Rats given a series of shocks exhibit a potentiated startle response to a loud acoustic stimulus compared to nonshocked animals. Experiment 1 showed that this shock sensitization of startle, like conditioned fear potentiation of startle to discrete cues, emerges relatively late in development (i.e.,

โฆ Synopsis
Background: The mammalian mandible develops around Meckel's cartilage and other secondary cartilages, including the dentary. There have already been many studies of the development of the rat mandible that have employed histological serial sections. However, no previous investigators have captured the three-dimensional features of the developmental process.
Methods: In this study, the technique of double staining with alizarin red S and alcian blue was employed directly on whole body specimens to investigate the three-dimensional development of the rat mandible.
Results and Conclusions: We found that the molar socket obstructs the developing mandible, causing it to emerge medial to Meckel's cartilage. Our results also indicate that the secondary mandibular cartilages may contribute to supplementary growth in response to local factors. Anat.

Polyneural innervation was studied in the psoas muscle in developing rats from P4 till P25 and at adult age, with the combined silveracetylcholinesterase technique. Nerve endings were counted, and endplates were measured. These data were compared with such data in the human. The end of polyneural in
Islet cell lines were produced by retroviral transduction of SV-40 T antigen to monolayer cultures of neonatal rat islets. One line, RN0-11, showed evolution of phenotypes in vitro. It evolved from a non-hormone secreting cell line to an insulin secreting line. It further developed glucagon producin
Some find developmental differences in rodent thermal nociceptive responses and others do not. To address these inconsistencies, the escape latencies of immature (5-to 25-day-old) and adult (3-to 4-month-old) albino rats were recorded following tail exposure to different intensities of radiant heat
