title: Immunohistochemical approach to the functional morphology of the hypothalamic-hypophysial system.
abstract: Immunohistochemical studies at the light and electron microscopic levels have provided much information on functional morphology in the hypothalamic-hypophysial system. The present paper describes the immunohistochemical techniques available at present and their use to determine the localizations of neurons containing hypophysiotrophic substances, the co-storage of plural signals in these neurons, and the synaptic regulation of these neurons in rats.
