Single cell activity from preoptic neurons was extracellularly recorded in normal female rats and the effects of electrical stimulation of the mediocortical amygdala (AMY), the N. med. raphes (MES) and the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH) was tested. 1. One type of preoptic neurons (55%) reacted with p
We used the combined technique of steroid autoradiography and immunohistochemistry to simultaneously visualize estrogen-concentrating and substance P-immunoreactive (sP-IR) cells. A substantial proportion (26.1%) of sP-IR cells that bound estrogen was found in the anterior two thirds of the arcuate
It is becoming increasingly clear that the neuropeptide cholecystokinin (CCK), widely distributed in the rat hypothalamus and limbic system, is subject to both organizational and activational influences of steroid hormones. Sex differences in numbers of CCK-immunoreactive elements have been demonstr
Gonadal steroids exert a powerful regulatory influence upon the functioning of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons despite the apparent absence of gonadal steroid receptors in these cells. By using retrograde-tracing techniques combined with dual-labeling immunocytochemistry, we show here
