title: Immunohistochemical research on vasopressin in the accessory hypothalamic nuclei.
abstract: Immunohistochemical studies were performed using antivasopressin on the neurons and the accessory nuclei of the anterior hypothalamic region of rat. Accessory neurons had a positive vasopressin reaction which was similar to that already found in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. The accessory neurons should therefore be considered part of the neurosecretory magnocellular system because of their morphological aspect, and because of their secretory activity.
