“…Displaced 5-HT cells in the reticular region are also characteristic of elasmobranchs [Stuesse et al, 1995;Carrera et al, 2008] and four main groups have been reported in zebrafish [Ekström and Van Veen, 1984;Ekström et al, 1985;Ekström, 1994;Kaslin and Panula, 2001]. Comparatively, more than 20 raphe subnuclei have been described in lampreys [Pierre et al, 1992], although a 'much less fragmented' 5-HT cell population was subsequently described based on reconstructions and/or sagittal sections [Antri et al, 2006;Carrera et al, 2008]. It was recently demonstrated that both in teleosts and mammals there are a number of distinct 5-HT subsystems within the raphe nuclei with unique genetic programming and functions [Gaspar and Lillesaar, 2012].…”

“…Thus, detailed distribution maps of 5-HT neurons and fibers were described in the brains of representative species of different groups [primates: Schofield and Everitt, 1981;Baker et al, 1991a, b;rodents: Steinbusch, 1981;Törk, 1990;monotremes: Manger et al, 2002;birds: Meneghelli et al, 2009;reptiles: Ueda et al, 1983;Smeets and Steinbusch, 1988;Bennis et al, 1990;Challet et al, 1991]. In addition, numerous studies revealed the 5-HT system in anamniotes, particularly in amphibians [Ueda et al, 1984;Corio et al, 1992;Clairambault et al, 1994], lungfishes , ray-finned fishes [Kaslin and Panula, 2001;Rink and Guo, 2004;see Lillesaar, 2011, for more references], cartilaginous fishes [Stuesse et al, 1995;Carrera et al, 2008], and jawless fishes [Pierre et al, 1992;Antri et al, 2006]. Therefore, from an evolutionary and comparative perspective, the 5-HT system is one of the best-known neurotransmitter systems in the brain.…”

Cladistians (Polypteriformes) are currently considered basal to other living ray-finned fishes (actinopterygians), and their brain organization is therefore critical to providing information about the primitive neural characters that existed in the earliest ray-finned fishes. The organization of the serotonergic system in the brain has been carefully analyzed in most vertebrate groups, and in the present study we provide the first detailed information on the distribution of serotonergic cell bodies and fibers in the central nervous system of representative species of the two extant genera of cladistians, i.e. Polypterus senegalus and Erpetoichthys calabaricus, by means of immunohistochemistry against serotonin (5-HT). Distinct groups of immunoreactive cells were detected in the preoptic area, the hypothalamic paraventricular organ, the pineal organ, the pretectal region, the long column of the raphe in the rhombencephalic midline, the spinal cord, and amacrine cells in the inner nuclear layer of the retina. Fiber labeling was widely distributed in all main brain subdivisions but was more abundant in distinct pallial and subpallial areas, the preoptic area, the thalamus, the optic tectum, the tori semicircularis and lateralis, the rhombencephalic reticular formation, the nucleus of the solitary tract, and the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord. Our analysis makes it possible to establish which serotonergic structures characterized the earliest ray-finned fishes, and a comparison of these results with those from other classes of vertebrates, including a segmental analysis to correlate cell populations, reveals that most characteristics, such as the presence of serotonergic cells in the preoptic area and the basal hypothalamus, are preserved in all anamniotes. However, this system seems to be reduced in amniotes, mainly mammals, although important features are shared, such as the presence of serotonergic cells in the pineal organ, the retina, and the raphe nuclei.

“…The striatum in lamprey has a chemical organization similar to that of other vertebrates, with neurons that are immunoreactive towards g-aminobutryic acid (GABA) and substance P and that are positive for acetylcholine esterase (Pombal et al, 1995). In addition, it is also densely innervated by fibers that are immunoreactive to serotonin (5-HT; Brodin et al, 1988Brodin et al, , 1990bPierre et al, 1992), substance P (Nozaki and Gorbman, 1986;Pombal et al, 1995), histamine (Brodin et al, 1990a), neurotensin (Brodin et al, 1990b), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; , galanin (Jiménez et al, 1996), and enkephalin (Pombal et al, 1995).…”

Afferents of the lamprey striatum with special reference to the dopaminergic system: A combined tracing and immunohistochemical study

1997

The origin of afferents to the striatum in lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) was studied by using fluorescein-coupled dextran-amines (FDA). Injection of FDA into the striatum retrogradely labeled several cell populations in the forebrain and the rostral rhombencephalon. No retrograde labeled cells were seen in the mesencephalon. A dopamine-specific antiserum was used to determined the distribution of dopaminergic perikarya and fibers. Many dopamine-immunoreactive (DA-ir) fibers were present throughout the brain, but the highest density of labeled fibers was in the mediobasal prosencephalon, especially in the striatum, the lateral hypothalamic area, and the neurohypophysis. Most DA-ir cells were located in the mediobasal diencephalon (preoptic region, nucleus commissurae postopticae, hypothalamus, and nucleus tuberculi posterioris). In the mesencephalon, only a few immunopositive cells were observed in the tectum opticum. In the rhombencephalon, DA-ir cells were observed in the isthmic region, dorsally to the descending trigeminal tract, and caudally to the posterior rhombencephalic reticular nucleus. The rostralmost spinal cord received many descending DA-ir fibers from the brainstem. Along the spinal cord, DA-ir neurons were also found, some of which projected to the medioventral surface, forming a prominent plexus. On the basis of double-labeling experiments, it is shown that the dopaminergic input to the striatum originates from the nucleus tuberculi posterioris. Thus, the striatum receives inputs from different structures, including a strong dopaminergic innervation from the diencephalon. Much of the dopaminergic system in Lampetra fluviatilis is basically similar to that seen in some teleosts, but it presents differences with other anamniote (elasmobranch) as well as amniote groups.
