The presence of an adrenergic projection from the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) to the parabrachial nucleus (PB) was demonstrated by the immunocytochemistry combined with a retrograde tracing method. Numerous neurons containing both phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, a marker for adrenaline, and wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase, a retrograde tracer, were detected in the dorsolateral part of the NTS at the level of the area postrema after injection of the tracer into the dorsal PB.
通过免疫细胞化学结合逆行追踪法，证实了孤束核（NTS）向臂旁核（PB）存在肾上腺素能投射。将示踪剂注射到背侧PB后，在最后区水平的NTS背外侧部分检测到许多同时含有苯乙醇胺N - 甲基转移酶（一种肾上腺素标记物）和麦胚凝集素结合辣根过氧化物酶（一种逆行示踪剂）的神经元。
