title: Tyrosine hydroxylase- and corticotropin releasing factor-immunoreactivity in the olfactory bulb of the opossum (Didelphis virgianina).
abstract: The nerve fiber layer of the opossum olfactory bulb, formed by axons originating from bipolar neurons in the olfactory epithelium, and glomeruli are intensely immunoreactive for olfactory marker protein. The surrounding extra-glomerular neuropil contains numerous periglomerular neurons immunoreactive for either tyrosine hydroxylase or corticotropin releasing factor. Dendrites of both types of immunoreactive neurons extend into the intraglomerular neuropil. CRF-immunoreactive neurons are fewer in number than TH-immunoreactive neurons and are observed primarily in the periglomerular region. Occasional, scattered TH-immunoreactive neurons are seen in the deeper layers of the olfactory bulb.
