Ultrastructural localization of nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity in the cat ventrobasal complex.
This study describes the ultrastructural localization of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) immunoreactivity in the cat ventrobasal complex. NOS immunoreactivity was found in the cell bodies and dendrites of local circuit neurons and in vesicle-containing profiles. The vesicle-containing profiles could be divided into two classes, those of dendritic origin (presynaptic dendrite boutons) and those of axonal origin. The NOS labelled axon terminals varied in size and packing density and were principally located in the extra-glomerular neuropil. These boutons presented a range of morphologies and it was not possible to determine the probable source based on morphological criteria. The NOS immunoreactive presynaptic dendrite boutons were found both within and outside glomeruli and established both pre- and post-synaptic relationships withThe winners of the 2014 Hugo Awards have been announced!

The Hugo Awards have been given since 1953, and every year since 1955, by the annual World Science Fiction Convention (the “Worldcon”). The first Worldcon occurred in New York City in 1939, and Worldcons have been held annually since then, except during World War II. This year’s Worldcon, LonCon 3, was held in London, England.

Congratulations to all the 2014 winners and nominees!

1923 valid nominating ballots were received and counted from the members of LoneStarCon 3, Loncon 3 and Sasquan. (1889 Electronic and 34 Paper.)
