Cholecystokinin-8-like immunoreactive neuron pathway from the supramammillary region to the ventral tegmental nucleus of Gudden of the rat.
The existence of a pathway from the supramammillary region (SM) to the ventral tegmental nucleus of Gudden (NTV) containing cholecystokinin-8 (CCK)-like immunoreactive (CCKI) structures was demonstrated by experimental manipulations in the rat. Destruction of the SM resulted in the disappearance of CCKI fibers in the NTV.
