Neuropeptide Y in the stria terminalis: evidence for an amygdalofugal projection

Y S Allen et al. Brain Res. .

Abstract

Lesions of the stria terminalis in the rat brain indicate that neuropeptide Y, a recently isolated peptide of the pancreatic polypeptide family, projects rostrally in an efferent pathway from the amygdaloid complex. Marked depletions of NPY-immunoreactivity observed by immunocytochemistry were apparent in the laterobasal septum and suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, but most markedly in rostrolateral regions of the bed nucleus of the strial terminalis.
