...The NTS and adjacent regions of the dorsal medulla are richly innervated by catecholaminecontaining neurons.(8)"(11) It has been presumed on the basis of histofluorescence that most of the catecholamine-containing fibers innervating NTS are...

...Third, the enzyme might be contained in the relatively few cell bodies of noradrenergic neurons which reside in the area of the NTS in rat.(8)"(11) The noradrenergic cell bodies are reputedly more resistant to the toxic action of the drug than are the terminals....

...It is generally believed that the major extrinsic catecholamine innervation of NTS is derived from fibers arising from the so-called A2 neuronal group lying mainly in the region of the commissural nucleus.(9)' n Since these cells can be shown by histofluorescence to contain catecholamines,(8) and by immunocytochemistry to contain DBH(9) but not phenylethanolamine iV-methyltransferase,(12) it must be assumed, therefore, that the major innervation of NTS by A2 is noradrenergic....

...Baroreceptor reflex activity was examined in unanesthetized rats by a modification of the method of Smyth et al.(18) We measured the slope of the curve describing the magnitude of the reflex bradycardia elicited in response to elevations of arterial pressure produced by graded doses of phenylephrine (Winthrop)....
