Caudate nucleus, glucose utilization

Fig. 14. Caudate nucleus (A), and nucleus accumbens (B), substantia nigra, pars compacta (C), and substantia nigra, pars reticulata (D). Log dose-response curves of glucose utilization folloiving the intravenous administration of apomorphine. Data are presented as means SEM. (From McCulloch et al, 198Id.)...

Fig. 25. Glucose utilization in caudate nucleus following muscimol. Upper control. Optical density, and hence glucose utilization, is relatively homogeneous throughout the caudate nucleus. Lower muscimol (1.5 mg/kg). Marked medial-lateral heterogeneity in optical density is apparent in the caudate nucleus. (Data from Kelly and McCulloch, 1981a.)...
