    Notes: Oviductal epithelium of the baboon, Papio cynocephalus, was studied utilizing light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. Results of counts made of nonciliated, ciliated, and ciliogenic cells were analyzed statistically. The percentages of nonciliated cells of the fimbria and ampulla during the early proliferative and late secretory stages of the menstrual cycle were significantly greater than those during the mid-proliferative and late proliferative-early secretory stages, due to deciliation. This paper emphasizes previously unreported apical surface morphology as viewed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The microvillar pattern of the fimbrial secretory cells differs from that of the ampullar and isthmic cells in that the microvilli originate from thick apical protrusions and vary greatly in length and number as related to the cycle. A ridge demarcating the apical intercellular junction is composed of rows of microvilli during the early proliferative and late secretory stages. During the early proliferative and late secretory stages an increased degree of invagination of the basal and lateral plasma membranes occurs as the height and width of the cells decreases. The general numbers and distribution of the organelles of the various types of oviductal cells agree with that described for the ampulla and isthmus by Verhage et al. [(1990) Am. J. Anat., 187:81-90]; however, fimbrial epithelium was not included in that study. Other cyclic ultrastructural changes not examined previously include variation in the number of lipid droplets and their location, and in the number and relationships of glycogen particles to other structures. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Computer-aided reconstructive morphology of the baboon abducens nucleus (1985)

    Notes: Our previous effort at reconstructive morphology included the marriage of the horseradish perioxidase (HRP) neurohistochemical method to a Lucite plate reconstruction technique. Limitations imposed by this combination of methods has led us to develop a computer-based system that utilizes image-processing techniques and the data obtained from HRP processed serial light microscope sections. Labeled neurons of the baboon abducens nucleus were identified by HRP conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin. Using the resulting serial sections and a unique imaging process involving a pattern recognition algorithm, our computer-based system automatically differentiates neuronal from nonneuronal features, delineates the surface boundaries of the neuronal population, and then assembles these serial sections into a solid three-dimensional structure that can be rotated and further analyzed. A computer-generated solid model of this neuronal population has been reconstructed and reproduced in a two-dimensional publishable format. It is anticipated that with further development this system will be able to utilize data from the same specimen to study spatial relations through three-dimensional reconstruction, as well as to study the quantitative morphology of a neuronal population. Other computer-aided systems are noted, as are the advantages and shortcomings of the present method.

    The accessory nerve nucleus in the baboon (1986)

    Notes: In the savanna baboon, Papio cynocephalus, the accessory nerve nucleus was identified by using a mixture of 20% free horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and 2.5% HRP conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) in a 5% aqueous detergent solution (Nonidet P-40). Following surgical exposure of the appropriate nerve branch to the sternocleidomastoid or trapezius muscle, the nerve was transected, placed in an Argyle tubing collar, and bathed in 5-10 μl of the tracer. After a 48-hour survival time and vascular perfusion-fixation, 40-μm sections of the lower medulla oblongata and the cervical spinal cord were treated according to the tetramethyl benzidine (TMB)-HRP method of Mesulam (J. Histochem. Cytochem. 26:106-117, 1978). The accessory nucleus extends as a distinct column of neurons from lower medullary levels into the rostral part of C5. One to ten labeled cells were present in each section, and all labeled neurons were located on the side of the bathed nerve. The rostral portion of the accessory nucleus occupies a central position, its intermediate portion occupies a lateral position, and its caudal portion occupies a central position within the ventral horn. All labeled neurons were confined to Rexed's lamina IX, ranged from 15 to 75 μm in diameter, and were either distinctly round (oval) or stellate in shape. Neurons within the baboon accessory nucleus supplying the sternocleidomastoid muscle were located from lower medullary to upper C2 spinal cord levels, while those supplying the trapezius muscle extended from C2 to C5.

    The intermediate root of the trigeminal nerve in the dog (Canis familiaris) (1971)

    Notes: The intermediate root of the trigeminal nerve in the dog has been investigated both macroscopically and microscopically. Sixty-two trigeminal complexes (trigeminal ganglion, trigeminal roots and the portion of the pons to which the roots were attached) in the dog were dissected out and removed. Each of the complexes was fixed in 10% formalin, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. The paraffin blocks were cut serially at 10 μ. Every other slide was either stained with Luxol Fast Blue or impregnated with Bodian's silver method. In all cases, between the motor and sensory roots an intermediate root composed of one distinct rootlet was identified. Most frequently the intermediate root was attached to the pons from 0.5 to 3.0 mm lateral to the motor root and rostral to the sensory root from 0.5 to 2.0 mm. From its pontine attachment the intermediate root extended anteromedially for a distance of from 2.0 to 5.0 mm before it became incorporated in the lateral aspect of the free motor root. Closer to the trigeminal ganglion the motor root and the intermediate root fused with the expanding sensory root. The fibers in the intermediate root ranged from 1.5 to 7.5 μ in diameter with the majority of fibers (60 to 70%) having a diameter of from 4.0 to 6.0 μ. Approximately 10% of the fibers were unmyelinated. The total number of fibers in the intermediate root varied from 170 to 416 with an average of 266 fibers. The morphological data obtained in an experimental animal such as presented in this paper may provide a basis for future experimental work on the clarification of the functional role of the trigeminal intermediate root.

    Functional organization of the oculomotor nucleus in the baboon (1981)

    Notes: The functional organization of the oculomotor nucleus was investigated using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) histochemistry. In a series of baboons, injections of HRP were made into the skeletal muscles supplied by the oculomotor nerve (medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique, and the levator palpebrae superioris). After a 48-hour survival time the animals were sacrificed via perfusion-fixation and the brains treated according to the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-HRP method of Mesulam (1978).The inferior oblique, inferior rectus, medial rectus, and levator palpebrae superioris muscles are supplied by cells located primarily in the homolateral oculomotor nucleus. Some fibers to the levator palpebrae superioris arise from cells in both caudal central nuclei. The superior rectus muscle receives fibers from cells in the contralateral oculomotor nucleus. The results were complied using a Lucite-plate reconstruction method that permits visualization of the three-dimensional configuration of the neuronal populations within the oculomotor nucleus.Oculomotor neurons are organized in a vertical column that may be anatomically divided into rostral, middle, and caudal thirds. A section through any of these levels may be further subdivided into dorsal, intermediate, and ventral zones. Each of the oculomotor skeletal muscles was found to have cells at almost all levels of the nucleus and in certain zones at each level. These functional cell groups intermingle with one another in the baboon and do not remain segregated into distinct subnuclei or subdivisions. Much overlap was evident between cells innervating the homolateral inferior rectus, homolateral inferior oblique, and the contralateral superior rectus muscles. There was also overlap between those cells supplying the homolateral levator palpebrae superioris and the homolateral medial rectus muscles.
