Background
We have recorded responses from single neurons in murine visual cortex to determine the effectiveness of the input from the two murine cone photoreceptor mechanisms and whether there is any unique selectivity for cone inputs at this higher region of the visual system that would support the possibility of colour vision in mice. Each eye was stimulated by diffuse light, either 370 (strong stimulus for the ultra-violet (UV) cone opsin) or 505 nm (exclusively stimulating the middle wavelength sensitive (M) cone opsin), obtained from light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the presence of a strong adapting light that suppressed the responses of rods.Results
Single cells responded to these diffuse stimuli in all areas of striate cortex. Two types of responsive cells were encountered. One type (135/323 – 42%) had little to no spontaneous activity and responded at either the on and/or the off phase of the light stimulus with a few impulses often of relatively large amplitude. A second type (166/323 – 51%) had spontaneous activity and responded tonically to light stimuli with impulses often of small amplitude. Most of the cells responded similarly to both spectral stimuli. A few (18/323 – 6%) responded strongly or exclusively to one or the other spectral stimulus and rarely in a spectrally opponent manner.Conclusion
Most cells in murine striate cortex receive excitatory inputs from both UV- and M-cones. A small fraction shows either strong selectivity for one or the other cone mechanism and occasionally cone opponent responses. Cells that could underlie chromatic contrast detection are present but extremely rare in murine striate cortex. 相似文献3.

In 18 out of 20 examples of the organolithium-mediated conversion of beta-alkoxy aziridines into substituted allylic sulfonamides, use of a Bus (Bus = t-BuSO2) substituent on the nitrogen gave higher yields compared to the analogous N-Ts compounds. The success with the N-Bus aziridines facilitated the development of a new route to the spirocyclic core of the histrionicotoxins and completion of a formal synthesis of (+/-)-perhydrohistrionicotoxin. 相似文献

This work describes the development and application of an on-line liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method using hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) coupled to negative ion mode electrospray ionisation ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for the analysis of highly polar carbohydrate-related metabolites commonly found in plants, ranging from reducing and non-reducing sugars and sugar alcohols to sugar phosphates. Using this method, separation and detection of a mixture of eight authentic standard compounds containing glucose (Glc), sucrose (Suc), raffinose, verbascose, mannitol, maltitol, glucose-6-phosphate (Glc6P) and trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6P) were achieved in less than 15 min. The method is rapid, robust, selective, and sensitive, with limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.2 microM obtained for neutral sugars, to 1.0 microM obtained for sugar alcohols, and 2.0 microM obtained for negatively charged sugar phosphates. We have studied the negative ion collision-induced dissociation (CID) fragmentation behaviour of the non-reducing raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose. Mainly Bi and Ci glycosidic and Ai cross-ring structurally informative cleavages are observed. We have applied this HILIC/ESI-MS method for the analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type Columbia-0 (Col-0) and its starchless phosphoglucomutase mutant (pgm1) leaf extracts. The method was used to quantify Glc, Suc, raffinose, and Glc6P in A. thaliana extracts. Data obtained using this HILIC/ESI-MS method were compared with those obtained using a comparable porous graphitic carbon-based LC/ESI-MS method. 相似文献

The synthesis and anion recognition properties of four novel [2]rotaxane host architectures containing additional alkyl functionality integrated within macrocyclic and axle components to shield the binding cavity from the solvent are described. The rotaxane species containing a tetra(methyl)-functionalised macrocycle component is found to be a weaker anion complexant than the equivalent unfunctionalised receptor, which is likely due to steric hindrance restricting the anion's access to the interlocked cavity. Rotaxane molecules containing tetra(methyl)-functionalised axle components are also investigated, and the additional alkyl functionality serves to enhance anion binding affinity and selectivity when incorporated within the axle's flexible ethylene linkages. Moreover, the equivalent unfunctionalised rotaxane displays a rare preference for oxoanions over chloride guest species. 相似文献

The Newman-Kwart rearrangement (NKR) has been re-evaluated by microwave heating. Microwave technology has proven to be ideal for investigating this high temperature rearrangement and facilitated the confirmation of many aspects of this valuable reaction. Comparisons between thermal and microwave results indicate no evidence of a significant microwave effect. 相似文献

A new three-step route to azaspirocycles involving the organolithium-mediated conversion of beta-alkoxy aziridines into substituted cyclopentenyl amines, hydroboration, and cyclization has been developed. The methodology is utilized in the construction of the pentacyclic ring system of cephalotaxine. [reaction: see text] 相似文献
