Abstract:
:The distribution of enkephalin-like cell bodies in the thalamus of the rat was studied by means of intratissular injections of colchicine and using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The densest clusters of immunoreactive perikarya were observed in the nuclei geniculatum lateralis ventralis, medialis dorsalis, centralis lateralis, centralis medialis and anterior ventralis. Whereas the nuclei praetectalis lateralis, lateralis posterior, habenularis lateralis, parataenialis (its caudal part), parafascicularis, centrum medianum, reuniens and ventralis medialis had the lowest density. In other thalamic nuclei geniculatum mediale, paraventricularis and parataenialis (its rostral part) the density of enkephalin-like cell bodies was intermediate. These results suggest that the intratissular injection of colchicine is the better way of administration of the drug in order to study the distribution of peptidergic cell bodies in the mammalian CNS. The similarities and differences found in the distribution of enkephalinergic cell populations in the thalamus of different mammals are discussed.
