    Modifications in the distribution of met-enkephalin in the limbic system of the cat brain after electroacupuncture. An immunocytochemical study
    (Murcia : F. Hernández, 1995) Vazquez, J.; Muñoz Madrid, Juan; Cáceres, J.L.
    The distribution of met-enkephalin in the limbic system of the cat brain and its modification after low frequency electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation have been studied experimentally using the indirect immunocytochemistry technique. A marked increase of post-stimulation met-enkephalin immunoreactivity was observed in the tractus habenulo-penduncularis, tractus mamilo-thalamicus, and media1 forebrain bundle, and a decrease at the leve1 of the nucleus interpeduncularis, medialis dorsalis, stria terminals, septalis lateralis, septalis medialis, accumbens septi, supraopticus, and amygdaloideus centralis. The experimental results link the changes in immunoreactivity (and therefore the structures in which they take place) with the action of low frequency EA, and permit the conclusion that the met-enkephalinergic portion of the limbic system studied is directly related morpho-functionally with analgesia and the anatomic pathways of pain.

    Widespread doublecortin expression in the cerebral cortex of the octodon degus
    (Frontiers Media, 2021-04-29) Van Groen, Thomas; Kadish, Inga; Caballero Bleda, María; Baño-Otalora, Beatriz; Rol, María Ángeles; Madrid, Juan Antonio; Popovic, Natalija; Popovic Popovic, Miroljub; Anatomía Humana y Psicobiología
    It has been demonstrated that in adulthood rodents show newly born neurons in the subgranular layer (SGL) of the dentate gyrus (DG), and in the subventricular zone (SVZ). The neurons generated in the SVZ migrate through the rostral migratory stream (RMS) to the olfactory bulb. One of the markers of newly generated neurons is doublecortin (DCX). The degu similarly shows significant numbers of DCX-labeled neurons in the SGL, SVZ, and RMS. Further, most of the nuclei of these DCX-expressing neurons are also labeled by proliferating nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki67. Finally, whereas in rats and mice DCX-labeled neurons are predominantly present in the SGL and SVZ, with only a few DCX neurons present in piriform cortex, the degu also shows significant numbers of DCX expressing neurons in areas outside of SVZ, DG, and PC. Many areas of neocortex in degu demonstrate DCX-labeled neurons in layer II, and most of these neurons are found in the limbic cortices. The DCX-labeled cells do not stain with NeuN, indicating they are immature neurons.
