title: [Radioautographic identification of central monoaminergic neurons by local micro-instillation of tritiated serotonin or noradrenaline in cats].
abstract: Monoaminergic neurons in nuclei raphe dorsalis and locus coeruleus of the Cat may be visualized by radioautography after local micro-instillation of tritiated serotonin and noradrenaline. The concomitant administration of the appropriate tracer with the other biogenic amine in non radioactive form permits a specific identification of serotoninergic and catecholaminergic nerve cell bodies. A small contingent of presumptive serotoninergic neurons is thus demonstrated in the region of the locus coeruleus.
