  • Title: [Distribution of alpha-, beta- and gamma-endorphins in the forebrain and diencephalon of the rat brain (immunohistochemical study)].

    Abstract:
    The investigation performed by means of specific rabbit antisera is one of the stages for mapping peptides. This is necessary for revealing functional role of the endorphins in the CNS. The indirect method of Coons is applied in parallel series of frontal paraffin slices of the brain 10 mcm thick. Neurons containing alpha-, beta- and gamma-endorphins are localized in the same brain areas. These are structures of the palaeocortex (the prepiriform cortex and the diagonal area) and those of the hypothalamus (the supraoptic, arcuate, ventromedial, mammillary nuclei, anterior and posterior fields). Endorphinergic neural fibers run within composition of various conducting cerebral systems, such as the corpus collosum, fornix, internal and external capsules.
