Using a recently developed monoamine oxidase (MAO) histochemical technique, we show the existence of MAO-containing neurons in the cat hypothalamus. In conjunction with retrograde tracer technique with horseradish peroxidase, we further demonstrate that virtually all posterior hypothalamic neurons projecting directly to the occipital cortex contain MAO, an amine catabolizing enzyme.
利用最近开发的单胺氧化酶（MAO）组织化学技术，我们发现猫下丘脑存在含MAO的神经元。结合辣根过氧化物酶逆行示踪技术，我们进一步证明，几乎所有直接投射到枕叶皮质的下丘脑后部神经元都含有MAO，一种胺分解代谢酶。
