  • Title: Plasticity of vasopressin- and oxytocin-containing fibers in the median eminence in hypophysectomized young and old mice.
    Author: Kawamoto K, Kawashima S.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1985 Mar 18; 330(1):189-93. PubMed ID: 3886075.
    Abstract:
    Rearrangements of vasopressin- and oxytocin-containing fibers in the external layer of the median eminence after hypophysectomy were compared between young and old mice. In 3-month-old hypophysectomized mice, the increase in the number of fibers containing vasopressin was greater than that observed in 19-month-old hypophysectomized ones, suggesting a decrease in axonal plasticity in old mice. No difference with age was detected for the plasticity of fibers containing oxytocin.
