    Description: The activity of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene hydroxylase in the rat ovary is several times higher in the proestrous phase of the estrous cycle than in the estrous and metestrous plus diestrous phases. Administration of gonadotropin leads to a similar increase in the capacity of the ovary to metabolize xenobiotics. This variation in the activity of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene hydroxylase during the estrous cycle may be related to the marked changes in the incidence of ovarian cancer during menopause and in women taking contraceptive pills.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bengtsson, M -- Rydstrom, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Mar 25;219(4591):1437-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6681915" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Animals with a history of receiving daily injections of +-amphetamine in a specific environment showed a placebo effect (enhanced activity) when injected with saline and placed there; control animals with similar but dissociated drug histories and experience with the test chamber failed to show the effect. The dopamine receptor blocker pimozide antagonized the establishment of conditioning. However, the same dose of pimozide, when given to previously conditioned animals on the placebo test day, failed to antagonize the expression of conditioned activity. Thus, during conditioning dopaminergic neurons mediated a change that subsequently influenced behavior even when dopaminergic systems were blocked. Although schizophrenia may be related to hyperfunctioning of dopamine, neuroleptic drugs, which block dopamine receptors on their first administration, do not have therapeutic effects for a number of days. The results of the pimozide experiments may resolve this paradox.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Beninger, R J -- Hahn, B L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jun 17;220(4603):1304-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6857251" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Microvoltammetric electrodes were used to monitor dopamine released in the caudate nucleus of the rat after electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle. The time resolution of the technique is sufficient to determine in vivo concentration changes on a time scale of seconds. Direct evidence identifying the substance released as dopamine was obtained both voltammetrically and pharmacologically. Administration of alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine terminates the release of dopamine, although tissue stores of dopamine are still present. Thus there appears to be a compartment for dopamine storage that is not available for immediate release. This compartment appears to be mobilized by amfonelic acid, since administration of this agent after alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine returns the concentration of dopamine released by electrical stimulation to 75 percent of the original amount.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ewing, A G -- Bigelow, J C -- Wightman, R M -- KO 4 NS000356/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jul 8;221(4606):169-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6857277" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Adenosine receptors were made visible on light microscopy by autoradiography with tritiated cyclohexyladenosine. In the cerebellum, adenosine receptors were absent in Weaver mice, which lack granule cells, and were displaced in Reeler mice, which have displacements of granule cells. Thus, adenosine receptors appear to be located on the axon terminals of excitatory granule cells in the cerebellum. Removal of one eye of a rat depleted adenosine receptors in the contralateral superior colliculus, suggesting that the receptors occur on axon terminals of excitatory projections from retinal ganglion cells. The presence of adenosine receptors on excitatory axon terminals may explain synaptic inhibition by adenosine and the behavioral effects of xanthines.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Goodman, R R -- Kuhar, M J -- Hester, L -- Snyder, S H -- DA-00266/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- MH-18501/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS-16375/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 May 27;220(4600):967-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6302841" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Long-term treatment of rats with atropine induced large increases in the numbers of muscarinic receptors and receptors for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in the salivary glands. Since receptors for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide coexist with muscarinic receptors on the same neurons in this preparation, the results suggest that a drug that alters the sensitivity of one receptor may also affect the sensitivity of the receptor for a costored transmitter and in this way contribute to the therapeutic or side effects of the drugs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hedlund, B -- Abens, J -- Bartfai, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 29;220(4596):519-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6132446" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Administration of pilocarpine or physostigmine to rats treated with lithium chloride produced sustained limbic seizures, widespread brain damage, and increased concentrations of D-myo-inositol-1-phosphate (a metabolite of the phosphoinositides, lipids involved in membrane receptor function) in the brain. The syndrome was preventable with atropine. The physostigmine doses and concentrations of blood lithium that caused the syndrome are similar to those considered appropriate for psychiatric chemotherapy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Honchar, M P -- Olney, J W -- Sherman, W R -- MH-14677/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH-38894/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS-05159/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 15;220(4594):323-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6301005" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Intracisternal injection of ovine corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) into the pylorus-ligated rat or the rat with gastric fistula resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of gastric secretion stimulated with pentagastrin or thyrotropin-releasing hormone. When injected into the lateral hypothalamus--but not when injected into the cerebral cortex--CRF suppressed pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion. The inhibitory effect of CRF was blocked by vagotomy and adrenalectomy but not by hypophysectomy or naloxone treatment. These results indicate that CRF acts within the brain to inhibit gastric acid secretion through vagal and adrenal mechanisms and not through hypophysiotropic effects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tache, Y -- Goto, Y -- Gunion, M W -- Vale, W -- River, J -- Brown, M -- AM30110/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Nov 25;222(4626):935-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6415815" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Intracerebroventricular administration of ILA's, a preparation enriched in insulin-like growth factors, caused a marked decrease in growth hormone secretory episodes and in body weight associated with reduced food intake over 24 hours. Central injection of insulin and bovine serum albumin had no such effects.

    Description: Administration of dexamethasone significantly enhanced the pituitary growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing factor in intact as well as adrenalectomized rats.

    Description: From birth to day 21, rat offspring received daily injections of naltrexone at a dosage that blocked morphine-induced analgesia 24 hours a day. At 21 days, body, brain, and cerebellar weights of naltrexone-injected animals were 18, 11, and 5 percent greater than corresponding control weights. In addition, morphometric analysis of the cerebrum revealed a somatosensory cortex that was 18 percent thicker than that of the controls. The cerebellum of naltrexone-treated rats was 41 percent larger in total area and contained at least 70 percent more glial cells and 30 percent more granule neurons. Neurons derived prenatally were unaffected by drug treatment. These results show that naltrexone can stimulate body and brain growth in rats and suggest a role for the endorphin and opiate receptor system in development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zagon, I S -- McLaughlin, P J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 16;221(4616):1179-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6612331" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tritiated acetylcholine was used to measure binding sites with characteristics of nicotinic cholinergic receptors in rat brain. Regulation of the binding sites in vivo was examined by administering two drugs that stimulate nicotinic receptors directly or indirectly. After 10 days of exposure to the cholinesterase inhibitor diisopropyl fluorophosphate, binding of tritiated acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex was decreased. However, after repeated administration of nicotine for 10 days, binding of tritiated acetylcholine in the cortex was increased. Saturation analysis of tritiated acetylcholine binding in the cortices of rats treated with diisopropyl fluorophosphate or nicotine indicated that the number of binding sites decreased and increased, respectively, while the affinity of the sites was unaltered.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schwartz, R D -- Kellar, K J -- 507 RR05360-20/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- GM07443/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 8;220(4593):214-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6828889" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A twofold thickening of capillary basement membranes of rat retinas resulting from dietary galactose was prevented by sorbinil, an inhibitor of aldose reductase. Since the basement membrane thickening was ultrastructurally similar to that typical of diabetic retinopathy, it may indicate changes in vessel permeability and susceptibility to hemorrhage. Galactosemic rats should be useful models for studying basement membrane-related complications of diabetes and for examining the potential biochemical regulation of basement membrane synthesis by aldose reductase inhibitors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Robison, W G Jr -- Kador, P F -- Kinoshita, J H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 16;221(4616):1177-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6612330" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Studies were conducted to assess whether basal ganglia output neurons originating in the substantia nigra pars reticulata might be affected by dopamine released from dendrites of neighboring substantia nigra pars compacta neurons. Dopamine applied by iontophoresis increased the baseline firing rates of approximately half of the substantia nigra pars reticulata cells tested. The more significant finding, unrelated to the increase in firing, was the ability of dopamine to attenuate the inhibitory responses of these cells to iontophoretically applied gamma-aminobutyric acid. These findings suggest a role for dopamine as a neuromodulator and further suggest that it can act at sites beyond the striatum to modify transmission from the basal ganglia to motor nuclei.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waszcak, B L -- Walters, J R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 8;220(4593):218-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6828891" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: After administration of tyrosine, total concentration of biopterin, the cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase, was increased in the striatum, adrenal glands, and serum of rats, and in the serum of humans. Serum biopterin is lower in patients with Parkinson's disease than in normal controls. After oral administration of tyrosine, the increase in serum biopterin concentration was smaller in patients with Parkinson's disease (less than twofold) than in healthy controls (three-to sevenfold). These results suggest that tyrosine may have a regulatory role in biopterin biosynthesis and that patients with Parkinson's disease may have some abnormality in the regulation of biopterin biosynthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yamaguchi, T -- Nagatsu, T -- Sugimoto, T -- Matsuura, S -- Kondo, T -- Iizuka, R -- Narabayashi, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jan 7;219(4580):75-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6849120" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transplantation of embryonic substantia nigra into the adult rat brain decreases the motor asymmetry that is produced by dopamine receptor supersensitivity after a unilateral lesion of the substantia nigra. The authors report that this effect of transplantation is specific to grafts of substantia nigra. They also report that, in conjunction with the decrease in motor asymmetry, these grafts cause postsynaptic dopaminergic binding sites to return to normal density as measured by tritiated spiroperidol autoradiography. Thus, in animals with brain lesions, grafts of substantia nigra produce a long-term alteration in the functional status of host brain cell receptors that is associated with a reduction in the behavioral deficit.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Freed, W J -- Ko, G N -- Niehoff, D L -- Kuhar, M J -- Hoffer, B J -- Olson, L -- Cannon-Spoor, H E -- Morihisa, J M -- Wyatt, R J -- MH-00289/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH-25951/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS-09199/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Nov 25;222(4626):937-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6635666" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Autoradiography with 3H-labeled phorbol dibutyrate was used for the light microscopic detection of phorbol ester receptors in rat fetuses. In 15- and 18-day fetuses, as well as in adult rats, receptors were found to be concentrated in the central nervous system. The localization of receptors in the ventral marginal zone of the fetal neural tube, the lens of the eye, and other sites suggests a role for phorbol ester receptors in cellular process extension and cell-cell interaction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Murphy, K M -- Gould, R J -- Oster-Granite, M L -- Gearhart, J D -- Snyder, S H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Dec 2;222(4627):1036-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6316499" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Ethyl alcohol produced graded contractile responses in rat cerebral arterioles and venules in vivo and in isolated canine basilar and middle cerebral arteries at a concentration range (10 to 500 milligrams per deciliter) which parallels that needed for its graded effects of euphoria, mental haziness, muscular incoordination, stupor, and coma in humans. Two specific calcium antagonists, nimodipine and verapamil, prevented or reversed the alcohol-induced cerebrovasospasm and thus may prove valuable in treating the hypertension and stroke observed in heavy users of alcohol.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Altura, B M -- Altura, B T -- Gebrewold, A -- DA02339/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- HL29600/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 15;220(4594):331-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6836278" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Plasma obtained from human subjects after exercise and injected intraperitoneally into rats elevated rat rectal temperature and depressed plasma iron and zinc concentrations. The pyrogenic component was heat-denaturable and had an apparent molecular weight of 14,000 daltons. Human mononuclear leukocytes obtained after exercise and incubated in vitro released a factor into the medium that also elevated body temperature in rats and reduced trace metal concentrations. These results suggest that endogenous pyrogen, a protein mediator of fever and trace metal metabolism during infection, is released during exercise.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cannon, J G -- Kluger, M J -- AI 13878/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 May 6;220(4597):617-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6836306" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Local cerebral blood flow was measured in rats by the 14C-labeled iodoantipyrine technique with quantitative autoradiography during the processing of environmental stimuli. Presentation of a tone increased blood flow in the auditory but not the visual pathway. When the animal had previously been conditioned to fear the tone, blood flow additionally increased in the hypothalamus and amygdala. Local cerebral blood flow can thus be used to detect patterns of cerebral excitation associated with transient (30- to 40-second) mental events in experimental animals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉LeDoux, J E -- Thompson, M E -- Iadecola, C -- Tucker, L W -- Reis, D J -- HL 18974/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Aug 5;221(4610):576-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6867731" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Hepatic porphyrias are disorders of heme synthesis characterized by genetically determined lesions of one of the key enzymes of heme synthesis. In carriers of such lesions, several factors (drugs, environmental chemicals, or diet) precipitate acute and often fatal attacks of neurologic dysfunction, which are promptly relieved by intravenous infusion of heme. However, the mechanism of such heme-induced amelioration remains elusive. To probe this mechanism, the biochemical events triggered by acute hepatic heme deficiency were examined in an animal model of chemically induced porphyria. Acute hepatic heme depletion in porphyric rats was found to impair hepatic tryptophan pyrrolase activity which, in turn, elevated tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptamine turnover in the brain. These alterations in porphyric rats were dramatically reversed by parenteral heme administration. These findings suggest that increased tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the nervous system may be responsible for the neurologic dysfunctions observed in humans with acute attacks of hepatic porphyria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Litman, D A -- Correia, M A -- AM-26506/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- AM-26743/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Dec 2;222(4627):1031-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6648517" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

Fetal brains showed high 2DG uptake spread throughout the accessory olfactory bulb and little or no differential uptake in the main olfactory bulb.

    Description: Insulin administered to rats reliably elicits ingestion of food. To determine whether the neural mechanisms sufficient to control insulin-elicited ingestion are located in or caudal to the forebrain, decerebrate rats were treated with insulin and ingestive responses were measured. Insulin treatment produced hypoglycemia that was comparable, in magnitude and duration, in control and decerebrate rats. Decerebrate and control rats ingested significantly more sucrose solution while hypoglycemic than while normoglycemic. In contrast, insulin did not augment the water consumption of either group. These data indicate that neural systems caudal to the forebrain are sufficient to control ingestive consummatory behavior through the integration of metabolic signals generated by insulin treatment and taste afferent input from the oropharynx.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Flynn, F W -- Grill, H J -- AM 21397/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- T32-MH15012/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jul 8;221(4606):188-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6344221" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The response was dose-dependent and involved a decrease in the maximum effect of veratridine on uptake.

    Description: In the house mouse (Mus musculus), fetuses may develop in utero next to siblings of the same or opposite sex. The amniotic fluid of the female fetuses contains higher concentrations of estradiol than that of male fetuses. Male fetuses that developed in utero between female fetuses had higher concentrations of estradiol in their amniotic fluid than males that were located between other male fetuses during intrauterine development. They were also more sexually active as adults, less aggressive, and had smaller seminal vesicles than males that had developed between other male fetuses in utero. These findings raise the possibility that during fetal life circulating estrogens may interact with circulating androgens both in regulating the development of sex differences between males and females and in producing variation in phenotype among males and among females.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉vom Saal, F S -- Grant, W M -- McMullen, C W -- Laves, K S -- MH35079/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- RR07053/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jun 17;220(4603):1306-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6857252" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A syndrome of spontaneous orofacial dyskinesia was identified in groups of rats treated for 6 months with a wide range of neuroleptic drugs. Phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, and substituted benzamides were particularly likely to induce the syndrome. It was observed in the presence of a functional blockade of dopamine receptors and endured for at least 2.5 months after drug withdrawal. There was no relation between the syndrome and changes in striatal dopamine receptors, as indexed by the binding of tritiated spiperone and tritiated cis(Z)-flupenthixol. The syndrome parallels several of the features of clinical tardive dyskinesia, whose pathophysiology thus may not involve changes in the characteristics of striatal dopamine receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waddington, J L -- Cross, A J -- Gamble, S J -- Bourne, R C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 29;220(4596):530-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6132447" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Prolonged treatment with classical antipsychotic drugs decreased the number of spontaneously active dopamine neurons in both the substantia nigra (A9) and the ventral tegmental area (A10) of the rat brain. In contrast, treatment with atypical antipsychotic drugs selectively decreased the number of A10 dopamine neurons. Related drugs lacking antipsychotic efficacy failed to decrease dopamine activity. These findings suggest that the inability of atypical antipsychotic drugs to decrease A9 dopamine neuronal activity may be related to their lower potential for causing tardive dyskinesia and that the inactivation of A10 neurons may be involved in the delayed onset of therapeutic effects during treatment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉White, F J -- Wang, R Y -- MH 00378/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH-34424/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 9;221(4615):1054-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6136093" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto In questo lavoro si tratta il problema dell’ottimizzazione di sistemi di sensori gradiometrici metrici superconduttori di secondo ordine che sono stati progettati per la misurazione di campi magnetici deboli disomogenei in un ambiente disturbato magneticamente. Si considerano le condizioni di massimo rapporto segnale-rumore dell’uscita del quantomagnetometro superconduttote (SQM). Si analizza l’influenza dei parametri misurati della sorgente del segnale, del rumore di una sorgente di disturbo esterna e di quello proprio del magnetometro sulla selezione della lunghezza di base del gradiometro.
    Notes: Summary In this paper we deal with an optimization problem of the second-order superconducting gradiometric sensor systems that have been designed for measurement of the weak inhomogeneous magnetic fields in a magnetically disturbed environment. The conditions of maximum signalto-noise ratio of the output of superconducting quantum magnetometers (SQM) are considered. The influence of measured signal source parameters, of an outside disturbing source and of the own noise of the magnetometer on the gradiometer base length selection is analysed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono state esaminate l’idealità e la sensibilità di parecchi conduttori magnetocardiografici vettoriali usando un modello inomogeneo fisico del tronco. Si è trovato che la componente antero-posterioreX vettore magnetico del cuore è la piú facile da scoprire. Si suggeriscono conduttori ideali per le altre due componenti. Comunque questi hanno una sensibilità inferiore. Le differenze rispetto ai risultati di precedenti ricercatori sono state spiegate con le differenze tra i modelli.
    Notes: Summary The ideality and sensitivity of several vector magnetocardiographic leads were tested by using an inhomogeneous, physical torso model. The postero-anterior component of the heart’s magnetic vector was found easiest to detect. New, more ideal leads for the other two components are suggested. However, these have lower sensitivity. The differences from the results of former investigators can be explained by the differences of the models.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Si è studiato lo spettro del rumore di un gradiometro superconduttore a derivata secon da in un agglomerato urbano. I dati sono stati ottenuti dal gradiometro con tre accelerometri ortogonali e un magnetometro a flussometro elettronico triassiale attaccato al dewar. Questi dati sono stati analizzati usando tecniche di elaborazione dei segnali, soprattutto un cancellatore adattativo di rumori, per ridurre i rumori nei dati del gradiometro. I risultati mostrano qui che il rumore dell’esterno e/o il rumore del movimento del dewar possono essere ridotti di 40 dB in potenza di rumore. Si è anche mostrato che, nel caso di basso rapporto segnale-rumore (S/N∼1), può essere estratta un’onda sunusoidale di 10 Hz. Questa tecnica non solo promette riduzione dei rumori, ma ha anche lo scopo d’identificare i segnali di rumore che potrebbero essere veramente considerati parte del responso evocato. L’analisi dei dati che contengono i responsi evocati è ora in corso.
    Notes: Summary The noise spectrum of a superconducting second-derivative gradiometer has been investigated in an urban environment. Data have been acquired from the gradiometer with three orthogonal accelerometers and a triaxial fluxgate magnetometer attached to the dewar. These data have been analyzed by using signal processing techniques, primarily an adaptive noise canceller, to reduce noise in the gradiometer data. Results shown here indicate that the environmental noise and/or the dewar motion noise can be reduced as much as 40 dB in noise power. It is also shown, in the case of poor signal-to-noise ratio (S/N∼1), that a 10 Hz sine wave can be extracted. This technique not only shows promise for noise reduction, but also aids in the identification of noise signals which might be misconstrued as part of the evoked response. Analysis of data containing evoked response is now underway.

Secondo un principio di reciprocità queste disposizioni, quando usate come sensori in magnetometri ad induzione e SQUID, hanno una sensibilità intrinsecamento bassa per sorgenti distanti del campo magnetico.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Particelle ferromagnetiche immesse per via intratracheale nei polmoni sono fagocitate da macrofagi alveolari. Dopo che queste particelle sono state magnetizzate dal campo esterno, esse producono un campo residuo che decade rapidamente a causa del disallineamento delle particelle dovuto al movimento citoplasmatico (rilassamento). I cambiamenti nel valore di rilassamento nel tempo successivo all’immissione potrebbero essere connessi alla mobilità citoplasmatica.
    Notes: Summary Ferrimagnetic particles instilled intratracheally into the lungs are phagocytized by alveolar macrophages. After these particles are magnetized by an external field, they produce a remanent field which decays rapidly due to particle misalignment from cytoplasmic motion (relaxation). Changes in relaxation rate with time following instillation might be related to cytoplasmic motility.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto L'attività del sistema di His-Purkinje è stata misurata magneticamente usando un magnetometro SQUID nella camera schermata magneticamente di Berlino (BMSR) e usando in aggiunta filtraggio (banda passante da 0.5 Hz a 300 Hz) e tecniche di mediazione. La camera riduce il livello di rumore di fondo a meno di 4 $$4{{fT} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{fT} {\sqrt {Hz} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {Hz} }}$$ nella regione a spettro bianco. All'interno dell'intervalloPR è stata osservata una struttura a rampa, la cui pendenza cambia segno attraversando la linea mediana del cuore. In aggiunta, sono stati registrati segnali ben definiti approssimativemente 40 ms prima dell'inizio dell'attivazione ventricolare.

Берлинская магнитно экранированная комната уменьшает уровень фонового шума до величины $$4{{fT} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{fT} {\sqrt {Hz} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {Hz} }}$$ в области белого шума. ВнутриPR интервла наблюдается диаграмма с уклоном, причем величина ыклона меняется при пересечении медианной линии сердца. Кроме того, ориблизительно за 40 мс до наступления активности желудочка регистрируются определенные сигналы.
    Notes: Summary The activity of the His-Purkinje system (HPS) in man has been measured magnetically with a SQUID magnetometer in the Berlin magnetically shielded room (BMSR) by using in addition band pass filtering (band width 0.5 Hz to 300 Hz) and averaging. The BMSR reduces the background noise level to less than $$4{{fT} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{fT} {\sqrt {Hz} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {Hz} }}$$ in the region of white noise. Within thePR interval a ramp pattern was observed, changing its slope when crossing the median line of the heart. In addition, definite signals were recorded approximately 40 ms before the onset of ventricular activation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto La motivazione fondamentale per lo studio dei fenomeni elettrofisiologici cardiaci tramite il metodo biomagnetico è dovuta al fatto che questa tecnica offre un’alta risoluzione spaziale e sembra fornire informazioni complementari rispetto alle sole registrazioni elettriche. Fino ad oggi l’interesse degli studiosi si è concentrato su due differenti fenomeni cardiaci: 1) lo studio dell’attività del sistema di conduzione atrioventricolare e 2) lo studio della depolarizzazione ventricolare anormalmente ritardata (late potentials). L’interesse clinico per lo studio non invasivo del sistema di His-Purkinje (HPS) è ben noto. Registrazioni cliniche non invasive di late potentials sono particolarmente desiderabili in quanto possono essere preziosi indicatori di rischio di morte improvvisa. In questo lavoro si presenta una rassegna sullo stato delle ricerche in entrambi i campi d’indagine.
    Notes: Summary The fundamental motivation for investigating cardiac electrophysiological phenomena by means of the biomagnetic method has been that this technique should have added spatial resolution and provided complementary information as opposed to electric recordings only. So far the interest of experimentalists has been concentrated on two different kinds of cardiac phenomena: 1) the study of the activity of the cardiac conduction system and 2) of abnormally delayed ventricular depolarization (late potentials). The clinical interest for the noninvasive investigation of the His-Purkinje system (HPS) is well known. Noninvasive clinical recording of late potentials is particularly desirable as they seem to be precious markers for risk of sudden death. A review of the state of research in both fields is presented in this paper.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Ein dal 1980 è iniziato uno studio sistematico dell’attività del sistema di His-Purkjnje (HPS) su soggetti normali e patologici con il metodo biomagnetico. Allo scopo di risolvere il problema di quanta parte dei segnali misurati sia attribuibile al sistema di His-Purkinje e quanta piuttosto alla ripolarizzazione atriale, è stata recentemente sviluppata una strumentazione appositamente disegnata per misure sul HPS e con una sensibilità di $$20fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ nella banda di frequenze interessanti ((0.5÷300) Hz). Al contempo si è altresí sviluppato un nuovo modello teorico in stretta corrispondenza con le caratteristiche anatomiche del HPS che fornisce una distribuzione di campo magnetico sul torace in buon accordo qualitativo con i risultati sperimentali.
    Notes: Summary Since 1980, systematic investigations of the activity of the His-Purkinje system (HPS) by the biomagnetic method have been reported on both normal subjects and patients affected by different kinds of conduction disturbances. A first attempt to interpret the experimental results by means of a theoretical model satisfactorily accounted for the measured «ramp» patterns. Moreover, a good temporal coincidence was observed between magnetic signals and invasively recorded His bundle electrograms (HBE). An alternative explanation of the «ramp» pattern, in terms of atrial repolarization, has been recently proposed on the basis of animal experimental investigation. In order to try to solve this problem, we have carried out a twofold approach: a new second-order gradiometer, specifically designed for HPS activity investigation has been successfully set up and tested; it provides a sensitivity of $$20fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ in the band width of interest ((0.5÷300) Hz). Second, a new model based on a closer correspondence to anatomical features of the HPS has been developed. This model provides well-defined patterns which are in quite good agreement with experimental results.

I risultati mostrano che entrambi i componenti magnetici sono localizzati nella corteccia occipitale superficiale tangenziale al cuoio capelluto. La distribuzione diM120 suggerisce che i generatori dei componenti elettrici e magnetici sono correlati, ma il campo magnetico elettrico registrato è una modificazione elaborata di quello prodotto dalla sorgente.
    Notes: Summary Corresponding electrical and magnetic components of the brain’s visual evoked response peaking at 120 and 180 ms poststimulus are examined. Results show that both magnetic components are localized in the superficial occipital cortex tangential to the scalp. The distribution ofM120 suggests that the generators for the electrical and magnetic components are related, but the electrical field recorded is an elaborate modification of that produced by the source.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto In questo lavoro si presentano alcuni tentativi di considerazioni modello, basati sul concetto di dipolo di corrente equivalente per tener conto delle risposte sonore stimolate osservate, con lo scopo di tentare un confronto delle variazioni in ampiezza e latenza con calcoli basati sul modello di nervo altamente semplificato di Rall. Si presenta un’analisi fenomenologica dei dati sperimentali sul campo magnetico sonoro tardo evocato dalla corteccia uditiva umana. Qui si pone l’accento sulle relazioni tra le proprietà del segnale (per esempio, ampiezza e latenza) e tra le proprietà del segnale e le proprietà dello stimolo (per esempio, ampiezza/latenza e frequenza in discesa relativa Δf/f per uno stimolo con frequenza in discesa) piuttosto che su problemi correlati con la posizione del dipolo di corrente equivalente, per esempio l’organizzazione tonotopica discussa da Elberlinget al. e Romaniet al. Si presentano alcuni risultati di un calcolo numerico basato su un modello a cavo lineare e li si confronta con i risultati sperimentali.
    Notes: Summary In this paper we present some tentative model considerations, based on the concept of an equivalent current dipole to account for observed auditory evoked responses, with the aim of attempting a comparison of variations in amplitude and latency with calculations based on Rall’s greatly simplified nerve model. A phenomenological analysis of experimental data on the late, auditory evoked magnetic field from the human auditory cortex is presented. The emphasis is here placed on relations between signal properties (e.g. amplitude and latency) and between signal properties and stimulus properties (e.g. amplitude/latency and relative frequency glide Δf/f for a frequency glide stimulus) rather than on questions related to the location of the equivalent current dipole,e.g. the tonotopic organization discussed by Elberlinget al. and by Romaniet al.. Some results of a numerical calculation based on a linear-cable model are presented and compared with experimental results.

L’attività a livello delle cortecce uditive, 2.6 cm al di sotto della calotta cranica, spiega la distribuzione di campo osservata $$\overline {N100m}$$ . Un’ulteriore sorgente di corrente vicino al vertice è necessaria per spiegare le corrispondenti distribuzioni di potenziale. La posizione delle sorgenti di corrente di $$\overline {N100m}$$ non ha mostrato alcuna dipendenza sistematica dalla frequenza tonale.
    Notes: Summary The sources of auditory evoked electric and magnetic responses were modelled with multiple current dipoles. The activity at the auditory cortices, 2.6 cm beneath the skull, explains the observed $$\overline {N100m}$$ field distribution. An additional current source near the vertex is needed to explain the corresponding potential distributions. The locations of the current sources of $$\overline {N100m}$$ did not show any systematic dependence on the tonal frequency.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono stati registrati campi magnetici uditivi indotti (AEF) e potenziali uditivi indotti EEG (AEP) dalle regioni corticali uditive destra e sinistra di 12 soggetti normali adulti. Il sensore magnetico era un gradiometro SQUID a forma di otto con una linea di base di 4 cm orientato in modo da essere massimamente sensibile a un dipolo di corrente orientato perpendicolarmente alla fissure di Sylvio. Gli stimoli erano impulsi sonori di 1 kHz, lunghi 100 ms con un intervallo modale tra stimoli di 700 ms emessi a livelli di pressione sonora di 40, 60, 80 e 100 dB. Si è trovato che l’ampiezza AEF è correlata all’intensità dello stimolo in modo quadratico, l’ampiezza AEP in modo, lineare. Gli AEF erano di ampiezza maggiore in risposta alla stimolazione contralaterale che in risposta alla stimolazione ipsilaterale. Gli AEP non presentano questa relazione. In un secondo esperimento gli AEF e AEP dell’emisfero destro in risposta al tono di stimolazione nell’orecchio controlaterale in questi 12 soggetti sono stati combinati con dati simili precedenti su 24 soggetti, ottenendo cosí un totale di 36 soggetti, per esaminare la comparabilità della forma dell’onadaP50 di AEP e dell’analogaP50 di AEF. Si è trovato che la latenza dellaP50 decrese in funzione dell’intensità crescente dello stimolo sia per AEF che per AEP, e che la latenza diP50 è decisamente inferiore nelle registrazioni magnetiche rispetto alle registrazioni del potenziale.
    Notes: Summary Auditory evoked magnetic fields (AEFs) and EEG auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) were recorded from left and right auditory cortical regions of 12 normal adult subjects. The magnetic sensor was a figure-eight SQUID gradiometer with a 4 cm baseline oriented so as to be maximally sensitive to a current dipole oriented normal to the Sylvian fissure. Stimuli were 100 ms long 1 kHz tone pips with a modal interstimulus interval of 700 ms delivered at sound pressure levels of 40, 60, 80 and 100 dB. AEF amplitude was found to be related to stimulus intensity in a quadratic fashion, AEP amplitude in a linear fashion. AEFs were of larger amplitude in response to contralateral as compared to ipsilateral stimulation. AEPs did not exhibit such a relationship. In a second experiment right-hemisphere AEFs and AEPs in response to contralateral ear tone stimulation in these 12 subjects were combined with similar previous data from 24 subjects, providing a total of 36 subjects, to examine the comparability of the AEPP50 wave form and the AEFP50 analog. The latency of theP50 was found to decrease as a function of increasing stimulus intensity for both AEFs and AEPs, and theP50 latency was consistently shorter in magnetic compared to potential recordings.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Uno studio sull’attività spontanea del cervello in soggetti normali è stato eseguito con il metodo neuromagnetico. Sono stati usate 2 diverse strumentazioni per le misure magnetiche. Ambedue usavano gradiometri di second’ordine disegnati specificatamente per gli studi sul cervello: 2.9 cm di diametro, 5 cm di baseline. Uno SQUID r.f. e uno SQUID d.c. erano accoppiati ai gradiometri. I livelli di rumore misurati sono stati rispettivamente di $$40fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ e $$25fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ . In alcuni soggetti sono state effettuate mappe di campi magnetici generati dall’attività spontanea del cervello. Le mappe dell’ampiezza media dei segnali del ritmo α hanno mostrato 2 massimi dell’attività su 2 regioni simmetriche dello scalpo. Comunque, malgrado una generale simmetria fra gli emisferi, la complessità delle mappe misurate suggerisce una corrispondente complessità dei generatori responsabili dell’attività α.
    Notes: Summary An investigation of the spontaneous brain activity from normal subjects has been carried out by means of the neuromagnetic method. Two different systems were used for magnetic measurements. Both used 2nd-order gradiometers specifically designed for brain studies: 2.9 cm diameter, 5 cm baseline. A r.f. SQUID and a d.c. SQUID were coupled to the gradiometers. The measured noise levels are $$40fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ and $$25fT/\sqrt {Hz}$$ , respectively. Thorough magnetic mapping of the spontaneous activity was performed on a few subjects. By mapping the average amplitude of the α-rhythm signals two maxima of activity over two symmetric regions of the scalp were clearly observed. Despite a general symmetry between hemispheres, however, the complexity of the measured maps suggests a corresponding complexity of the generators responsible for α-activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Finora la magnetoencefalografia spontanea (MEG) in soggetti normali e patologici non è stata investigata a fondo. Si conoscono pochissimi contributi in questo campo. A parte il lavoro del gruppo di biomagnetismo di Roma, il solo contributo clinico finora è stato quello di Hughes e collaboratori che era abbastanza limitato nel numero e nella scelta dei soggetti studiati. La nostra esperienza condotta fin dal 1980 su un gran numero di casi (principalmente epilessie focali) mostra che il MEG può evidenziare attività significative anche se non sono presenti anormalità EEG; esso ha inoltre una risoluzione spaziale maggiore rispetto all’EEG. I foci epilettici mostrano un’area limitata di attività massima. Finora non è stata osservata nessuna evidenza sperimentale di una differente distribuzione delle ampiezze del campo sullo scalpo. La risoluzione spaziale del MEG riguarda anche la possibilità di risolvere la morfologia dei segnali EEG (per esempio onde aguzze EEG risolte in gruppi di spikes dal MEG) o di separare topograficamente le anormalità EEG mescolate e non ben localizzate (per esempio, attività delta ed epilettiche mescolate nell’EEG e discriminate nel MEG). I migliori risultati si osservano quando la localizzazione è nella corteccia esterna. Dopo una descrizione del materiale studiato, si sottolinea l’importanza dei risultati ottenuti per la prima volta in casi di epilessie focali.
    Notes: Summary So far spontaneous magnetoencephalography (MEG) in normal and pathological subjects has not been deeply investigated. Very few contributions in this field are available. Aside from the work of the Rome biomagnetic group in this field, the only clinical contribution up to now has been that of Hughes and co-workers which was rather limited in the number and in the selection of subjects investigated. Our experience, carried out since 1980 on a large number of cases—mainly focal epilepsies— shows that the MEG may evidence significant activities even if EEG abnormalities are not present and has a higher spatial resolution with respect to the EEG. Epileptic foci show a limited area of maximal activity. So far no experimental evidence of a different distribution of field amplitude over the scalp has been observed. The spatial resolution of the MEG also regards the possibility of resolving the morphology of EEG signals (for instance, EEG sharp waves resolved into groups of spikes by MEG) or topographically separate EEG abnormalities mixed up and not well localized (for instance, delta and epileptic activities mixed up in the EEG, but differently in the MEG). The best results are observed when the localization is in the outer cortex. After a description of the material studied, the importance of the results obtained for the first time in cases of focal epilepsies is outlined.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Durante l’ultimo anno gli autori hanno condotto una ricerca sistematica su un gran numero di soggetti patologici registrando simultaneamente l’EEG e il MEG. La presente versione del nostro apparato sperimentale permette di effettuare misure MEG con un solo sensore magnetico, impedendo la rilevazione simultanea di attività MEG su punti differenti della testa. Ciò ha condotto gli autori a concentrarsi sulle epilessie focali. Fin dalle prime misure il sensore magnetico ha dimostrato un notevole potere localizzante, rafforzando l’interesse per la localizzazione in casi patologici. In questo lavoro si riportano risultati che sembrano confermare la straordìnaria capacità delle misure MEG nel localizzare sorgenti di attività cerebrali patologiche in casi di epilessie focali.
    Notes: Summary During the last year the authors have been carrying out a systematic investigation on a large number of pathological subjects simultaneously recording the EEG and the MEG. The present version of our experimental apparatus allows MEG measurements with only one magnetic detector, thus preventing the detection of simultaneous MEG activities over different points of the head. This has led the authors to concentrate upon focal epilepsies. Since the first measurements a remarkable localizing power was shown by the magnetic detector, thus strengthening the interest in pathological localization. In this contribution we report results which seem to confirm the extraordinary capability of MEG measurements to localize sources of pathological brain activities in cases of focal epilepsies.
