title: Direct synaptic contacts of catecholamine fibers on neuropeptide Y-containing neurons of the rat cerebral cortex.
abstract: A direct synapse between catecholamine (CA) fibers and neuropeptide Y (NPY)-containing neurons was demonstrated in rat cerebral cortex by using an immunohistochemical double-staining method under electron microscopy.
