New Fluorescent Antibody: Cy3-labeled Anti-murine NGFr (Cat. #FL-05) Advanced Targeting Systems introduces a new help in immunostaining: The antibody to mouse nerve growth factor receptor (NGFr, low affinity neurotrophin receptor, p75) conjugated to Cy3. The antibody is our widely-used rabbit polyclonal that has been affinity purified (Cat. #AB-N01AP). As can be seen in the figure …
We just completed surgeries where we implanted third ventricular cannulas and temporary bilatera cannulas directed into the nucleus tractus solitarius in the brainstem of animals. We injected either the Blank-SAP control toxin (Cat. #IT-21) or the experimental material Oxytocin-SAP into the bilateral NTS cannulae over a 30-second period. However, within the next week — two …

Contributed by Kevin Pang and Heidi Smith, Bowling Green State University, Dept Psychology, Bowling Green, Ohio Hypocretin (or orexin) neurons are located in the hypothalamus and have been implicated in various functions including sleep, arousal and feeding. One area receiving dense hypocretin projections and expressing hypocretin-2 receptors (H-2r) is the medial septum (MS), an area …
