Abstract

Following systemic injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), the uptake of HRP by parvocellular hypophysiotropic neurons of the nucleus preopticus (NPO) was enhanced in response to stress or pharmacological adrenalectomy. Following lesions of the NPO, pharmacological adrenalectomy resulted in an enhanced uptake of HRP by parvocellular hypophysiotropic neurons of the nucleus lateral tuberis (NLT). The activation of hypophysiotropic neurons of the NPO and NLT in response to stimulation of the hypothalamo-corticotroph axis suggests that these neurons are involved in the stimulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion.
