| Abstract | Nitric oxide (NO) is well demonstrated to act as a neuronal messenger in neurotransmission in vertebrate animals. We are for the first time reporting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the Mauthner cells (MC) of the carp, Labeo rohita brain during post-embryonic development. The NADPH-d and nNOS-positive MC were seen intensely labeled in all young stages on either side of the ventricle in the hindbrain. In adult, these cells were moderately stained with NADPH-d but not with nNOS. Further, the morphometeric analysis of the staining intensities showed the decrease in the optical densities of the MC as the development progresses. The gradual increase in cell diameter was evident from hatchling to adult (18–22 μm to 98–106 μm), while the nuclear diameter remained nearly unchanged (10–12 μm to 18–20 μm). In fishes, MC are known to be involved in the control of startle response. The NADPH-d enzymatic activity seen in the MC of early development may play an important role to activate the startle response to fast escape from the predators and unfavorable environmental conditions to survive during early phase of life. As nNOS is absent in the adult MC, we assume that the adult MC express a different splice variant of nNOS which is detected by NADPH-d, but not by the currently used antibody. Hence, the presence of nNOS (enzyme required for the synthesis of NO) in the MC suggests the involvement of NO in neurotransmission to generate the startle response rapidly. Furthermore, we also suggest that NO may be involved in other aspects such as pathway finding, neuronal cell migration, signaling and refinement during the development of the brain of L. rohita. |

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.
