삼차신경주감각핵에서 치수유래 일차들신경섬유의 종말과 그에 연접하는 연접이전신경종말에 함유된 연접소포들을 형태학적으로 비교하기 위하여 신경추적자(WGA-HRP)를 흰쥐 앞니의 치수강에 주입하여 치수 유래 일차들신경종말을 표식한 후, 투과형 전자현미경을 통한 미세구조적 정량 분석을 실시하였다. 표식된 치수유래 일차들신경종말은 직경이 $45{\sim}55\;nm$인 구형의 소포를 함유하고 있었으며, 일부 직경이 $80{\sim}120\;nm$ 큰 치밀소포가 관찰되기도 하였다. 또한 표식된 신경종말은 다형성 연접소포를 함유하고 있는 연접이전신경종말과 대칭연접을 이루고 있었다. 일차들신경종말의 연접소포들은 긴 지름에 대한 짧은 지름의 비율(form factor)이 $0.6{\sim}0.99$의 분포를 보인 반면, 연접이 전신경종말의 연접소포들은 $0.25{\sim}0.99$까지 다양하게 나타났다. 또한 대부분의 연접이전신경종말은 GABA에 대한 면역양성반응을 보였다. 이상의 결과는 표식된 신경종말과 그에 연접하는 연접이전신경종말의 연접소포는 서로 다른 형태를 보이고 있으며, 또한 그 연접이전신경종말이 억제성 신경전달물질인 GABA를 함유하고 있음을 나타낸다.

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is one of the main enzymes involved in the formation and metabolism of the neurotransmitter glutamate. In the present study, we investigated the distribution of the GDH-immunoreactive cells in the rat brain using monoclonal antibodies against bovine brain GDH isoprotein. GDH-immunoreactive cell were distributed in the basal ganglia, thalamus and the nuclei belong to substantia innominata, and its connecting area, subthalamic nucleus, zona incerta, and substantia niqra. We could see GDH-immunoreactive cells in the hippocampus, septal nuclei associated with the limbic system, the anterior thalamic nuclei connecting between the hypothalamus and limbic system, and its associated structures, amygdaloid nuclear complex, the dorsal raphe and median raphe nuclei and the reticular formation of the midbrain. The GDH-immunoreactive cells were shown in the pyramidal neurons of the cerebral cortex, the Purkinie cells of the cerebella cortex, their associated structures, ventral thalamic nuclei and the reticular thalamic nuclei that seem to function as neural conduction in the thalamus.

Synaptobrevin is a kind of vesicle associated membrane proteins (VAMPs) which plays a secretary role in the neuronal synapse and was recently known as the biochemical target of botulinum neurotoxin type B. The structural gene of the synaptobrevin was cloned from mouse brain using RT-PCR technique and was seqrtenced. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that the synaptobrevin protein from mouse brain is exactly the same with that of the rat brain in the amino acid level. The synaptobrevin gene was subcloned into pET3a vector and expressed in E. coli. The molecular weight of the recombinant protein was 19 kDa as expected. Moreover, when the recombinant synaptobrevin protein was incubated with the native neurotoxin of Clostridium botulinum type B, it was cleaved by the toxin in a time dependent manner. This implies that the recombinant synaptobrevin protein and the native toxin are reacted in the same way as the native synaptobrevin did in the neuronal cells.

Electron microscopy is currently the only available technique with a spatial resolution sufficient to identify fine neuronal processes and synaptic structures in densely packed neuropil. For large-scale volume reconstruction of neuronal connectivity, serial block-face scanning electron microscopy allows us to acquire thousands of serial images in an automated fashion and reconstruct neural circuits faster by reducing the alignment task. Here we introduce the whole reconstruction procedure of synaptic network in the rat hippocampal CA1 area and discuss technical issues to be resolved for improving image quality and segmentation. Compared to the serial section transmission electron microscopy, serial block-face scanning electron microscopy produced much reliable three-dimensional data sets and accelerated reconstruction by reducing the need of alignment and distortion adjustment. This approach will generate invaluable information on organizational features of our connectomes as well as diverse neurological disorders caused by synaptic impairments.

Azheimer's Disease (AD) known as senile dementia accounts for 50％ of all dementia cases and is in growing status as population goes up. Generally. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and includes much of senile plaque in cerebral hippocampus and cortex in patient's brain. For decades. AD theory is explained by amyloid cascade hypothesis. In process of the hypothesis, amyloid hypothesis forms fibrillar form beta-amyloid peptide (A${\beta}$ peptide) and extraordinarily accumulates in brain tissue, and lastly senile plaque is formed, which pathologically affect the brain.

Biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) is a by-product produced in process of synthesizing Schizandrin-C. Generally, DDB has known to protect hepatocytes and to decrease the index of liver enzyme (e.g. GOT and GPT) in chronic hepatitis. The present study was aimed to demonstrate whether DDB can protect the brain cell, especially the Alzheimer brain in vitro. As Alzheimers disease can be induced by activated microglia, a macrophage in the brain, through Abeta peptide (A$\beta$) produced from amyloid precursor protein (APP). (omitted)
