Regeneration of the neurosecretory tract in hypophysectomized catfish Ompok bimaculatus (Bloch)--an in situ study. 1979

S Haider, and I J Singh

Regeneration and reorganization of the proximal cut end of the pituitary stalk is demonstrated in Ompok bimaculatus with the aid of in situ staining technique. The lesioned end exhibited an increase of axonal density and some axons became prominent by their uncontrolled growth. In few instances the cut ends were reorganized into a neurohypophysis-like organ.

D007016	Hypophysectomy	Surgical removal or destruction of the hypophysis, or pituitary gland. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Hypophysectomies
D010904	Pituitary Gland, Posterior	Neural tissue of the pituitary gland, also known as the neurohypophysis. It consists of the distal AXONS of neurons that produce VASOPRESSIN and OXYTOCIN in the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS and the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS. These axons travel down through the MEDIAN EMINENCE, the hypothalamic infundibulum of the PITUITARY STALK, to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
