We investigated the nature of cGMP-synthesizing cells in the developing rat forebrain using cGMP-immunocytochemistry in combination with in vitro incubation of brain slices. When brain slices of immature rats, aged between 1 and 4 weeks, were incubated with sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous neurotransmitter that may mediate a decrease in sympathetic output to the periphery. This implication predicts that NO-producing neurons in the brain are activated in animals experiencing increased levels of sympathetic activity. To test this prediction, we subjected t
## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) and noradrenaline (NA) are suggested to be implicated in the regulation of neuropeptide secretion in the supraoptic nuclei (SON) and the paraventricular nuclei (PVN) of the hypothalamus. Our study demonstrates shortβterm interactions between NA and the activity and exp
Recently, both nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and nitric oxide (NO)-sensitive guanylyl cyclase were cloned in Manduca sexta and implicated in several cellular, developmental, and behavioral processes (Nighorn et al. [1998] J Neurosci 18:7244 -7255). However, NO is a highly diffusive gas, and little is
