The topography of the caudal part of the paraventricular organ in Rana temporaria. 1977

N Goossens

The results of a monoamine-fluorescence study of the hypothalamus of Rana temporaria show that the brain area corresponding with the nucleus infundibularis dorsalis (NID), as described in other species, does not differ, neither morphologically nor histochemically, from the paraventricular organ (PVO), with which it is anatomically continuous. It is concluded that a nucleus infundibularis dorsalis does not exist as a separate entity in this species.

D008856	Microscopy, Fluorescence	Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001001	Anura	An order of the class Amphibia, which includes several families of frogs and toads. They are characterized by well developed hind limbs adapted for jumping, fused head and trunk and webbed toes. The term "toad" is ambiguous and is properly applied only to the family Bufonidae.

D001679	Biogenic Amines	A group of naturally occurring amines derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. Many have powerful physiological effects (e.g., histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine). Those derived from aromatic amino acids, and also their synthetic analogs (e.g., amphetamine), are of use in pharmacology.	Amines, Biogenic,Biogenic Amine,Amine, Biogenic
