[Immunocytochemical detection of the CRF-containing neurons in the rat brain (author's transl)].

Immunocytochemical studies on Rat brains using an antiserum against CRF revealed a new hypothalamo-infundibular neuroglandular system: its perikarya are mainly located in the paraventricular nucleus; its nerve endings are very numerous around the blood vessels in all region of the external zone of the median eminence and in the periphery of the pituitary stalk.
