In situ hybridization allows the detection and measurement of specific messenger RNAs in individual hypothalamic neurons, and has shown, among magnocellular neurons, not only which cells express the genes for oxytocin and vasopressin but also how they change with physiological stimulation.

This study tested the hypothesis that puberty in primates is triggered by a remodeling of synaptic inputs and/or glial coverage of hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. Male rhesus monkeys were prepubertally castrated at 16 months of age and were killed and perfused either 1 mo
