    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Zur Klärung der Frage, ob für die Anreicherung freier Gallensäuren in Coecum und Colon eine unterschiedliche Resorption freier und konjugierter Gallensäuren im Dünndarm mitverantwortlich ist, wurden in vitro an nicht durchbluteten, isoliert durchströmten Dünndarmsegmenten der Ratte ihr Durchtritt und ihre Bindung untersucht. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit denjenigen verglichen, die in vivo an durchbluteten, abgebundenen Ileumschlingen bei Ratten in situ gewonnen wurden. Folgende Gallensäuren standen zur Verfügung: Cholsäure, deren Taurin- und Glycin-Konjugat; Desoxycholsäure sowie deren Taurin- und Glycin-Konjugat. 2. Die in vitro-Versuche ergaben, daß konjugierte Gallensäuren, gemessen an der Konzentration im Resorbat, in größerem Umfange als freie durch die Mucosa treten. Je polarer die Gallensäure, desto größer die Durchtrittsrate. Beim Durchtritt werden weder freie Gallensäuren mit Taurin bzw. Glycin konjugiert, noch werden Gallensäure-Konjugate in nennenswertem Umfange hydrolytisch gespalten. Der durch die Darmwand gebundene Anteil freier Gallensäuren ist größer als der konjugierter. 3. In vivo erfolgt die Resorption aus Ileumschlingen so schnell, daß innerhalb von 15 min von allen Gallensäuren gleichviel resorbiert wird. Das Ausmaß der Bindung der Gallensäuren in der Darmwand ist unterschiedlich. Von Desoxycholsäure wird auch in vivo doppelt soviel gebunden wie von Glykocholsäure. 4. Das Ergebnis der Versuche besagt, daß in vivo eine geringere Resorption für die Anreicherung freier Gallensäuren im Dickdarm keine Rolle spielt. Die Unterschiede im Durchtritt freier und konjugierter Gallensäuren in vitro sind methodisch bedingt.
    Notes: Summary 1. In order to elucidate the question whether the coecal and colonic accumulation of free bile acids is caused by different absorption of free and conjugated bile acids in the small intestine, their penetration and their binding were studied in vitro in isolated rat gut segments. The results were compared with those in vivo obtained with tied loops in situ. The following bile acids were available: cholanic acid, its taurine and glycine conjugates; deoxycholic acid and both its conjugates. 2. The experiments in vitro showed that relative to the concentration in the absorbed fluid, the penetration rate of conjugated bile acids is higher than that of free bile acids. The more polar a bile acid is the greater is the penetration rate. During penetration neither free bile acids are conjugated with taurine or glycine nor conjugated bile acids are hydrolysed. 3. In vivo absorption in ileal loops is so rapid that within 15 min the absorption rate is nearly the same for all bile acids. The amounts of bile acids bound by the tissue vary. In vivo, as in vitro, twice as much deoxycholic acid is bound as glycocholic acid. 4. The results show that in vivo a lesser absorption is of no significance for the accumulation of free bile acids in the colon. The difference in the absorption of free and conjugated bile acids in vitro is caused by the method.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Phenolrot wird aus dem Jejunum der Ratte im wesentlichen passiv durch Diffusion resorbiert. Ein kleiner Anteil der resorbierten Menge folgt jedoch Charakteristica eines aktiven Prozesses. Die Resorption dieses Anteils wird durch p-Aminohippursäure (PAH) unterdrückt. In vitro baut Darmgewebe einen Teil von verabreichtem Phenolrot um, so daß es sich dem photometrischen Nachweis entzieht. Diese Reaktion wird durch PAH nicht beeinflußt. Aus dem Verhalten von PAH wird geschlossen, daß es sich bei der aktiven Elimination von Phenolrot aus dem Darm in vivo nicht um Stoffwechsel, sondern um aktiven Transport handelt, der Ähnlichkeit mit den Säuretransportmechanismen in anderen Organen zeigt. Die Phenolrotresorption ist unabhängig von der Art der Kationen in der zur Resorption angebotenen Phenolrotlösung, soweit es sich um Na-, K- oder Na-K-Ionengemische handelt. Auch wenn in der zur Resorption verabreichten Lösung alle Na- und K-Ionen durch Li-Ionen ersetzt werden, bleibt die Phenolrotresorption ohne signifikante Änderung.
    Notes: Summary Phenol red is absorbed from the jejunum of the rat mainly by diffusion. A small proportion of the amount administered, however, disappears from the gut in a way that suggests an active process. The disappearance of this part is inhibited by p-aminohippurate (PAH). In vitro, phenol red is partly metabolized by jejunal tissue. PAH has no effect on this metabolism. From the interaction of PAH it is concluded that the active elimination of phenol red from the jejunum in vivo is due to absorption by active transport and not to metabolism. This process is similar to the active transport of organic acids known in other organs in that it is inhibited by PAH. Absorption of phenol red is not influenced by the kind of cations present in the solution, as far as sodium, potassium or mixtures of both ions are concerned. Substitution of lithium for sodium and potassium does not result in significant changes in the absorption of phenol red.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An geschlechtsreifen Ratten wurde der Einfluß des Antiandrogens Cyproteronacetat auf die Hexobarbitalnarkose bei Ratten in Abhängigkeit vom Hormonstatus geprüft. Cyproteronacetat entfaltet in diesem Versuchsmodell nicht seine sonst bekannte spezifische Hemmwirkung gegenüber endogenem und injiziertem Testosteron. Die Vorbehandlung mit Cyproteronacetat führt zu einer Steigerung der mikrosomalen Fermentaktivität in der Leber und damit wahrscheinlich zu einem schnelleren Abbau von Hexobarbital. Die Folge ist eine erhebliche Narkosedauerverkürzung durch diese Verbindung.
    Notes: Summary The influence of the antiandrogen Cyproterone acetate on Hexobarbital narcosis in relation to the hormonal state was investigated in adult rats. In this test model Cyproterone acetate failed to exert its wellknown specific inhibitory action on endogeneous and injected testosterone. Pretreatment with Cyproterone acetate led to enhanced microsomal enzyme activity in the liver and thus probably to a more rapid metabolism of Hexobarbital. The result of this is a significant shortening of the duration of narcosis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Die Retention von freiem und komplexgebundenem 59Fe-Eisen wurde 6 Tage nach Verabreichung mit der Schlundsonde bei normalen und anämischen Ratten in einer Ganztiermeßanlage bestimmt. 2. Anämische Ratten nahmen fünfmal mehr Eisen auf als normale Tiere, wenn ionisiertes Eisen angeboten wurde. Alle geprüften Komplexbildner vermindern die gesteigerte Eisen-Retention anämischer Ratten. Bezogen auf die Werte der anämischen Gruppe (=100%) wurde die Retention durch EDTA um 87%, durch Citronensäure um 40%, durch Ascorbinsäure um 32% und durch Nicotinhydroxamsäure um 31% herabgesetzt. 3. In Gegenwart von Komplexbildnern ist die Eisen-Retention anämischer Tiere bei Citronensäure 8,7, von EDTA 6,3, von Nicotinhydroxamsäure 3,7 und von Ascorbinsäure 2,7 mal höher als bei normalen.
    Notes: Summary 1. In normal and anemic rats, the retention of free and complex-bound 59Fe-iron was measured with a whole body counter 6 days after its oral administration. 2. If the iron is administered in the ionic form to iron-deficient rats they show a retention of iron 5 times greater than that of normal animals. The increased iron retention of anemic rats is diminished by all complexing agents tested. EDTA reduced it by 87%, citric acid by 40%, ascorbic acid by 32% and nicotine hydroxamic acid by 31%. 3. When the iron is combined with citric acid its retention by iron-deficient rats was 8.7 times increased in comparison to normal rats, with EDTA 6.3 times, with nicotine hydroxamic acid 3.7 and with ascorbic acid 2.7 times.

Es wird gezeigt, daß über dem Nucleus paragigantocellularis und über dem Ncl. “z” swischen den Fasern der Glia marginalis Nervenzellen liegen.

    Notes: Summary In the marginal glia covering the brain stem of the cat, regional differences are described in paraffin sections of brains which had been fixed by perfusion of Bouin's fluid. It is shown that between the glia fibres covering the nucleus paragigantocellularis and the nucleus “z” there are nerve cells. It is suggested that in the region of the nucleus paragiganto-cellularis these cells are the morphological substrate of a chemosensible zone described in physiological experiments by Loeschcke, Mitchell and others.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An Paraffinschnitten durch das Corpus callosum perfusionsfixierter Gehirne von 19 Katzen im Alter von einem Tag bis zu 2 1/2 Jahren wurde das Capillarvolumen bestimmt. Es beträgt bei der neugeborenen Katze 0,81 Vol.-%. In der 2. Lebenswoche beginnt eine Zunahme, die in der 5. Woche ein Maximum von 2,92 Vol.-% erreicht. Im Verlauf der 6. Woche setzt eine zunächst rasche, von der 7. Woche an aber nur noch langsam verlaufende Abnahme ein, bis bei einem Lebensalter von etwa 1 Jahr ein für das erwachsene Tier charakteristischer Wert um 1,5 Vol.-% erreicht wird. Die Abnahme des Capillarvolumens hängt mit der Markscheidenbildung und der dadurch bedingten Zunahme des Fasermaterials zusammen.
    Notes: Summary Postnatal changes of capillary density have been determined in paraffin sections through the corpus callosum of 19 cats. At birth the capillary density amounts to 0.81 vol.-%. In the 2nd week of postnatal life it begins to increase and reaches a maximum of 2.92 vol.-% in the 5th week. From the 6th week onwards there is an initially steep and later on less pronounced decrease until at an age of about 1 year a value of about 1.5 vol.-% is reached, which is maintained in adult life. — The decrease in the percentage of capillary volume seen after the 5th week is caused by the rapid increase in fibrous material due to myelination.

    Notes: Summary Small lesions (in some cases bilateral) were made in the cerebral primary sensorimotor region in altogether 21 adult cats and the ensuing degeneration in the pontine nuclei was studied with the silver impregnation methods of Nauta and Glees. Using thermocoagulation it was possible to obtain lesions restricted entirely to particular cortical regions (for example the “hindlimb region” in the posterior sigmoid gyrus). The main results are as follows: 1. All parts of the primary sensorimotor region send fibres to the pontine nuclei. The projections from the posterior part of the posterior sigmoid gyrus and the posterior part of the coronal gyrus are relatively scanty. 2. The cortical “motor” area (the anterior sigmoid gyrus and the anterior part of the coronal gyrus) and the “sensory” area (the posterior sigmoid gyrus and the posterior part of the coronal gyrus) do not project to identical pontine regions, although both projections are organized in principally the same way. 3. The “motor” and “sensory” areas both project in a somatotopical manner onto two longitudinally oriented sharply delimited columns. In both projections one column is located medial and one lateral to the longitudinal fibre bundles of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts. Within the medial columns the “hindlimb” is represented ventrally with “face” most dorsally, within the lateral columns the “hindlimb” is located most caudally, with “forelimb” and “face” successively more rostrally. 4. The present results are in agreement with physiological observations on the cerebrocerebellar relations, but show that the pontine projection from the primary sensorimotor cortex is organized in a more complex manner than hitherto assumed.

    Notes: Summary The EEG frequency content in cats, anaesthetized by Nembutal and artificially ventilated, was altered by means of injections of either additional Nembutal or of Metrazol. The EEG in cerveau isolé preparations was also changed in the same way. The regional cortical blood flow was determined by means of the 85Krypton technique. A high correlation was found between the frequency content of the EEG, measured by means of manual frequency analysis, and the regional cortical blood flow. The cortical blood flow increased when the mean frequency increased, and vice versa. A similar correlation was found when the EEG mean frequency was changed by means of sensory stimulation.

    Notes: Summary 1. The relationship between cortical blood flow and the frequency content of the EEG was studied in a circumscribed area of the exposed cerebral cortex in cats under nitrous oxide-oxygen anaesthesia. Autoregulation of the cortical blood flow was also tested during step-changes of the arterial blood pressure. Observations were made before and after an episode of severe hypoxia. 2. An episode of systemic hypoxia disrupted the normal high correlation between cortical blood flow and EEG frequency content. In the post-hypoxic period cortical flows of up to about three times normal values were recorded together with brain swelling and a slow wave EEG. The hyperemia and swelling subsided during 1–2 h after the hypoxic episode, and were accompanied by partial or complete recovery of the EEG. In the post-hypoxic period a defective autoregulation of the cortical blood flow to changes in the systemic blood pressure was demonstrated. 3. The cerebral post-hypoxic state with hyperaemia, brain swelling, EEG depression, and loss of autoregulation of blood flow, is probably caused by an accumulation of anaerobic metabolites which lead to cerebral tissue acidosis.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus was studied in the rat with the electron microscope under circumstances of elevated brain monoamine level following treatment with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor Nialamid. The number of granular vesicles (size in diameter 450–1100 Å) in synaptic terminals increased after Nialamid treatment significantly, while their size did not change; the number of agranular vesicles remained unchanged. The time courses of the increase of granular vesicles and elevation of brain noradrenaline content were approximately parallel. It is inferred that the granular vesicles of size 450 to 1100 Å may possibly be the storage sites of noradrenaline.

    Notes: Summary Rats with bilateral anterior and posterior hippocampal lesions (APH), anterior hippocampal lesions (AH), and controls were trained on CRF for water, and then switched to FR-20. Both hippocampal groups adapted more readily than controls to the FR-20 schedule and maintained significantly higher rates for 45 days. There were no significant differences on FR-20 between the lesion groups. Following FR-20, the rates of all groups were equalized by training on FR-30. During subsequent extinction, the APH group made significantly more responses than both the AH and control groups, while AH and control groups were indistinguishable. The acquisition results were interpreted as indicating increased emotional reactivity to delay of anticipated reward in both hippocampally lesioned groups. The extinction results suggested that APH, but not AH, lesions also result in increased perseveration.

    Notes: Summary Fractionation of the cat cerebellum has revealed that the parallel fibers of the cerebellar cortex break into two types of fragments which can be recognized in thin sections and in suspensions of negatively stained material. Fragmented material correlates well with electron micrographs of parallel fibers in situ. Parallel fiber axons and their bulbous presynaptic expansions sediment mainly into two subfractions. One unique layer consists of the intersynaptic tubular pieces of parallel fiber axons. Another layer is enriched in the synaptic portions which make contact with Purkinje spines. The possible contaminants of these fractions are discussed. These fractions may permit analysis of the chemical organization of conducting vis à vis synaptic membranes from a known anatomical source. This material was presented as a preliminary report at the Sixth Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, November 1966, and is contained in J. Cell. Biol. 31, 52A, 1966.

    Notes: Summary The corticothalamic projections from the gyrus proreus and the medial wall of the rostral hemisphere have been studied in the cat with the silver method of Nauta. The gyrus proreus projects upon the following nuclei (for abbreviations, see list on page 133), ipsilateral R, VA, VM, VL, MD, Pc, CL, CM, Pf, VPM, VPMpc. VPI and to the contralateral principal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. The medial wall of the rostral hemisphere projects bilaterally upon R, VA, VM, VL, MD, Pc, CL, CM, Pf, VPM, VPMpc, VPI, VPL, the dorsal column nuclei and the principal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. The ipsilateral thalamic projection is more abundant than the contralateral. The latter appears to increase in amount as the lesion is placed successively more ventrally on the medial wall of the rostral hemisphere. Some degenerating fibers cross in the corpus callosum and descend in the contralateral internal capsule but the majority cross in the dorsal part of the anterior commissure and reach the medial aspect of the anterior limb of the contralateral internal capsule. A somatotopical organization of the medial wall of the rostral hemisphere has been demonstrated. The rostrocaudal part projects upon the ipsilateral VPL lateralis (VPLl) and nucleus cuneatus and the contralateral nucleus gracilis and VPL medialis (VPLm). The caudal part of this cortical area sends fibers bilaterally to VPM, VPMpc, and the principal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. The intermediate part, which also includes agranular cortex on the medial wall, projects upon ispsilateral VPLm and nucleus gracilis and upon contralateral VPLl and nucleus cuneatus. — The fibers to the ventro-basal complex, dorsal column nuclei and the principal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve are rather thick. The corticofugal fibers to the other thalamic nuclei are quite thin. — The findings are discussed in light of relevant anatomical and physiological observations in the literature and special emphasis has been laid on reported observations on the “supplementary motor” area.

    Notes: Summary The corticothalamic projection from the anterior ectosylvian gyrus in the cat has been studied with the silver impregnation method of Nauta. The second somatosensory cortical area (SII) projects upon the ipsilateral nucleus ventralis posterolateralis (VPL), nucleus ventralis posteromedialis (VPM), the posterior thalamic region (PO) and to a slight extent upon the reticular nucleus of the thalamus (R), the centrum medianum (CM), the parvocellular part of VPM (VPMpc) and the nucleus ventralis posterior inferior (VPI). A somatotopical arrangement in the projection upon the ventro-basal (VB) complex has been demonstrated and a topical arrangement in the corticothalamic fibers from SII to PO is also evident. The transitional area between SII and the second auditory cortex sends fibers mainly to the entire magnocellular part of the medial geniculate body (MGmc) and to a lesser degree to the principal division of this nucleus (MGp). The corticofugal fibers from SII follow various and rather complicated circuitous routes before they end in the different thalamic nuclei. The experimental findings are discussed in the light of recent anatomical and physiological observations. It is shown that zones B and C of SII which have been shown by Carreras and Andersson (1963) to possess a large number of place and modality specific neurons project upon the VB-complex. On the other hand, zone A which contains a majority of place and modality unspecific neurons sends its fibers exclusively to PO. Finally the problem of thalamocortical projections to SII is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary The role of two spinal sensory pathways, the dorsal column (DC) pathway and the spino-cervico-thalamic tract (SCTT), involved in tactile discrimination was studied. Pour lesion groups of cats (DC lesion, SCTT lesion, combined DC and SCTT lesion, and sham-operated) were tested to discriminate various degrees of roughness. Animals with either the SCTT or the combined lesions performed at around 50–60% level under all the conditions tested. On the other hand, those with the DC lesion and sham-operations generally attained 80–100% level of performance. A difference between the DC group and sham-operated group was found in their rate of learning and ability for finer discrimination. These results are interpreted as an indication that a duplicity in transmission of tactile sensation exists, the DC pathway being more specific than the SCTT.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zum Studium der Reaktion des jugendlichen und erwachsenen Gehirnes auf einen chronischen Reiz wurden bei Katzen verschiedenen Lebensalters intracerebrale Injektionen von Aluminiumhydroxyd vorgenommen. Die Tiere wurden nach Überlebenszeiten von 7 Tagen, 40 Tagen und 3 Monaten durch Perfusion mit Bouinscher Lösung getötet. Die histologische Untersuchung der Gehirne ergab eine Reihe von Unterschieden, je nachdem ob die Injektion vor oder nach der Markscheidenbildung erfolgt war. Besonders auffällig war der Befund, daß in der noch unmyelinisierten weißen Substanz jugendlicher Tiere kein Hirnödem und keine Gliose auftritt. Obgleich durch fluorescenzmikroskopische Untersuchungen gezeigt werden konnte, daß das Aluminium von der Injektionsstelle aus weit in das umgebende Hirngewebe eindringt und dort über lange Zeit festgehalten wird, werden bei den jungen Tieren die Markscheiden später bis in die unmittelbare Umgebung des Herdes normal angelegt. Bei erwachsenen Tieren kam es dagegen in der Nachbarschaft des Herdes stets zu einem starkem Ödem der weißen Substanz, zum Zerfall der Markscheiden und zu einer ausgebreiteten Gliose. Weitere Unterschiede in der Reaktionsweise des Gehirnes jugendlicher und erwachsener Tiere, die den Cortex und insbesondere die marginale Gliafaserschicht betreffen, werden im einzelnen beschrieben und diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary In order to compare the reaction to chronic irritation of young and adult brain intracerebral injections of alumina cream were made in cats of various ages. The animals were killed by perfusion with Bouin's fluid after a survival time of 7 days, 40 days, and 3 months. Histological investigation revealed gross differences in the reaction according to whether the intracerebral injections had been made before or after myelination. Particularly striking was the finding that in the non-myelinated white matter of young animals there was no edema and no subsequent gliosis. Although alumina, as evidenced by fluorescence microscopy after staining with Morin, spreads into the tissue surrounding the focus, subsequent myelination appeared to be normal even in regions close to the site of injection. In contrast, injection into the brains of adult animals was followed by edema, widespread demyelination and gliosis of the white matter near the site of injection. Further differences between young and adult animals were found in the reaction of the grey matter and particularly of the marginal glia.

Methylphenidate (2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/kg) increased response rates at each of these dosages; pentobarbital increased response rates at dosages of 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg but had little effect on overall response rate at 10 mg/kg though, at this dose, performance was characterized by periods of rapid responding alternating with periods of inactivity. The rate-increasing effects of the two drugs were found to be qualitatively different. Several mixtures of the two drugs induced rate increases greater than those found when each drug was given separately. However, pentobarbital (10 mg/kg) reduced the rate-increasing effects of methylphenidate obtained when the latter was given alone at a dosage of 10 mg/kg. Chronic pretreatment with reserpine (0.3 mg/kg for 12 days), given to two animals, progressively reduced rate of responding. Methylphenidate antagonized the effects of reserpine as an increasing function of dosage but the resulting pattern of behavior more closely resembled the effects of methylphenidate given alone than performance recorded in the absence of any drug treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Funktionelle Eigenschaften der excitatorischen Verbindungen von Cortex, Thalamus und Peripherie zu 438 Neuronen der bulbären Trigeminuskerne wurden untersucht. Es konnten Beziehungen zwischen den Latenzzeiten der Antworten auf ipsilaterale, periphere Einzelreize, contralaterale thalamische Einzel- und Serienreize (N. ventralis posteromedialis) und contralaterale corticale Einzel- und Serienreize (somatosensorisches Projektionsgebiet S I, S II) nachgewiesen werden. 2. Für die Gesamtheit der Neurone wurde mit zunehmender Latenzzeit der Entladung auf periphere Reize eine Zunahme der prozentualen Ansprechbarkeit und der Latenzzeit der Antwort auf zentrale Reize beobachtet. 3. Die Neurone, deren periphere, thalamische und corticale Antworten Reizfrequenzen von 50 Hz und mehr folgten, hatten im Mittel kürzere periphere Latenzzeiten als Neurone, die Reizfrequenzen von 50 Hz nicht folgten. 4. Bulbäre Neurone, die mit thalamischen Reizen antidrom erregt wurden (lemniscale Neurone), unterschieden sich im Mittel von den übrigen Neuronen durch kürzere Latenzzeiten für periphere und zentrale Reize. 5. Es wurden lemniscale Neurone beobachtet, die mit corticalen Reizen monosynaptisch erregt werden konnten. 6. Neurone mit kleinen peripheren rezeptiven Feldern hatten im Mittel kürzere Latenzzeiten auf periphere Reize als Neurone mit großen rezeptiven Feldern. 7. Die periphere Reizantwort von Neuronen konnte durch vorausgehende thalamische und corticale Reize gehemmt werden. Im Mittel wurde die Hemmung bei Neuronen mit Latenzzeiten auf periphere Reize häufiger beobachtet. 8. Mögliche Bahnen, die an der Übertragung thalamo-bulbärer Effekte beteiligt sind, wurden diskutiert und schematisch dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit statistischen Methoden geprüft.
    Notes: Summary 1. Functional properties of excitatory connections from cortex, thalamus and periphery to a total of 438 trigeminal bulbar neurons of the cat have been investigated extracellularly. For the sample considered, correlations between latency of response to ipsilateral electrical single stimuli, contralateral electrical thalamic single and serial stimuli (N. ventralis posteromedialis) and also contralateral electrical cortical single and serial stimuli (somatosensory areas S I, S II) were established. 2. With increasing peripheral latency of response, the percentage of neurons responding to central stimulation increased as well. 3. Neurons following thalamic, cortical or peripheral stimulation frequencies of 50 cps or more showed in the average shorter latencies of response compared with neurons that could not be driven with 50 cps stimulation. 4. Bulbar neurons antidromically invaded by stimulation of the thalamus showed shorter latencies to peripheral, thalamic and cortical stimuli compared with other neurons. 5. Lemniscal neurons that could be activated monosynaptically by cortical stimulation have been observed. 6. Neurons with a small peripheral receptive field had in the average a shorter latency to peripheral stimuli than neurons with a large receptive field. 7. Responses to peripheral stimuli could be inhibited by preceding thalamic and cortical stimuli. 8. Possible pathways that are involved in transmission of thalamo-bulbar effects have been discussed and schematically represented. 9. All results have been examined by means of statistical methods.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 1. Hippocampal and lateral geniculate neurones in anaesthetized cats (Chloralose-Urethane) were examined with multibarrelled microelectrodes, testing their responsiveness to microelectrophoretic application of acetylcholine and photic stimulation. 2. In the ventral hippocampus and in the lateral geniculate body 60% of all neurones responded to acetylcholine. 3. Hippocampal neurones were activated with relatively short delay, often less than 1 sec. By contrast, lateral geniculate neurones responded with a latency period of 2–12 sec. The recovery time after acetylcholine-microelectrophoresis was found to be 10–20 sec in both regions. 4. The response of hippocampal and lateral geniculate neurones to photic stimulation was enhanced by local application of acetylcholine; even during phenobarbital depression the photic responses were restored by acetylcholinemicroelectrophoresis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 1. Neurone im Gebiet des Hippocampus und des Corpus geniculatum laterale der mit Chloralose-Urethan narkotisierten Katze wurden mit mehrkanüligen Mikroelektroden auf ihre Ansprechbarkeit auf mikroelektrophoretisch appliziertes Acetylcholin und auf optische Reizung untersucht. 2. Im ventralen Hippocampus und im Corpus geniculatum laterale wurden 60% aller untersuchten Neurone durch Acetylcholin aktiviert. 3. Die Neurone des Hippocampus wurden nach relative kurzer Latenz, oft weniger als 1 sec, aktiviert. Neurone des Corpus geniculatum laterale dagegen zeigten eine Latenz von 2–12 sec. Die Zeit nach der Mikroelektrophorese bis zur Wiedererreichung der normalen Aktivität betrug 10–20 sec für beide Gebiete. 4. Die Acetylcholin-Mikroelektrophorese verstärkte die Reizantwort der Neurone des Hippocampus und des Corpus geniculatum laterale auf visuelle Reizung. Die nach Phenobarbital abgeschwächte Antwort auf visuelle Reizung wurde durch Acetylcholin-Mikroelektrophorese wieder verstärkt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Beatmet man isolierte Rattenlungen mit Drucken von 0–25 cm H2O (Überbeatmung), so zeigen sich im statischen Druck-Volumen-Diagramm Veränderungen, die auf eine Zunahme der Oberflächenspannung in den Lungenalveolen hinweisen. Läßt man die Lungen im Anschluß an die Beatmung 30 min im geblähten Zustand, so wiest das Verhalten despV-Diagramms auf ein Wiederabsinken der alveolären Oberflächenspannung hin, wenn die Versuche bei 37°C vorgenommen wurden, während eine derartige Änderung bei 20–24°C nur angedeutet nachzuweisen ist. 2. Wird der oxydative stoffwechsel durch Beatmung der Lunge mit N2 oder Vergiftung mit KCN ausgeschaltet, so zeigen sich prinzipiell sowohl während der Beatmung als auch in der Restitutionsphase die gleichen Verhältnisse, nur daß unter anoxischen Bedingungen die alveoläre Oberflächenspannung während der Beatmung noch etwas stärker ansteigt. Danach spielt der oxydative Stoffwechsel für die beobachteten Erscheinungen eine untergeordnete Rolle. 3. Wahrscheinlich wird durch die Überbeatmung der Oberflächenfilm in den Lungenalveolen mechanisch geschädigt, wobei ein Teil des oberflächenaktiven Materials inaktiviert wird. Eine Restitution könnte durch Wiederspreitung des inaktivierten Materials oder durch Übertreten von LAS aus den Alveolarzellen an die Alveolaroberfläche erfolgen.
    Notes: Summary The effect of ventilation on the lung alveolar lining layer has been demonstrated by analysis of pressure-volume diagrams. Ventilation of isolated rat lungs at intrapulmonary pressures of 0–25 cm H2O caused an increase of surface forces in the lungs. After ventilation was stopped the lungs were kept inflated at intrapulmonary pressures of 25 cm H2O up to 60 min. Subsequent analysis of the pressure-volume diagrams indicated a decrease of surface forces at 37°C while at 20–24°C only little recovery occurred. The influence of ventilation with N2 or poisoning with KCN on aerobic cell metabolism was investigated. The increase of surface forces was only slightly more pronounced by anoxia during lung-ventilation than in the above experiments. Aerobic cell metabolism, therefore, did not play an important role in our experiments. It is very likely that the decrease of surface activity following ventilation was caused by mechanical changes of the alveolar lining layer. We believe that, to some extent, the lung alveolar surfactant was inactivated. Recovery can be explained by new spreading of inactivated materials or by passage of lung alveolar surfactant from the alveolar cells to the alveolar surface.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In 13 Katzen wurde die Aktivität von 128 Einzelfasern des N. opticus bei Temperaturen zwischen 27 und 39° C abgeleitet und direkt einer Intervallanalyse zugeführt. Die Durchschnittsfrequenz sank mit abnehmender Temperatur von 56/sec bei 39–37° C auf 21/sec unter 29° C. Bei Temperaturen über 35° C wurden nur unimodale oder zweigipfelige Verteilungen mit gehäuften Mehrfachentladungen gefunden. Unter 35° C traten multimodale Intervallhistogramme und Übergangstypen auf, bei denen einer Verteilung mehrere Gipfel aufgesetzt erschienen. Unter 29° C wurden nur mehrgipfelige Verteilungen beobachtet. In der phasischen Reaktion der Neurone wurden mit der Temperaturabnahme Latenzen länger und Hemmungen stärker. Unter 30° C konnte der Reaktionstyp des Neurons oft nicht mehr erkannt werden. Das vermehrte Auftreten multimodaler Verteilungen bei niedrigen Temperaturen ließe sich durch Verminderung von Interaktionen in der Retina erklären. Die Anregung zu dieser Untersuchung wurde von Herrn Professor Dr. Hans Bornschein gegeben.
    Notes: Summary The activity of 128 single fibers of the optic nerve was recorded in 13 cats at temperatures between 27 and 39° C. Nonsequential interval histograms were computed on line. Decreasing temperature diminished the mean frequency of the fiber activity from 56/sec at 37–39° C to 21/sec below 29° C. Above 35° C the histograms were unimodal or bimodal, the first peak caused by repetitive discharges. Below 35° C multimodal histograms appeared; in some distributions several peaks were superimposed. At temperatures below 29° C only multimodal distributions were obtained. The phasic response of the neurons to light showed an increase of latency and of inhibition according to the decrease of temperature. Often the type of the response of the neuron could not be recognized below 30° C. During hypothermia interactions in the retina may be reduced and this may explain why multimodal distributions occur more frequently.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. An Katzen wurden EEG-Veränderungen durch Hypoglykämie hervorgerufen und mit den Aktivitätsveränderungen corticaler Neurone verglichen, wie sie sich bei intracellulären und „quasi-intracellulären“ Ableitungen darstellen. Es zeigte sich, daß pathologische EEG-Veränderungen erst bei niedrigen Blutzuckerwerten (zwischen 30 und 25 mg-%) auftreten und daß es erst bei Werten unter 10–15 mg-% zur elektrischen Stille kommt. 2. Während des flachen, desynchronisierten EEG des wachen Hirns vor Hypoglykämie lassen sich keine Beziehungen zwischen den kleinen EEG- und statistisch verteilten Zellpotentialen nachweisen. — Während der regelmäßigen 8–10/sec- Spindelgruppen, die bei tiefer Hypoglykämie häufig zu beobachten sind, findet sich eine enge Korrelation zwischen den einzelnen Oberflächen-negativen Spindelwellen und Zelldepolarisationen, die meist unterschwellig sind. 3. Bei den langsamen Wellen der δ-Frequenz finden sich ähnliche, aber weniger enge Korrelationen für die flachen, „monomorphen“ δ-Wellen. Andere Formen von langsamen Potentialkomplexen des Cortiocogramms, die im Tintenschreiber als „polymorphe“ δ-Wellen imponieren können, zeigen etwas andere, aber für den einzelnen Wellenkomplex jeweils konstante Beziehungen zur Zellaktivität. 4. Die steilen Wellen wurden unterteilt in primär positive und in primär negative bi- (oder auch tri-)phasische Potentiale. Die primäre Phase der primär-positiven steilen Potentiale ist im Durchschnitt kürzer (unter 20–40 msec) als die negative Phase der primär-negativen Phase (über 100 msec). Die meist überschwellige Zelldepolarisation, die in der Regel zu einer kurzen Gruppenentladung führt, fällt mit der primären Phase, also entweder der positiven oder der negativen zusammen. Die Phasenkoppelung, d. h. die „Synchronisation“ mit dem EEG-Potential, ist jedoch im Fall der primär-positiven Phase enger und die Dauer der Depolarisation kürzer als im Fall der primär-negativen steilen Potentiale. Diese Befunde werden als Hinweis auf eine stärkere Synchronisation der Aktivität der corticalen Nervenzellpopulation im Fall der primär-positiven steilen Potentiale gewertet. 5. Die verschieden engen Phasenkoppelungen und die je nach Steilheit der Wellen wechselnden Phasenbeziehungen zwischen Zellaktivierung und oberflächennegativen resp. -positiven Potentialen werden an Hand eines einfachen Modells der Elektrogenese von EEG-Potentialen erklärt, das den Synchronisationsgrad cortico-petaler und cortico-fugaler Faseraktivität sowie die Summation postsynaptischer Potentiale corticaler Neurone berücksichtigt.
    Notes: Summary 1. The EEG, recorded monopolarly from the pial surface, was investigated during insuline induced hypoglycemia in acute cats and compared with the activity of cortical cells recorded with intra or “quasi-intracellular” electrodes. 2. Pathological changes of the EEG were observed only when the blood glucose fell below 25–30 mg-%. Electrical silence was observed at blood glucose levels below 15–10 mg-%. 3. The essentially flat, “desynchronized” EEG of the awake animal before hypoglycemia did not show any relation between the small, irregular fast EEG- potentials and the statistically distributed cellular potentials. —During the regular 8–10/sec spindles (Fig. 3) a close correlation was found between the single surface- negative spindle waves and the mostly subthreshold compound cellular EPSP's. 4. Slow waves of δ-frequency showed similar but less close correlations, if the waves were of regular appearance comparable to “monomorphic” δ-waves (Fig.4A). Other forms of slow complex potentials (Fig.4B and C), which correspond to “polymorphic” δ-waves in an EEG-record (e.g. Fig.4C and Fig.2d) may show different relations between cellular and EEG-activity which were, however, consistent for each type of complex wave. 5. Sharp waves were divided into primary positive and primary negative bi- (or tri-)phasic potentials. The primary positive phase was always shorter (below 20–40 msec) than the primary negative phase (above 100 msec). The mostly suprathreshold cellular depolarization, which may lead to a short burst of discharge, coincided with the primary, i.e. either the primary positive or the primary negative phase (Fig. 7 shows records from the same cell and different EEG-phenomena). The phase coupling, i.e. the “synchronization” with the EEG-potential, is closer in the primary positive than the primary negative waves, and the duration of the cellular depolarization is also shorter in the former case (compare Fig.7B I–III with 7B IV). This can be interpreted as stronger synchronization of cellular activity during the short primary positive waves. 6. A causal relation between cortical neuronal activity and EEG-potentials is assumed. Differences in the closeness of phase coupling and the changing phase relation between cellular and EEG-activity according to the form and steepness of cortical EEG-potentials are explained by a simple model of electrogenesis of EEG-potentials, which takes in account the degree of synchronization of corticopetal and cortico-fugal fibre activity as well as the summation of postsynaptic potentials of cortical neurones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Frage der Wacho- der Schlaf-Aktivierung der fokalen Epilepsien wird bei 20 epileptischen Katzen im chronischen Experiment untersucht (Kopeloff-Methode). Die Narben wurden im Nucleus amygdaloideus (Pars basolateralis), Hippocampus dorsalis, Formatio reticularis mesencephali, Isocortex gesetzt. Bei einer Untersuchungsdauer der einzelnen Tiere zwischen 3 und 60 Tagen, wurden insgesamt 442 Std in Polygraphie (EEG, EMG, Augenbewegungen) abgeleitet. Die Tiere zeigten innerhalb der ersten 7 Tage Krampfpotentiale im EEG und die meisten ab der 2. Woche Krampfanfälle. Bei Katzen mit subcorticalen Narben war keine Veränderung der Dauer, der Verteilung und der Organisation der einzelnen Schlafstadien nachweisbar. Die im Ruhe-EEG vorhandenen Paroxysmen wurden während des langsamen Schlafes nicht aktiviert und fokalisiert. Im paradoxen Schlaf waren die Krampfpotentiale völlig desaktiviert, es traten einzelne Spindeln auf. Die Tiere mit Narben im Isocortex zeigten im langsamen Schlaf seltene Paroxysmen. Während der häufigeren kurzen Phasen des paradoxen Schlafes war eine Fokalisierung der Spitzen im Bereich der Läsion nachweisbar, jedoch, keine Aktivierung. Bei allen Tieren war die ausgeprägteste Aktivierung der Krampfbereitschft stets in dem von uns als „Wach mit motorischer Inaktivität“ bezeichnete Phase zu bemerken. Daher wird angenommen, daß dieser Zustand bei der Katze mit dem Einschlafstadium des Menschen vergleichbar ist.
    Notes: Summary The activation of focal epileptic activities during wakefulness, slow and REM sleep was studied in chronic experiments in 20 epileptic cats (Kopeloff's method). The lesions were produced in the nucleus amygdaloideus (pars basolateralis), hippocampus dorsalis, formatio reticularis mesencephali and in the isocortex. Each animal was observed from between 3 to 60 days and a total of 442 hours of polygraphy (E.E.G., E.M.G, Eye movements) were recorded. Within the first 7 days all animals showed E.E.G paroxysms and most of them showed seizures from the beginning of the second week. In those cats with subcortical lesions there was no change detected in the duration, distribution and organisation of the different sleep phases. The paroxysmal E.E.G activity seen in the wakeful animal were not activated or focalised during slow-wave sleep; in REM sleep the paroxysms disappeared completely, only a few spindles were seen. Animals with lesions in the isocortex rarely showed paroxysms during the slow wave sleep. However, during REM sleep a clear focalisation was seen, although there was no additional activation in the area of the lesion. In all animals the most significant of the paroxysms was seen during a state which we should like to describe as; “Awake without any motor activity”. It is assumed that this state corresponds to the state of falling asleep in man.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 90 Ratten wurden insgesamt 266 Nierenpunktionen durchgeführt. Selbst Serienbiopsien (bis zu acht Eingriffen pro Tier bzw. bis fünf Punktionen pro Niere) mit Intervallen von wenigen Tagen wurden gut vertragen. Drei Methoden wurden versucht: percutane Blindbiopsie, Punktion unter Sicht von dorsal (extraperitoneal) bzw. von ventral (transperitoneal). Bei Berücksichtigung der wichtigsten Momente (Ergiebigkeit des Punktates, Schwierigkeit des Eingriffes — auch bei nachfolgenden Punktionen —, lokale Folgen an der Niere und Umgebung) hat sich dastransperitoneale Vorgehen als dieMethode der Wahl erwiesen und ausgezeichnete Ergebnisse geliefert. Die Nierenpunktion der Ratte kann besonders zum Studium des Verlaufes experimenteller Nierenkrankheiten mit morphologischen Methoden empfohlen werden.
    Notes: Summary In 90 rats 266 renal puncture biopsies were performed. Even serial biopsies (up to eight per animal or up to five punctures per kidney, respectively) were tolerated very well. Three methods were attempted: Percutaneous blind biopsy, puncture under direct vision by a dorsal (extraperitoneal) approach and by a ventral (transperitoneal) one. Considering the most important factors (e.g. amount of the puncture sample, difficulty of the procedure even in subsequent punctures, local damage to the kidney) the transperitoneal approach has proved to be the method of choice and excellent results were obtained. Renal puncture of rats are especially suitable for studying diseases of the kidney by morphological methods.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. 48 Ratten wurden in Äthernarkose 107 51Cr-markierte Lymphocyten suspendiert in Hankscher Lösung und Heparin in die V. femoralis injiziert. Ein Teil der Tiere bekam gleichzeitig Antilymphocytenserum. Dabei wurde festgestellt, daß der normale Abbau51Cr-markierter Lymphocyten in einer bestimmten zeitlichen Reihenfolge in Lunge, Leber, Milz und peripheren Lymphknoten vonstatten geht und51Cr durch die Niere ausgeschieden wird. Ein Wiederansteigen der Radioaktivität in den erwähnten Organen nach 18–22 Tagen wird mit einem Reutilisationseffekt erklärt. 2. Durch Kaninchen-Anti-Ratten-Lymphocytenserum (ALS) wird diese Verteilung beschleunigt und verändert. In der Lunge findet man eine sehr starke, in der Milz dagegen fast gar keine Anhäufung51Cr-markierter Lymphocyten, was auf eine Schädigung dieses Organs durch ALS hinweisen könnte.
    Notes: Summary 1. 107 51Chromium-labelled lymphocytes have been injected into the femoral vein of 48 rats in aetheranaesthesia. The lymphocytes were suspended in heparinized Hank's solution. 20 animals were treated with antilymphocyte serum at the same time. The normal distribution of51Cr-labelled lymphocytes was found to take place in lung, liver, spleen and peripheral lymphnode in a certain chronological order.51Chromium is eliminated by the kidney. After a period of 18–22 days an increase of radioactivity is found in organs mentioned above which is to be explained by reutilisation of radioactivity. 2. This normal distribution is changed by rabbit-anti-rat-lymphocyte serum. In the lung it is found more of51Cr-labelled lymphocytes in the spleen less than in control animals. These findings suggest a damaging effect induced by antilymphocyte serum.
