The common marmoset, a New World monkey, was employed for the study of dopamine content and the metabolism in the brain. In normal control animals dopamine(DA) content was 42.7-t 3.1 in the frontal cortex, 6478+ 417 in the nucleus accumbens, 14719+ 689 in the caudate nucleus, 15992k 857 in the putamen (rig/g, mean4 S.E.M. n=7). The ratio of DA and the metabolites [ (DOPACtHVA)/DA] was 1.47rf: 0.17 in the nucleus accumbens, 0.67 f 0.07 in the caudate nucleus, 1.13+ 0.11 in the putamen in the normal control animals. In MPTP(l-methyl-Cphenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)-treated animals (10 to 15 mg/kg), DA content was 39.3 f 6.5 in the frontal cortex, 3830 + 399 in the nucleus accumbens, 423 ? 150 in the caudate nucleus, 588k 82 in the putamen (r&g, meant- S.E.M. n=4). The ratio of DA and the metabolites was 1.33+ 0.16 in the nucleus accumbens, 2.56+ 0.88 in the caudate nucleus, 5.81? 2.14 in the putarnen. MPTP trearnent reduced DA content markedly in both the caudate nucleus and the putamen, however, compensatory DA metabolic hyperactivity was induced more prominently in the putamen than in the caudate nucleus. 1315 EFFECTS OF ISCHEMIC INSULTS ASSOCIATED WITH CARDIAC ARREST ON THE HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS. mNJ1.

Axonal sprouting and synaptic reorganization play an important role in the adaptation of the CNS to injury. However,

molecular mechanisms underlying this neuronal plasticity are poorly understood. We have studied expression of a neural celI

adhesion molecule, F3 in the hippocampus of the gerbils after transient forebrain ischemia. Immunohistochemistry using F3

antibody and in siru hybridization with cRNA probes revealed that F3 expression in the hippocampal CA1 area decreased 1

day after 5 min of ischemia but it was increased 21 days after ischemic insult. Increase in F3 expression at later stage was

parallel with increased immunoreactivity of 145 kDa neurofilament which is a marker of sprouting neurites. Our results

suggest that early decrease of F3 precede delayed neuronal death in the CA1 pyramidal neurons whereas late increase in F3

protein may reflect regenerative process, including sprouting of the Schaffer collateral/ commissural axons in CA1 subfield

following ischemia.
