Abstract:
:The distribution of FMRFamide-like-immunoreactive peptides was investigated in the brain and pituitary of the elasmobranch fish Scyliorhinus canicula using the indirect immunofluorescence technique. FMRFamide-immunoreactive cells and fibers were mainly observed in the telencephalon and the diencephalon, while other brain structures were almost unstained. In the telencephalon, FMRFamide-like-containing neurons were seen in the caudal part of the area periventricularis pallialis, in the posterior area of the nucleus septi medialis and in the nucleus septi caudoventralis. In the diencephalon, numerous FMRFamide-positive cell bodies were observed in the hypothalamus, ventral thalamus and posterior tuberculum. The highest density of immunofluorescent perikarya was found in the nucleus lobi lateralis hypothalami and in the nucleus periventricularis hypothalami. More caudally, the mesencephalon and the caudal brainstem only contained scattered varicose FMRFamide-immunoreactive fibers. Stained fibers were also identified in the median eminence and several FMRFamide-like-positive cells were detected in the dorsal and rostral parts of the neurointermediate lobe of the pituitary. These data indicate that substances related to the molluscan cardioexcitatory peptide FMRFamide are widely distributed in the brain of S. canicula, suggesting their implication in neuroendocrine and/or neuromodulatory functions.
