Topographic organization of the projection from the forebrain subcortical areas to the hippocampal formation of the rat.

Using the technique of iontophoretic microinjection of horseradish peroxidase, the present study disclosed the complexity and high degree of the topographic organization in the forebrain subcortical afferents to the different regions of rat hippocampus, e.g. diagonal band, posterior (PH), dorsomedial and rostral lateral hypothalamic nuclei chiefly project to the rostrodorsal part (DRA) and caudal gyrus dentatus including CA3, the supramammillary area predominantly to the rostroventral area (VRA), the area lateral to PH to the DRA and VRA, substantia innominata and some thalamic nuclei (n. reuniens, n. lateralis thalami, n. anterior ventralis and n. lateralis thalami pars posterior) to the dorsal subiculum, respectively.

Immunofluorescent and biochemical studies on tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase of the bullfrog sciatic nerves.

Immunofluorescence specific for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) or dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) was accentuated in both proximal and distal segments of the sciatic nerve after ligation. Estimations of the enzyme activities confirmed the above results. Mean axoplasmic flow rates of TH and DBH in bullfrog sciatic nerve were found to be 8 and 123 mm/day, respectively. They were decreased by colchicine or by cold temperatures (4 degrees C).

Immunocytochemical localization of tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase and phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase in the adrenal glands of the frog and rat by a peroxidase-antiperoxidase method.

The subcellular localizations of tryrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) and phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) in the adrenal glands of the frog and rat have been examined by a peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method. TH was localized in the ground substance of the adrenaline-containing cells and noradrenaline-containing cells, but not in the nucleus or in the mitochondria. TH was also located on the outside of the membrane of the chromaffin granules. DBH was observed only inside the granules. PNMT was found not only in the ground substance but also on the membrane of some adrenaline-containing granules. Cortical lipid cells of the frog adrenals did not show TH-, DBH-, and PNMT-reactions. The negative reactions to TH-, DBH-, and PNMT-antiserum exhibited by the summer cells of the frog adrenals prove that they belong to the cortical cells.
