The activities of the transmitter metabolizing enzymes monoamineoxidase and acetylcholinesterase and of succinic dehydrogenase were investigated in the telencephalon of Salmo irideus (teleostei). There is a high reaction intensity of the MAO in the whole telencephalon with graded differences between the various nuclear areas. It is highest in the area dorsalis telencephali; the larger fiber tracts (Tr. olfactorius medialis et lateralis; medial and lateral forebrain bundle) are strong MAO-positive, too. There is an extremely weak AchE-reaction throughout the telencephalon. The only nuclear area which is clearly histochemically demonstrable is the regio Dm2 in the area dorsalis telencephali. The SDH-activity is demonstrable in the whole telencephalon. The activity is higher in the area dorsalis as compared with the area ventralis telencephali. In the ependym there are only a few traces of MAO- and SDH-reaction products. The recent findings may support, from a histochemical view, the hypothesis that the telencephalon of Salmo irideus represents brain structures which show structural and functional similarities with limbic telencephalic structures of higher vertebrates.

The paper provides comparative data of the localization of histochemical reactions demonstrating the activities of alpha-glycerophosphate and succinate dehydrogenases, acid phosphatase, non-specific esterases and non-specific acetylcholinesterase in the C cells of thyroids of 26 animals belonging to 5 rodent species. The family Muridae is represented by the Wistar albino rat and albino mouse, the family Microtidae by the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber 1780), the field vole Microtus agrestis L. 1761, and the pine vole Pitymys subterraneus De Selys-Longchamps 1825. The observed enzyme activity differences were most conspicuous on comparing the rat and mouse thyroids and in a much less degree the Microtidae thyroids. Among the histochemical reactions tested that for succinate dehydrogenase proved to be least effective as a C cell marker, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase being better, and acid phosphatase and non-specific esterases the best (not in the rat thyroid). The reaction for non-specific cholinesterase (with some limitations) gave satisfactory results in the C cells of all animal's thyroids. The present paper continues earlier studies [19] on the morphology of the C cells in thyroid glands of the rodents of the families Muridae and Microtidae and aims at supplementing them with histochemical data of enzymic activities. It deals with enzyme reactions that are employed as C cell markers in Mammals other than Rodents.

Type I white fibres constitute the pale band of the pigeon serratus metapatagialis (SMP) muscle. The histochemical activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyryl cholinesterase (BuChE) was studied in these unique muscle fibres. The muscle fibres possess low SDH but reciprocally high LDH activity. These tonic glycolytic fibres displayed high AChE activity at the myoneural junctions, but the latter lacked BuChE activity. Both AChE and BuChE activities were, however, present at the neuromuscular junctions of the twitch muscle fibres of the SMP muscle. Since BuChE is a precursor in AChE synthesis, the slow-tonic muscle fibres probably depend solely on the AChE transported axonally.

Spinal ganlia of a 9-day chick embryo were cultivated by the method of "floating rafts" in common medium (control) and in the medium containing amizyl (100 microgram/ml) or a neuregrowth factor (50 microgram/ml). With the action of amizyl there proved to be an increase in the number of surviving neurons; the majority of these neurons contained monoaminoxidase; there was a rise of NAD-diaphorase activity, and, to a lesser extent, of lactic dehydrogenase and isocitric dehydrogenase activities. The neurogrowth factor caused an increase in the number of nerve cells with acetylcholinesterase; there was an elevation of NAD-diaphorase and some rise of malic dehydrogenase activities; the activity of lactic dehydrogenase became maximal; as to succinic dehydrogenase--its activity was somewhat suppressed.

A comparison has been made of the localization and ontogenetic development of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in sections of fetal human apinal cord and brain stem using histochemical methods. Spinal cord sections of young fetuses (8-10 weeks in utero) showed low to moderate enzymatic activity whereas sections of older fetuses (12-18 weeks in utero) revealed high concentrations of AChE and SDH in the ventral and laeral horns. A similar increase in enzymatic activity during development was also observed in brain stem sections where AChE and SDH were mainly confined to cranial nerve nuclei. A comparison of our histochemical findings with investigations on the development of motor activity in the spinal cord suggests that there is a correlation between the increase in AChE activity and functional development.

The histochemical localization of six enzymic activities (acetylcholinesterase, pseudocholinesterase, monoamine oxidase, lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) has been studied in the vagal and facial lobes of the goldfish, Carassius auratus. These encephalic centers are hypertrophic in Cyprinidae, corresponding to the dominance of gustatory function. Acetylcholinesterase shows a complex laminar distribution in the vagal lobes and a peculiar cellular localization in vagal motor neurons. Monoamine oxidase activity is mainly evident in fibrous tracts coming to or leaving from the lobes. Among oxidative enzymes examined, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase exhibit distribution patterns respectively similar to those observed for acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase. Some features on enzymes distribution in the gustatory centers of Carassius are in agreement with the enzymatic patterns well known in higher vertebrates.

A simple and rapid low speed density gradient centrifugation method has been described to isolate relatively pure synaptosomes and non-synaptic mitochondria from rat brain cerebral cortex. The purity of the fractions isolated were tested biochemically by considering some marker enzymes, i.e., lactate dehydrogenase, plasma membrane Na+K+ATPase and acetylcholinesterase for the synaptosomes and succinate dehydrogenase for the mitochondrial fraction. The adrenergic receptor properties in the synaptosomal membrane were evaluated by observing the effect of different beta- and alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonists and antagonists as function of synaptic plasma membrane Na+K+ATPase activity. Isoproterenol (beta-agonist) and yohimbine (alpha 2-antagonist)-induced changes in the synaptosomal Na+K+ATPase activity were counteracted by beta-antagonist propranolol and alpha 2-agonist clonidine, respectively. In the non-synaptic mitochondria the corresponding effects were insignificant. The study illustrates an easy, rapid and low-speed preparatory method to obtain synaptosomal and non-synaptic mitochondrial fractions of high purity.

Injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into a caudocentral portion of the non-cortical telencephalon of Caiman known as the dorsolateral area (dorsal ventricular ridge) resulted in retrogradely labeled neurons throughout the entire extent of the ipsilateral nucleus reuniens. HRP-positive cells were most numerous in nucleus reuniens pars diffusa with only sparse labeling of neurons in nucleus reuniens pars centralis. The results of the present experiment, when compared with those of a prior study that determined the telencephalic connections of nucleus reuniens pars centralis, suggested that these two forebrain areas are separate. Staining with succinate dehydrogenase and acetylcholinesterase revealed that nucleus reuniens pars centralis and pars diffusa and their respective telencephalic projection areas can be differentiated on the basis of histochemical features. These findings in Caiman suggest that certain thalamic and telencephalic auditory areas in birds and crocodilians are most likely the result of common ancestry rather than examples of parallel evolution.

The hippocampus provides a suitable area in the brain for the analysis of neuronal plasticity after application of a selective lesioning technique. Using histochemistry and autoradiography, we studied synaptic reorganization in the rat hippocampus with selective CA1 pyramidal cell lesioning caused by transient forebrain ischemia after long-term survival. An autoradiographic study was performed on second messenger systems ([3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, [3H]forskolin and [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate binding). One-hundred days after ischemia, depletion of CA1 pyramidal cells and marked shrinkage of the CA1 subfield was noted in spite of unaltered thickness of the CA3 band and of the dentate molecular layers. Although neuronal density in the CA3 region of animals killed seven days after ischemia was not different from the normal group, 78% of animals showed neuronal loss of 30-50% in the stratum pyramidale of the CA3b 100 days after recirculation. Sixty-seven per cent of animals exhibited supragranular mossy fiber sprouting in the dentate gyrus. However, CA3 neuronal loss did not correlate with mossy fiber sprouting. Succinic dehydrogenase was depleted in the CA1 100 days after ischemia, and animals with CA3 damage showed a reduction of succinic dehydrogenase activity in the CA3. In contrast to the unaltered acetylcholinesterase in the animals killed seven days after ischemia, high density bands of acetylcholinesterase activity in the stratum pyramidale of the CA1 were found to be broadened 100 days after ischemia. In the CA1 subfield, subnormal activity of [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate and [3H]forskolin binding were observed in spite of the depleted [3H]inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate binding. [3H]Forskolin binding in the hilus had increased by 62% 100 days after ischemia, although binding in the stratum lucidum of the CA3 and in the stratum moleculare of the dentate gyrus was unaltered. However, no visible supragranular increase in [3H]forskolin binding was observed. These results indicate that long-term survival after CA1 pyramidal cell depletion caused by transient forebrain ischemia induced the modulation of neuronal activity and synaptic rearrangements in the whole hippocampal formation.
