  • Title: Retinal fibers make synaptic contact with neuropeptide Y and enkephalin immunoreactive neurons in the intergeniculate leaflet of the rat.
    Author: Takatsuji K, Miguel-Hidalgo JJ, Tohyama M.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1991 Apr 15; 125(1):73-6. PubMed ID: 1857561.
    Abstract:
    Direct synapses between retinal fibers and neuropeptide Y (NPY) and/or enkephalin-immunoreactive (ENK-I) neurons were investigated in the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) of the rat, using combined immunohistochemical and degeneration techniques. Degenerating retinal fibers terminated on dendrites of NPY-I and/or ENK-I neurons. NPY-I fibers in the IGL formed axo-dendritic synapses on non-immunoreactive dendrites. Most of them were asymmetrical synapses. ENK-I axon terminals contacted non-immunoreactive dendrites with symmetrical synapse.
