Abstract:
Nissl stain and immunocytochemical methods were used to observe the structure of the subnuclei of interpeduncular nucleus in human neonatal brain and their localization of substance P-, leu enkephalin-, and serotonin (5-HT)-like immunoreactive elements. It was detected that the human neonatal interpeduncular nucleus could be divided into five subnuclei, including: the dorsal, dorsolateral, lateral, central, and intermediate subnuclei. The immunocytochemical results showed that the substance P-containing cell bodies and fibers or terminals were distributed chiefly in the dorsolateral, lateral subnuclei and the ventral part of the intermediate subnucleus; the enkephalin-containing cell bodies and fibers or terminals were concentrated in the central subnucleus; and meanwhile the serotonin-containing cell bodies and fibers or terminals were found mainly in the dorsal subnucleus.
