[RNA concentration in neuron-neuroglia systems of the retina and visual zones of the cerebral cortex during light deprivation and light stimulation].

A two-wave-length cytophotometry of the gallocyanin-chromium alum-stained preparations showed that in adult rats kept for 30 days in complete darkness there was a decrease in the RNA content in the perineuronal neuroglia of the retinal ganglion cell layer only, with no changes in the corresponding neurons. No changes were found in the neurons and in the perineuronal glia of the layer II---III of the visual cerebral cortex. After the end of light deprivation a 2-hour stimulation with a constant or flickering light did not influence the RNA content in the neurons of both regions of the visual analyzer studied, whereas in control rats this stimulation induced a marked increase in the RNA content in these neurons. Qualitative changes in the metabolism of the cellular RNA in the nervous system of adult animals under the effect of light deprivation are emphasized. Differences in the biochemical peculiarities of various neuron-neuroglia systems, depending on their localization in the visual analyzer, are discussed.

Précis of Neural organization: structure, function, and dynamics.

NEURAL ORGANIZATION: Structure, function, and dynamics shows how theory and experiment can supplement each other in an integrated, evolving account of the brain's structure, function, and dynamics. (1) STRUCTURE: Studies of brain function and dynamics build on and contribute to an understanding of many brain regions, the neural circuits that constitute them, and their spatial relations. We emphasize Szentágothai's modular architectonics principle, but also stress the importance of the microcomplexes of cerebellar circuitry and the lamellae of hippocampus. (2) FUNCTION: Control of eye movements, reaching and grasping, cognitive maps, and the roles of vision receive a functional decomposition in terms of schemas. Hypotheses as to how each schema is implemented through the interaction of specific brain regions provide the basis for modeling the overall function by neural networks constrained by neural data. Synthetic PET integrates modeling of primate circuitry with data from human brain imaging. (3) DYNAMICS: Dynamic system theory analyzes spatiotemporal neural phenomena, such as oscillatory and chaotic activity in both single neurons and (often synchronized) neural networks, the self-organizing development and plasticity of ordered neural structures, and learning and memory phenomena associated with synaptic modification. Rhythm generation involves multiple levels of analysis, from intrinsic cellular processes to loops involving multiple brain regions. A variety of rhythms are related to memory functions. The Précis presents a multifaceted case study of the hippocampus. We conclude with the claim that language and other cognitive processes can be fruitfully studied within the framework of neural organization that the authors have charted with John Szentágothai.
