Thus the asymmetry (AS) is the generic property. Since nervous systems are representable by graphs or better with special digraphs, the networks, it follows that the brains are asymmetric in a strong sense according to which all cells are distinguishable from each other alone by their internal connections. Such a consequence holds perfectly only if a random evolution or generation of neural networks is supposed. Thus apparent symmetries have to come from heavily controlled (i.e. non random) ontogenetic processes. At the present time the possible total cellular heterogeneity of the various nervous systems has still unclear functional implications. In small nervous systems the odd number of neurons alone is neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition of the asymmetry in the outlined sense.</p>","PeriodicalId":77479,"journal":{"name":"Acta biochimica et biophysica Hungarica","volume":"26 1-4","pages":"105-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13005957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is presumed that this agonist acts on both pre- and postsynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors. To determine whether the central postsynaptic receptors are involved in the anesthetic interactions between these drugs, rats were treated with DSP-4 to deplete endogenous norepinephrine. Loss of the righting reflex was used to determine the presence of anesthesia and the duration of hypnosis. Chronic treatment with verapamil (1 or 5 mg/kg) significantly increased the duration of the hypnotic-anesthetic effect of dexmedetomidine. Neither acute treatment with verapamil nor the calcium channel agonist BAY K 8644 (0.5 or 1 mg/kg) influenced the dexmedetomidine-induced hypnosis after DSP-4 treatment. The results seem to support the idea that the hypnotic action of dexmedetomidine can be affected via modulation of the transmembraneous calcium movement in the central nervous system. Further, the data on catecholamine-depleted rats with DSP-4 suggest that the interactions between verapamil and dexmedetomidine may be mediated through presynaptic or homoreceptors on noradrenergic neurons.</p>","PeriodicalId":77479,"journal":{"name":"Acta biochimica et biophysica Hungarica","volume":"26 1-4","pages":"75-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12853603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
