The Journal of comparative neurology.J Comp Neurol.2016 Mar 1;524(4):738-58. doi: 10.1002/cne.23862. Epub 2015 Oct 8.
Neurons in the trigeminal (Mo5), facial (Mo7), ambiguus (Amb), and hypoglossal (Mo12) motor nuclei innervate jaw, facial, pharynx/larynx/esophagus, and tongue muscles, respectively. They are essential for movements subserving feeding, exploration of the environment, and social communication. These n

Neuroscience.Neuroscience.2016 Mar 1;316:367-77. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2015.12.032. Epub 2015 Dec 21.
The tectofugal pathway in birds consists of four stations, the retina, optic tectum, rotundal nucleus, and entopallium, and it conveys visual information via three ascending pathways. These pathways consist of retino-tectal, tecto-rotundal and rotundo-entopallial cells, all of which are glutamatergi

Vesicular glutamate transporters 1 and 2 (VGLUT1 and VGLUT2) have distinct distributions in the cochlear nucleus that correspond to sources of the labeled terminals. VGLUT1 is mainly associated with terminals of auditory nerve fibers, whereas VGLUT2 is mainly associated with glutamatergic terminals

Development of an anatomical technique for visualizing the mode of climbing fiber innervation in Purkinje cells and its application to mutant mice lacking GluRδ2 and Cav2.1

Anatomical Science International 86(1), 10-18, 2011-03
… Soon after the identification of type 2 vesicular glutamate transporter (VGluT2) that selectively detects CF terminals in the molecular layer, we developed a novel method of combined anterograde tracer labeling and VGluT2 immunohistochemistry. … In this review, we summarize experimental procedures for the combined tracer/VGluT2 labeling method, and then introduce what we learned with this method when applied to studies on the role of GluRδ2 and Cav2.1 in CF mono-innervation. …
