We studied the distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactive (IR) neurons in the adult human hypothalamus using a modification of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical method which can be applied on autopsy brain material following prolonged formalin fixation. We observed that most of the TH-IR perikarya localized within the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei were large and showed homogeneous staining over the entire cytoplasm and processes. These results show that in the human brain a large population of neurons within the neurosecretory nuclei are able to synthesize a catecholamine.
