摘要
Following the injection of a retrograde tracer, gold-conjugated and inactivated wheatgerm agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-apo-HRP-gold), into the dorsal tier of substantia nigra compacta (SNCD), histamine immunostaining was performed for the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) in order to investigate the projection from the TMN to the SNCD. At the rostral pole of the TMN, the retrograde labeling in the dorsomedial subdivision following medial SNCD injections was predominantly ipsilateral (78%), whereas only a few cells were located bilaterally following lateral SNCD injections. Following tracer injections along the medio-lateral location along the SNCD, the labeling at the ventrolateral TMN was bilateral with slightly ipsilateral (58–61%) dominance. At rostral and caudal TMN levels, clusters of labeled neurons were localized within two discrete columns of the ventrolateral TMN. At rostral TMN level, a lateral column of cells was located at the lateral tip of the ventrolateral TMN just medial to the internal capsule, while the medial column was close to the protruded region along the ventral, pial border. At the caudal TMN level, two columns were located on either side of the lateral mammillary nucleus. Taken together, the present study suggests that ventrolateral as well as dorsomedial TMN might provide arousal-related information to medial, intermediate, and lateral regions of the SNCD, which in turn influence extrapyramidal, behavioral functions performed by the substantia nigra compacta.
