[Demonstration of a different localization of perikarya immunoreactive to oxytocin and vasopressin in the cat hypothalamus].
Using immunohistochemical techniques, we demonstrated oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) neurons in the cat hypothalamus. The OT immunoreactive neurons were found mainly in the paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and dorsal accessory group located lateral to the fornix. In addition to these hypothalamic structures, the AVP immunoreactive neurons were observed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, ventral accessory group located in the retrochiasmatic area and lateral accessory group, dorsal to the supraoptic nucleus caudally, and ventral to the medial part of the internal capsule rostrally. We further demonstrated a different localization of the OT and AVP immunoreactive neurons in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei.
