CCK pathway from supramammillary region to the nucleus anterior ventralis thalami of the young rats.
The existence of cholecystokinin-8-like immunoreactive (CCKI) pathway from supramammillary region (SUM) to the nucleus anterior ventralis thalami (AVT) was demonstrated in this study by means of experimental immunohistochemical manipulations in very young rats, because destruction of unilateral SUM, which contains CCKI neurons, resulted in a disappearance of CCKI fibers in the ipsilateral AVT.
