Abstract:CSF-contacting neurons are involved in detecting changes in the
cerebrospinal (CSF) circulation and recent studies report their role in
nociception. Using neuronal tracers (Fluoro-Gold™, Cholera toxin subunit
B, BDA), immunofluorescence (Anti-FG, Anti-OT-neurophysin,
Anti-vasopressin, Anti-GABA, Anti-OTR) and electron microscopy, we
describe oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic CSF-contacting neurons
within the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and their
projections towards the rostral agranular insular… Show more
