  • Title: Neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity in the locus coeruleus of the rat brain.
    Author: Smiałowska M.
    Journal: Neuroscience; 1988 Apr; 25(1):123-31. PubMed ID: 3292966.
    Abstract:
    The detailed distribution of neuropeptide Y immunoreactive neurons and fibres is given for the rat locus coeruleus. The studies were carried out using indirect immunofluorescence and avidin-biotin-peroxidase techniques. It was shown that in colchicine pretreated rats, about 15-20% of locus coeruleus neurons contain neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity. Neuropeptide Y immunoreactive neurons form two populations: (1) medium-sized or large neurons, poorly immunostained, situated mainly in the dorsal and central locus coeruleus nucleus, and (2) small, strongly immunostained neurons in ventromedial parts of the nucleus. Neuropeptide Y immunoreactive fibres and terminals are scattered throughout the locus coeruleus, but are more numerous in its ventromedial and ventrorostral parts.
