Morphological organization of catecholamine terminals in the diencephalon of the rhesus monkey. 1977

M Ishikawa, and C Tanaka

The hypothalamus and thalamus of the rhesus monkey were investigated using the fluorescence histochemical method of Falck and Hillarp. The hypothalamus was found to be richly supplied with catecholamine fluorescent nerve terminals with many thick and a few varicosities, whereas nerve terminals with fine varicosities were found to be distributed over the thalamus except for the midline and medial nuclei which were innervated by nerve terminals with thicker and more intense fluorescent varicosities. The morphological characteristics and distribution pattern of catecholamine terminals were similar between the rhesus monkey and the rat. However, some species differences were noted in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, arcuate nucleus and internal layer of infundibulum in the hypothalamus. The pulvinar, which was nonexistent in the rat, had fine terminals.

D009411 Nerve Endings Branch-like terminations of NERVE FIBERS, sensory or motor NEURONS. Endings of sensory neurons are the beginnings of afferent pathway to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Endings of motor neurons are the terminals of axons at the muscle cells. Nerve endings which release neurotransmitters are called PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS. Ending, Nerve,Endings, Nerve,Nerve Ending

D011941 Receptors, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.

D005260 Female Females
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.
