The distribution of neurons containing neurotensin in the central nervous system of the chicken was studied immunohistochemically. The majority of the neurotensin-immunoreactive (-ir) cell bodies were located in the hypothalamus. Extensive groups of labelled perikarya were found in the hypothalamic periventricular nucleus and in the magnocellular periventricular nucleus. In addition, ir-perikarya were scattered throughout the lateral hypothalamic area and in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus. The only extrahypothalamic site of ir-perikarya was in the region immediately under the lateral forebrain bundle. Immunoreactive fibres were detected in the hippocampus, the parahippocampal area, the hypothalamus, the region of the tractus corticohabenular and corticoseptal tracts, the median eminence, the region above the posterior commissure and in the intercollicular nucleus. The distribution pattern of the neurotensin-ir neurons suggests that neurotensin-like peptides are involved in the hypophysiotropic functions.
采用免疫组织化学方法研究了鸡中枢神经系统中含神经降压素的神经元的分布。大多数神经降压素免疫反应性（-ir）细胞体位于下丘脑。在下丘脑室周核和大细胞室周核中发现了大量标记的核周体群。此外，免疫反应性核周体散在于下丘脑外侧区和下丘脑腹内侧核。免疫反应性核周体唯一的下丘脑外部位位于外侧前脑束下方紧邻的区域。在海马、海马旁区域、下丘脑、皮质缰核束和皮质隔核束区域、正中隆起、后连合上方区域以及中脑间核中检测到了免疫反应性纤维。神经降压素免疫反应性神经元的分布模式表明，神经降压素样肽参与了促垂体功能。
