Abstract

The distribution of monoamine (MA)-containing nerve cell bodies in the brain stem of the chicken (Gallus domesticus) was studied by means of paraformaldehyde and glyoxylic acid fluorescent histochemical methods. The MA neurons were further characterized morphologically and histochemically in material prepared for the demonstration of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In the rostral midbrain of the chicken, two large collections of catecholamine (CA)-containing cells are found: one located in the ventromedial and the other in the dorsolateral (pedunculopontine nucleus) portions of the tegmentum. On the basis of their topographic location, CA content, and fiber connections, these ventromedial and dorsolateral cell groups can be tentatively associated with the CA-containing neuronal populations of the mammalian ventral tegmental area and pars compacta of the substantia nigra, respectively. In the caudal midbrain of the chicken, numerous CA-containing cells are intermingled with serotonin (5HT)-containing perikarya beneath as well as within the decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncles. At isthmus levels, abundant, closely-packed CA-containing cells are encountered along the lateral border of the central gray. These neurons, whic...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
