Ependymal tanycytes projecting to the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus as demonstrated by retrograde and anterograde transport of HRP.
The neural associations of the ventromedial (HVM) and lateral hypothalamic nuclei (HL) in mammals have been intensively studied in view of the role these hypo-thalamic centers are supposed to play in the neural control of ingestive behavior, besides a variety of other behavioral functions 13. A number of studies both with degeneration and intraceUular transport techniques have appeared, reporti...
متن کاملSelective labeling of spiral ganglion and granule cells with D-aspartate in the auditory system of cat and guinea pig.
The present study sought to locate putative glutamatergic or aspartatergic pathways in the auditory system of cats and guinea pigs. We injected 0.06 to 3 mM D-[3H] aspartate (D-Asp) in the cochlear nucleus before preparation for light microscopic autoradiography. At short survival times (15 and 40 min) there was heavy labeling of astrocytic somata. Labeling patterns typical of cochlear nerve en...
متن کاملForebrain origins of glutamatergic innervation to the rat paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus: differential inputs to the anterior versus posterior subregions.
The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) regulates numerous homeostatic systems and functions largely under the influence of forebrain inputs. Glutamate is a major neurotransmitter in forebrain, and glutamate neurosignaling in the PVN is known to mediate many of its functions. Previous work showed that vesicular glutamate transporters (VGluTs; specific markers for glutamatergic neurons) a...
متن کاملObesity-inducing amygdala lesions: examination of anterograde degeneration and retrograde transport.
Small lesions centered in the posterodorsal region of the medial amygdala resulted in excessive weight gains in female rats. Unilateral lesions were nearly as effective as bilateral lesions in the first 48 h after surgery (+21 to +32 g). Assessment of lesion damage was done by both qualitative evaluation and by a quantitative grid-point counting method. The critical sites for weight gain were t...
متن کاملParaventricular thalamic nucleus: subcortical connections and innervation by serotonin, orexin, and corticotropin-releasing hormone in macaque monkeys.
The present study examines subcortical connections of paraventricular thalamic nucleus (Pa) following small anterograde and retrograde tracer injections in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). An anterograde tracer injection into the dorsal midline thalamus revealed strong projections to the accumbens nucleus, basal amygdala, lateral septum, and hypothalamus. Retrograde tracer injections i...
