dc.description.abstract | To determine if substance P- or prodynorphin-containing neurons of the medial nucleus of the amygdala and medial bed nucleus of the stria terminalis send projections to the medial preoptic area in the male Syrian hamster, we placed a fluorescent retrograde tract tracer (either Fluoro-gold, or rhodamine- or fluorescein-impregnated latex microspheres) into the medial preoptic area. Five to seven days later, the animals were treated with colchicine, allowed to survive for 48 h and the brains were processed for immunofluorescence histochemistry. Tissue sections were incubated in either rat anti-substance P or rabbit anti-C-peptide (the C-terminal sequence of dynorphin B1-29) antiserum followed by incubation in either fluorescein-or rhodamine-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-rat antiserum. When the injection site of retrograde tracer was centered within the caudal one-third of the medial preoptic area, labeled cell bodies were observed caudally in the medial part of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. Retrogradely labeled cell bodies were also observed in the posterodorsal subdivision of the medial nucleus of the amygdala. Both prodynorphin and substance P immunolabeling were observed in retrogradely labeled neurons in these two areas but fewer of these projection neurons were immunolabeled with substance P antiserum than with C-peptide antiserum. These projections may play a role in the peptidergic modulation of reproductive behavior in this species. | en_US |
