Co-localization of nitric oxide synthase and NGF receptor in neurons in the medial septal and diagonal band nuclei of the rat

Abstract

The relationship of neurons that express nitric oxide synthase type I (NOS-I), the synthetic enzyme of the free radical nitric oxide (NO), with cells that contain the low affinity p75 nerve growth factor receptor (NGFr) was examined in the basal forebrain region of the rat using double immunohistofluorescence. NOS and NGFr were found to be co-localized in a neuronal population that displayed a selective distribution. Double immunopositive neurons were evident in the medial septum and in rostral levels of the diagonal band nuclei where the vast majority (more than 80%) of NOS-immunoreactive cells were also NGFr-positive; the two cell populations were separate at more caudal levels of the basal forebrain. These findings support the chemical heterogeneity of septal and basal forebrain neurons which contain NGFr and indicate that in the rat a subset of neurons of the septum-diagonal band complex may release NO.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Basal Forebrain- Circuits

Basal forebrain is a region in the brain important for production of acetylcholine and is the major cholinergic output of the CNS. Discover the latest research on circuits in the basal forebrain here.

Basal Forebrain & Food Avoidance

Neurons in the basal forebrain play specific roles in regulating feeding. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to the basal forebrain and food avoidance.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
