[Demonstration of the neurosecretory hypothalamo-rhombencephalic junction in rats by the retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase]
Abstract
The retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to demonstrate the neurosecretory hypothalamo-hindbrain connection of the rat. Following HRP injections into the region of the dorsal columns nuclei labeled cells were observed in the caudal part of the paraventricular nucleus and in the lateral hypothalmic area. Hypothalamo-hindbrain projections are predominantly uncrossed.
