  • Title: Ultrastructural relationships of the pro-opiomelanocortin axons with the serotoninergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus of the rat.
    Author: Léger L, Zheng Z, Bonnet C, Cespuglio R.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1997 Feb 07; 222(3):155-8. PubMed ID: 9148238.
    Abstract:
    The relationships of the corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP)/ACTH-immunoreactive axons with the serotoninergic and non-serotoninergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus of the rat were examined by means of a double label immunocytochemical method. It is suggested that the rare contacts established by the CLIP/ACTH-immunoreactive fibers with serotoninergic neurons (cell bodies and dendrites) are not under a synaptic from. In contrast, the contacts with non-serotoninergic neurons were predominantly formed with dendrites and showed a substantial number of synapses.
