The distribution of enkephalin immunoreactive neuronal cell bodies in the monkey brain: preliminary observations.
The distribution of enkephalin immunoreactive cell bodies was studied in the central nervous system of colchicine-treated monkeys. They followed a distribution pattern similar to enkephalin immunoreactive nerve fibers and terminal fields, and were found throughout much of the spinal cord and brain. Large numbers of enkephalin immunoreactive cell bodies were seen in the brainstem, hypothalamus and in telencephalic nuclear areas. In most regions, the distribution of enkephalin immunoreactive cell bodies in the monkey brain was similar to that reported for the rat.
