Histochemical localization of synaptic zinc was examined in the somatosensory (SI) barrel cortex of mouse. The laminar distribution and distribution within the barrel field were described. At postnatal day 3 (P3) and 5 (P5), very faint and uniform zinc staining was present in the lower part of the s

Multiple injections of methamphetamine (mAMPH) cause degeneration of neurons in rat primary somatosensory cortex (Par1). These degenerating cells can be labeled histochemically with the fluorochrome dye, Fluoro-Jade (FJ). This area of Par1 also contains the representation of the mystacial vibrissae.
## Abstract The rodent somatosensory barrel cortex is an ideal model for studying the impact of sensory experience on developing brain circuitry. To examine whether and how interference with sensory perception in the early postnatal period can affect the development of synaptic networks in this sys
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in neocortex affects neuronal excitability as well as cortical blood flow and metabolism. Interneurons immunoreactive for VIP (VIP-IR neurons) are characterized by their predominantly bipolar appearance and the radial orientation of their main dendrites. In or
