Prolactin: Structure, Function, and Regulation of Secretion

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive survey of the current understanding of prolactin's function and its regulation and to expose some of the controversies still existing.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Catecholamine innervation of the basal forebrain. IV. Topography of the dopamine projection to the basal forebrain and neostriatum.

TL;DR: The topography of the DA neuron projection on the basal forebrain and neostriatum is organized in three planes, dorsal‐ventral, medial‐lateral and anterior‐posterior, consistent with the view that the DA neurons of the SN‐VTA complex form a single nuclear group with a highly topographically organized projection innervating not only deep nuclei of the telencephalon but allocortical structures as well.
Journal ArticleDOI

The glyoxylic acid fluorescence histochemical method: a detailed account of the methodology for the visualization of central catecholamine neurons.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the catecholamine fluorophores can be identified and distinguished by microspectrofluorometry from those of other fluorogenic monoamines known to occur in the vertebrate brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The opiomelanotropinergic neuronal and endocrine systems.

TL;DR: The anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of opiomelanotropinergic neurons are reviewed and the implications of multi-neurotransmitter and multi-hormone neurons and cells are discussed.

Stereotaxic mapping of the monoamine pathways in the rat brain.

TL;DR: The ascending monoamine pathways in the rat brain are demonstrated by the pile up of fluorescent material occurring in the axons after various types of lesions, indicating a unique role for the locus coeruleus in influencing the activity of the entire brain.

A detailed methodological description of the fluorescence method for the cellular demonstration of biogenic monoamines

TL;DR: A methodological description gives detailed instructions for the preparation, freeze-drying, histochemical treatment, and sectioning of tissues for fluorescence microscopy of catecholamines, 5-hydroxytryptamine and their immediate precursors.
