The distribution, morphology, and maturation of catecholamine (CA) neurons have been studied in hypothalamic explants from late-gestation rats. CA-containing neurons were identified using the glyoxylic acid technique. CA-containing processes were present from all hypothalamic areas except the preoptic region. Several fiber types were identified. CA neurons in vitro resemble CA neurons in adult hypothalamus. This tissue culture system may be useful in the study of a number of properties of hypothalamus CA neurons.
已对妊娠晚期大鼠下丘脑外植体中儿茶酚胺(CA)神经元的分布、形态和成熟情况进行了研究。采用乙醛酸技术鉴定含CA的神经元。除视前区外,所有下丘脑区域均存在含CA的突起。鉴定出了几种纤维类型。体外培养的CA神经元类似于成年下丘脑的CA神经元。这种组织培养系统可能有助于研究下丘脑CA神经元的多种特性。
