  • Title: Mammillothalamic enkephalinergic pathway in the rat: an immunocytochemical analysis.
    Author: Fujii S, Senba E, Kiyama H, Ueda Y, Tohyama M.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1987 Jan 13; 401(1):1-8. PubMed ID: 3101977.
    Abstract:
    We studied the afferent sources of Leu-enkephalin (ENK) -like immunoreactive (ENKI) fibers in the anteroventral thalamic nucleus (AV) of the rat using experimental immunohistochemistry. These fibers were markedly fewer on the operated side after the destruction of the medial mammillary nucleus pars medialis where a number of ENKI cells were observed. This strongly suggests that these ENKI cells project ipsilaterally to the AV. ENKI fibers seemed to reach the AV via the mammillothalamic tract.
