were subjected to bilateral aspiration lesions of the anterior, dorsal, posterior or lateral regions of the forebrain and then were reared separately with one of two types of imprinting object. Between 3 and 10 days later they were tested for imprinting, pecking accuracy, visual looming and auditory startle responses. Lateral and dorsal lesion groups differed from a control group in the number of successful discriminations of their imprinting object and the lateral group was not significantly different from a random expectancy. All groups were impaired in pecking accuracy but the lateral group was the most severely affected. Looming responses and post startle freezing behaviour were reduced only in the posterior and dorsal groups which were also the least responsive in the imprinting tests. It was concluded that the lateral forebrain area is critically and specifically involved in the visual learning of imprinting being necessary for the discrimination of, but not for approach responsiveness to, imprinting objects.

    Notes: Abstract The study was undertaken to determine the relative roles of neuronal and extraneuronal uptake1 in the metabolism of 3H-noradrenaline in human dental pulp. Rabbit dental pulp was used as a reference since it was already known that normetanephrine (NMN) formation in this tissue utilised extraneuronal uptake,. Slices of pulp were preincubated in the absence and presence of 6-hydroxydopamine (1.6 mmol/l, for 10 or 20 min at pH 4.5) and subsequently incubated with 3H-noradrenaline (0.18 μmol/l for 30 min at pH 7.4). The principal metabolites formed were normetanephrine in rabbit pulp and deaminated catechols (dihydroxymandelic acid and dihydroxyphenylglycol) in human pulp. In both tissues 6-hydroxydopamine strongly inhibited formation of the deaminated catechols, but was without effect on normetanephrine formation. It is concluded that: i) in vitro 6-hydroxydopamine does not influence the metabolic process which is dependent on extraneuronal uptake1, namely normetanephrine formation in rabbit dental pulp, and in human pulp. Attention is drawn to an unusual feature of the neuronal metabolism in human pulp, namely the appearance of dihydroxymandelic acid as the principal metabolite.

    Notes: Summary Incisor pulp from the rabbit metabolises exogenous noradrenaline in concentrations between 0.12 and 1.2 μmol/l mainly to NMN. Effects of chronic sympathetic denervation indicated that in incisor pulp the NMN is extraneuronal in origin, and that DOPEG and DOMA formation, as well as a major part of the noradrenaline which accumulates in the tissue, are associated with the sympathetic nerves. NMN formation was unaffected by hydrocortisone 210 μmol/l, but was strongly inhibited by cocaine 30 μmol/l. These effects contrasted with those in the rabbit ear artery, where NMN formation was increased by cocaine 30 μmol/l and decreased by hydrocortisone 210 μmol/l. In COMT-inhibited denervated pulp, cocaine inhibited the accumulation of noradrenaline. Monoamine fluorescence histochemistry of pulp exposed to noradrenaline 50 μmol/l indicated that cocaine-sensitive uptake occurred in fibroblasts. It is concluded that O-methylation of noradrenaline in dental pulp involves prior uptake of the amine by a process resembling uptake, but which is distinguished from uptake1 by its extraneuronal location.

    Notes: Abstract A theory for the lateral spreading of a beam of nonlinear surface acoustic waves across the surface of an arbitrary, homogeneous, elastic half-space is developed. The resulting evolution equation generalizes that obtained for uni-directional waves by replacing an ordinary derivative by a diffusion operator of Schrödinger type. The coefficients arising in the evolution equation are related to partial derivatives of the dispersion relation for linearized surface waves on the half space. Details are given for isotropic materials and for two special cases of beams travelling along axes of high elastic symmetry.
