[The co-localization of monoamines and enkephalins in the central nervous system]. 1984

Y Charnay, and L Leger, and F Dray, and P M Dubois

After examination of some particular methodological problems concerning the visualization of monoaminergic and "enkephalin containing" central neurones, the colocalisation of enkephalins in certains monoaminergic neurones is reported. Thus, in rat and cate raphe nuclei many serotoninergic cell bodies display enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (ELI). In the cat locus coeruleus complex most catecholaminergic neurones contain ELI. Further, the synthesis in situ of enkephalins is strongly suggested by the fact that synenkephalin-like immunoreactivity is also detected in these monoaminergic neurones. Synenkephalin is the N terminal part to the bovine medullosurrenal pro-enkephalin. Monoamine-enkephalin colocalisation has been shown in peripheral neurones and adrenal medulla. The possible functionnal significance of the coexistence of monoamine-enkephalins in neurones is discussed. In particular, some hypothetical levels of interaction are considered.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
