✦ Synopsis

Cell counts were made in three divisions of the bullfrog brain: (1) olfactory lobcstelencephalon, (2) diencephalon-mesencephalon, and (3) the hindbrain; average cellular respiration in potassium-enriched Ringcr solution and the rate of respiration in sodium-free medium wcrc tested for their possible relationship to the numbers of glia and numbers of neurons in each region. After restoring somc of thc sodium ions to sodium-free minces, the percent increase in respiration was plotted for each brain segment and compared to the percent of glia per brain division to determine the glial respiratory contribution. Where glial numbers were greater. the potassium-stimulated respiration was greater; where neuronal numbers were greater, the sodium-free respiration was most prominent. The respiration increased most above the sodium-free rate, when sodium ions were added or when the full amount of sodium was present, in the hindbrain, where the glia appear to metabolize more vigorously and the neurons least actively.

## Abstract We tested the hypothesis that respiratory development would be retarded in tadpoles reared in aquaria in which a barrier prevented access to the air–water interface. To test this hypothesis, we examined swimming behavior and respiration in intact tadpoles and gill and lung respiratory a

## Abstract In this study, specific binding sites for [^3^H]‐LTC~4~ on membrane preparations from American bullfrog (__Rana catesbeiana__) brain were characterized. Binding assays were done in the presence of serine (5mM) borate (10 mM) for 30 min at 23Β°C. Under these conditions, no metabolism of L
