Structure of the subfornical organ: a review.
In this review, the light microscopic and fine structural characteristics of neurons, axons, dendrites, glial cells, and capillaries and their topography within the subfornical organ are summarized, with an emphasis on recent findings. Structure-function relationships are discussed whenever possible and put into perspective in a concluding section.
