The neurofilament architecture of the rat suprachiasmatic nucleus. 1990

The neurofilament architecture within the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the rat was analyzed immunocytochemically using neurofilament monoclonal antibodies. The topographic distribution of neurofilament containing structures was restricted mainly to the ventral and caudal part of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, coinciding with the entrance area of the retino-suprachiasmatic fibres of this nucleus. Within the nucleus itself an axonal organization was present. The axons were grouped, forming clusters. These clusters existed of a core of myelinated axons surrounded by unmyelinated axons. The myelinated/unmyelinated axon ratio could reach 1:25. Within the nucleus the myelinated axons extended upwards to the middle part of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, where the fibers of the axon clusters fanned out.

D007382 Intermediate Filaments Cytoplasmic filaments intermediate in diameter (about 10 nanometers) between the microfilaments and the microtubules. They may be composed of any of a number of different proteins and form a ring around the cell nucleus. Tonofilaments,Neurofilaments,Filament, Intermediate,Filaments, Intermediate,Intermediate Filament,Neurofilament,Tonofilament
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.
