A new group of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons in the cat thalamus.
A new cell group composed of a large number of neurons immunoreactive to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) was demonstrated in the paraventricular nucleus and midline nuclei of the cat thalamus, using four different anti-TH sera after colchicine treatment. However, in these regions, we did not detect any cell bodies containing other catecholamine synthesizing enzymes nor dopamine.
