Projection neurons in the rat dorsolateral septal nucleus (DLSN) were labeled intracellularly with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in an in vitro slice preparation. The labeled neurons exhibited widespread 'isodendritic' type dendritic fields. Each of the neurons was identified as a projection neuron by the tracing of its main axon out of DLSN. The axons of these neurons gave rise to intrinsic collaterals which branched to form an extensive axon plexus which was confined to DLSN. These axon collaterals exhibited numerous en passant swellings suggestive of boutons. It is proposed that the recurrent axon collaterals of DLSN projection neurons may form an anatomical substrate for local inhibition within DLSN.

D012686 Septal Nuclei Neural nuclei situated in the septal region. They have afferent and cholinergic efferent connections with a variety of FOREBRAIN and BRAIN STEM areas including the HIPPOCAMPAL FORMATION, the LATERAL HYPOTHALAMUS, the tegmentum, and the AMYGDALA. Included are the dorsal, lateral, medial, and triangular septal nuclei, septofimbrial nucleus, nucleus of diagonal band, nucleus of anterior commissure, and the nucleus of stria terminalis.
