The histochemical fluorescence technique for the demonstration of monoamines in the central nervous system was employed to assess the distribution of serotonin-containing neurons within the brain stem of the immature and adult stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides). Microspectrofluorometric analysis was performed in order to verify the existence of serotonin within perikarya which contained yellow histofluorescence. Serotonin-containing perikarya were found with raphe nuclei including nucleus raphe-pallidus, -obscurus, -points, -magnus, -dorsalis, and -centralis superioralis. Serotoninergic perikarya did not appear confined exclusively to the raphe, but were observed in the reticular formation and other brain stem nuclei including the locus coeruleus and nucleus subcoeruleus. Serotoninergic cells were not seen within the brain stem at superior collicular levels. The localization of serotoninergic perikarya in regions other than the raphe nuclei presents certain dissimilarities in relation reported in other mammalian species.
采用中枢神经系统中单胺类物质显示的组织化学荧光技术，评估未成熟和成年断尾猕猴（熊猴）脑干中含5-羟色胺神经元的分布。进行了显微分光荧光测定分析，以证实含有黄色组织荧光的核周质中5-羟色胺的存在。在中缝核中发现了含5-羟色胺的核周质，包括中缝苍白核、中缝隐核、中缝点核、中缝大核、中缝背核和中缝中央上核。含5-羟色胺能的核周质并非仅局限于中缝，还见于网状结构和其他脑干核，包括蓝斑和蓝斑下核。在中脑上丘水平的脑干内未见到含5-羟色胺能的细胞。与其他哺乳动物物种报道的情况相比，中缝核以外区域含5-羟色胺能核周质的定位存在某些差异。
