Supraoptic nucleus of the Brattleboro rat has an altered afferent noradrenergic input

J Scholer and JR Sladek Jr

The distribution of fluorescent varicosities in the supraoptic nucleus of Brattleboro rats was compared to that in normal rats. The Brattleboro rat, which is characterized by a genetic absence of vasopressin, had fewer fluorescent varicosities in apposition to the vasopressin-deficient perikarya. The oxytocin-producing neurons in the same nucleus were hyperinnervated. These data suggest that the target neuron peptide (vasopressin) is necessary for the maintenance of normal noradrenergic innervation patterns.
