title: [Description of neurons immunoreactive to anti-beta-endorphin immune serum present in the infundibular nucleus in man].
abstract: Neurons containing peptide (s) immunologically related to beta-endorphin have been detected by immunochemistry in human adult and fetal hypothalami. Their perikarya are located in the infundibular nucleus. Some fibres terminate close to vessels in the median eminence, others form pericellular baskets around perikarya of non-immunoreactive neurons of the infundibular nucleus. These results suggest that the central nervous system elaborates beta-endorphin or immunologically related peptides.
