This study examined the subnuclear distribution and transmitter content of neurons in the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) that projected to the septum, dorsal hippocampal formation, and/or raphe. Following the injection of fast blue into the medial septum/diagonal band nucleus and rhodamine-conjugated microspheres into the dorsal hippocampal formation (or vice versa), retrogradely-labelled cells were found throughout the apical subnucleus of the IPN. Incubation of these sections with 5-hydroxytryptamine antiserum indicated that a small number of fast blue- or rhodamine-positive cells also contained serotonin. Occasional apical cells contained both fast blue and rhodamine, indicating a dual projection via collaterals to both the septum and hippocampus. Injection of either dye into the raphe also retrogradely labelled cells in the apical subnucleus, none of which contained serotonin. These results suggest that the IPN may function to integrate the activity within subcortical limbic nuclei via widespread serotonergic and non-serotonergic projections.

D008636 Mesencephalon The middle of the three primitive cerebral vesicles of the embryonic brain. Without further subdivision, midbrain develops into a short, constricted portion connecting the PONS and the DIENCEPHALON. Midbrain contains two major parts, the dorsal TECTUM MESENCEPHALI and the ventral TEGMENTUM MESENCEPHALI, housing components of auditory, visual, and other sensorimoter systems. Midbrain,Mesencephalons,Midbrains
D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.

D009474 Neurons The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
