The distribution of acetylcholinesterase, monoaminoxidase and ATP-ase was studied in human hypothalamus by means of electron microscopy. The study demonstrated a possibility of differentiation of the hypothalamic neurons according to phases of neurosecretion. These data were achieved on the basis of electron cytochemistry in detecting ATP-asa in the nuclei of neurons. Comparing literary data concerning the nonmediator role of acetyl-choline and catecholeamines with personal studies, the authors demonstrate the internal and external barrier functions of acetylcholinesterase and monoamineoxidase in the brain.
