β¦ Synopsis
I n a study of regional differences in mctaholic rate of thc optic nerve of the king crab, Limulus polyphemus, Guttman ( '35) made the interesting observation that respiration is not uniform along the nerve, but that thc nerve, as a rule, respires most intensely in the region of the central portion, and declines toward either end (adjacent to eye or brain) and that this relation persists over a wide range of temperatures (16" to 31Β°C.).
Can this difference be further analyzed with respect to the oxygen up- takes of the constituent tissues of the nerve, viz., the fibers, which are uniformly non-medullatcd, and afferent in function, and the non-nervous sheath, which encases the fibers? Does the sheath take part in the maiifestatioii of this differential activity of the nerve as a whole, and if so what is the relative magnitude of its contribution? It will indeed be shown t h a t '14).

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The Amide II wavelength (6.45 ΞΌm) produced by the free electron laser (FEL) can efficiently create an optic nerve sheath fenestration in rabbits. We wished to determine if it would be equally successful in macaque monkeys and to determine the histopathologi
## Background: It has been suggested that retinal ganglion cells (rgcs) of tupaia can be subdivided into three classes that correspond to the x, y, and w classes in the cat. estimates of these classes as determined by electrophysiological experiments and by histological studies of the retina are at
Previous work from this laboratory demonstrated a relation between ability to regenerate a limb and number of nerve fibers available per unit area of amputation wound. Animals with fewer fibers than the newt, Triturus, (for example, Rana, Anolis, and Mus) do not regrow the limb. An exception appeare
In the salamander Plethodon jordani, the morphology and axonal projections of thalamic (TH) neurons and their responses to electrical optic nerve stimulation were determined by intracellular recording and biocytin labeling under in vitro, whole-brain conditions. Based on their axonal projections, la
