Abstract
Fluorescent (aminergic) fibers were demonstrated by the Falck-Hillarp technique in all parts of the neurohypophysis (NH) in the roach (Leuciscus rutilus). The fibers are very thin and few in number in the rostral (RNH) and proximal neurohypophysis (PNH) but slightly more numerous in the NH adjacent to the pars intermedia (PI). The fibers occur in normal fish as well as in specimens pre-treated with gamma-methyl-noradrenaline. It is proposed that all parts of the adenohypophysis have a very sparse aminergic innervation. There is no correlation between the number of type "B' fibers and fluorescent fibers in the roach NH. The technical difficulties in obtaining good and reliable results in teleost material are discussed.Entities:
