| Abstract | The role of the A1 and A2 noradrenergic cell groups of the caudal medulla in regulating the activity of paraventricular nucleus neurosecretory cells was examined with electrophysiological methods in anaesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. Antidromically identified neurosecretory cells were classified as vasopressin or oxytocin secreting on the basis of spontaneous firing patterns and responsivity to baroreceptor activation. The effect on cell firing of single pulses (25-200 microA) delivered to either the A1 or A2 cell group areas was then examined using peri-stimulus histograms. Stimulation of the A1 region enhanced the activity of 78% of putative vasopressin-secreting neurones tested (n = 18), but failed to affect the activity of the majority (73%) of putative oxytocin-secreting units (n = 15). A2 stimulation enhanced the firing rate of both putative vasopressin- (60%, total n = 14) and putative oxytocin-secreting (70%, total n = 27) neurones. Destruction of the paraventricular nucleus catecholamine terminal plexus by pre-treatment with the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine abolished the facilitatory effects of both A1 and A2 stimulation. These findings suggest that noradrenergic afferents of medullary origin facilitate the activity of paraventricular nucleus neurosecretory cells. The role of the projection from the A1 cell group appears to differ from that of the A2 group, however, in that its effects are specific to putative vasopressin-secreting units. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
