An Analysis of the Facilitatory Action of Catechol and Phenol at the Neuromuscular Junction of the Cat
This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the Theses and Dissertations at Loyola eCommons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations by an authorized administrator of…
Botulinum Toxin as a Tool for Research on the Nervous System
TLDR
This work has shown that the sequence of events from synthesis of a transmitter through its ultimate effect at the innervated end-organ is incomplete for any given agent or synapse.
Regulation of spontaneous glutamate release by extracellular calcium
TLDR
Regulation of spontaneous glutamate release by extracellular calcium" (2010) is described.
Investigation of the Anticurare Effect of Sodium Fluoride at the Mammalian Skeletal Neuromuscular Junction: A Dissertation
TLDR
The anticurare action of sodium fluoride was investigated in isolated cat tenuissimus muscle utilizing intracellular microelectrode techniques and a postsynaptic sensitization phenomena was demonstrated on the basis of an increased amplitude of the miniature end plate potential.
A STUDY ON THE ABILITY OF PRECURSOR AND ACETYLATED PRODUCT TO REFILL CHOLINERGIC VESICLES INDEPENDENTLY OF THE CYTOPLASM
TLDR
Results were obtained when mouse brain hippocampal minces were depleted of P3 ACh and subsequently incubated in Krebs containing paraoxon and lmN, and resulted in an enhanced transport of extracellular 14c choline and 14c homocholine into this fraction but not into the s3 fraction.
A comparison of solubilized and membrane bound forms of choline-O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6) in mouse brain nerve endings
Effect of denervation on amine oxidase in structures innervated by the sympathetic.
TLDR
Experiments have been performed to see whether the amount of amine oxidase present is modified by denervation, for if the degeneration of the sympathetic fibres reduced its amount, the increased of denervated structures to noradrenaline and adrenaline might be explained.
GABA as a Putative Neurotransmitter in the Optic Lobes of the Crab HEMIGRAPSUS NUDUS
TLDR
GABA AS A PUTATIVE NEUROTRANSMITTER in the OPTIC LOBes of the CRAB HEMIGRAPSUS NUDUS and the role of language in shaping human behaviour is investigated.
Potentiation by Anticholinesterases of the Response of Rat Mesenteric Arteries to Sympathetic Postganglionic Nerve Stimulation
TLDR
The increase in response to adrenergic nerve stimulation produced by anticholinesterase agents was interpreted to be due to the inactivation of cholinestersterase, thereby causing an increased accumulation of acetylcholine which in turn liberated more norepinephrine from the sympathetic postganglionic fibers.

The peripheral action of tetanus toxin
TLDR
There is no evidence that tetanus toxin reaches the central nervous system by any way other than the blood stream, and the appearance of reflex motor tetanus without any constant rigidity is shown.

TLDR
The subject, therefore, of electric excitation is one not only of intrinsic interest in itself but of almost certain importance in neurology, and one can turn to Electric Excitation of Nerve, by Bernhard Katz, an admirable survey of the subject.
The Subthreshold Potentials in a Crustacean Nerve Fibre
In a recent paper Katz (1937) has described a number of observations which are inconsistent with classical theories of excitation, but which may be explained by assuming that a subthreshold shock can…
Initiation of the Propagated Disturbance
It has long been supposed that the mechanism of propagation is the stimulation of the inactive region just in front, by the advancing actionpotential wave. Plausible as is this theory, it is only…
