Two methods for flat-mounting cortical tissue.

Two procedures are described which allow cortical grey matter to be unfolded and flattened. Tangential sections of the flat-mounted tissue can reveal clear histological views of horizontal variations in cortical structure and function; these anatomical variations would be hard to see in sections cut by conventional techniques. Examples are presented from non-human primate tissue, but the technique has also been used successfully in a number of other mammalian species, including man. Advantages and disadvantages of the various methods for extracting topographical patterns from the cortex are discussed.

Failure of rabbit anti-Streptococcus mutans serum to penetrate in vitro plaque.

An indirect fluorescent antibody technique indicated that specific antiserums did not penetrate in vitro plaque formed by Streptococcus mutans. Specific reactions did occur between the antiserums and antigens in the surface layers of plaque globules. Measurements of plaque diameters indicated that the serums exerted a nonspecific effect of enhancing plaque growth.

Paradox in alcoholism.

This work focuses upon paradoxical aspects of alcoholism. Current information suggests that double-binding dynamics exist in alcoholism and that paradoxical life-style themes do contribute to alcoholism abuse. Emphasis in this paper is focused upon the utilization of paradoxical dynamics within a therapeutic framework. It is suggested that treatment interventions must effectively alter negative paradoxical patterns operating in the alcoholic's life-style. Recent clinical findings are cited, and therapeutic uses of paradoxical and reframing and interventions are discussed.
