TLDR
Descending projections from the lateral hypothalamic area to the brainstem were studied, using [3H]-amino acid autoradiography, in the rat, finding a fiber system which eventually descends the central tegmental field, projecting strongly to the dorsal raphe nucleus.

The melanin-concentrating hormone system of the rat brain: an immuno- and hybridization histochemical characterization.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ppMCH‐derived peptides may serve as neurotransmitters or modulators of prominence in a surprisingly expansive projection field of incerto‐hypothalamic neurons.

Distribution of orexin neurons in the adult rat brain.

TL;DR: A further study of the distribution of ORX-containing neurons in the adult rat brain to provide a general overview of the ORX neuronal system was conducted in this article. But, the results were limited to the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH), the regions classically implicated in feeding behavior.

Orexins, orexigenic hypothalamic peptides, interact with autonomic, neuroendocrine and neuroregulatory systems

TL;DR: The unique neuronal distribution of orexins and their functional activation of neural circuits suggest specific complex roles of the peptides in autonomic and neuroendocrine control.

Ventral tegmental (A10) system: neurobiology. 1. Anatomy and connectivity.

TL;DR: The VTA contains the A10 group of DA containing neurons, which have been grouped into nuclei to be found on the floor of the midbrain tegmentum--Npn, Nif, Npbp and Nln rostralis and caudalis and the role of the VTA as a mediator of dialogue with the frontostriatal and limbic/extrapyramidal system is discussed.

Organization of the afferent connections of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus in the rat, related to the mediodorsal-prefrontal topography

TL;DR: The results of the present experiments indicate that the mediodorsal nucleus, on the basis of its cyto-, myelo- and chemoarchitecture as well as the organization of its reciprocal connections with the prefrontal cortex, can be subdivided into a medial, a central, a lateral and a paralamellar segment.

The central adrenergic system. An immunofluorescence study of the location of cell bodies and their efferent connections in the rat utilizing dopamine‐B‐hydroxylase as a marker

TL;DR: A sensitive immunofluorescene technique was used to describe systematically the distribution of dopamine‐β‐hydroxylase (DBH)‐containing cell bodies, non‐terminal fiber pathways, and terminal fields in the brain of the male albino rat.
Journal ArticleDOI

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus: Cytoarchitectonic subdivisions and organization of projections to the pituitary, dorsal vagal complex, and spinal cord as demonstrated by retrograde fluorescence double‐labeling methods

TL;DR: The results suggest that cells projecting to the pituitary gland are concentrated in the magnocellular core of the nucleus, while the descending connections arise primarily from the surrounding parvocellular division.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunohistochemical evidence for the existence of adrenaline neurons in the rat brain

TL;DR: The hypothesis is given that the PNMT containing neurons represent A containing neurons, and that A may act as a neurotransmitter in the rat brain.

Intra- and extrahypothalamic vasopressin and oxytocin pathways in the rat

TL;DR: Perfusion of rat brain followed by immersion fixation with 2.5% glutaraldehyde-1% paraformaldehyde, purification of the first antisera and application of the unlabelled antibody enzyme method were used to specifically identify vasopressin and oxytocin containing cells and fibres.
