Chapter 20 Cardiovascular regulation of supraoptic vasopressin neurons

TL;DR: Using Fos immunocytochemistry in combination with volume expansion in unanesthetized rats, it is observed that volume expansion activates a number of regions in the CNS including the area postrema, the nucleus of the solitary tract, the caudal ventrolateral medulla, the paraventricular nucleus, the perinuclear zone and oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus.

Expression of c-fos protein in brain: metabolic mapping at the cellular level

TL;DR: Fos immunohistochemistry provides a cellular method to label polysynaptically activated neurons and thereby map functional pathways in response to polysynaptic activation.

A potent and selective endogenous agonist for the mu-opiate receptor.

TL;DR: The discovery and isolation from brain of a peptide, endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2), which has the highest specificity and affinity for the µ receptor of any endogenous substance so far described and they maybe natural ligands for this receptor.

The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat

TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.

The anatomy of neuropeptide-Y-containing neurons in rat brain.

TL;DR: The extremely high concentrations and widespread distribution of neuropeptide Y in the central nervous system suggests a number of important physiological roles for this neurotransmitter candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential co-existence of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity with catecholamines in the central nervous system of the rat.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that central catecholamine neurons can be subdivided into distinct sub-groups based upon the coexistence of a specific peptide.
