Abstract
An electron microscopic study showed by using a dual immunolabeling technique that in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the rat, axon terminals immunoreactive for neuropeptide Y (NPY) made synaptic contacts upon neurons immunoreactive for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). Diaminobenzidine (DAB)-labeled NPY axon terminals made synaptic contacts on silver-gold-labeled VIP perikarya and dendritic processes. The presynaptic NPY terminals contained many small clear vesicles and a few cored vesicles labeled with DAB chromogen. At the synaptic portion, a symmetrical thickening of the pre- and post-synaptic membranes was evident.Entities:
