  • Quantitative study of synaptic boutons on frog intracardiac neurons

    Open AccessDarius Batulevičius, Gertrūda Skripkienė et al.ARTICLEPapers on Anthropology2017

    The frog is a useful model to study the structure and function of intracardiac neurons. The goal of this study was to evaluate the size and distribution of synaptic boutons on the intracardiac neurons in the frog Rana temporaria. Interatrial septa from four animals were double-labelled immunohistochemically for the cholinergic marker choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and the marker of synaptic vesicles synaptophysin (SYP). One hundred intracardiac…

  • Ganglionic and non-ganglionic neurons in frog heart

    Open AccessDarius Batulevičius, Gertrūda Skripkienė et al.ARTICLEPapers on Anthropology2017

    This study was designed to compare the morphology of neurons in relation to their distance from the major nerve trunks in the heart of the frog Rana temporaria. Seventy-nine intracardiac neurons were labelled intracellularly with fluorescent markers Lucifer Yellow CH and Alexa Fluor 568. The neurons located on the extensions of the vagus nerve were considered as ganglionic, while neurons spread loosely at further distance from these extensions we…

  • Complexity of the frog intracardiac neurons. Intracellular injection study

    Open AccessDarius Batulevičius, Gertrūda Skripkienė et al.ARTICLEPapers on Anthropology2012

    The goal of this study was to determine the structure of intracardiac neurons in the frog Rana temporaria. Fifty-six intracardiac neurons from 8 animals were labelled ionophoretically by the intracellular markers AlexaFluor 586 and Lucifer Yellow CH. Among the labelled neurons, we found the cells of unipolar, bipolar, multipolar and pseudounipolar types. Multiple neuronal processes originated from the soma, the axon hillock and the initial segmen…

  • Gender differences in the human cervicothoracic ganglia

    Open AccessAnita Dabužinskienė, Aleksandras Ratkevicius et al.ARTICLEPapers on Anthropology2012

    Researchers still further have a morphological interest in sympathetic ganglia. Functionally, paravertebral ganglia are involved in many physiological and pathological aspects of neuropathic, vascular, visceral pain syndromes, the Raynaud’s syndrome and hyperhydrosis. Several interventions on ganglia as surgical and chemical sympathectomy, the ganglion block, and the chemical or thermal sympatholysis are applied for treatment of the pathological …
