Distribution of galanin-like immunoreactivity in the human brain.

Abstract

The distribution of galanin-like immunoreactivity has been studied in complete coronal sections taken from 9 normal human brains (4 male, 5 female mean age 54, range 42-72 years). Galanin-immunoreactive cells were restricted largely to the basal nucleus of Meynert and to the supraoptic, ventromedial and posterior areas of the hypothalamus. Fibre staining was more widespread, seen throughout the hypothalamus and in the diagonal band, septum, amygdala, hippocampus and scattered throughout the cortex. This distribution may indicate a role for galanin in the modulation of hypothalamic and basal forebrain function in man.

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.

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.

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.
