Neuropeptides in the cat amygdala
Abstract
The distribution of seven neuropeptides was studied in the cat amygdala using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. No labeling was found for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone or beta-endorphin (1-27). Sparse alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-immunoreactive fibers were found in the basomedial nucleus of the amygdala, whereas a low density of fibers containing alpha-neo-endorphin was observed in the anterior amygdaloid area. Neurotensin was observed in fibers of the anterior amygdaloid area (low density) and both the lateral (low density) and the medial part (moderate density) of the central nucleus. A low density of fibers containing neurokinin A was found in the anterior amygdaloid area, the basolateral nucleus, and the medial part of the central nucleus. A moderate density was observed in the basomedial nucleus and in the medial and cortical nuclei. Fibers containing somatostatin-28 (fragment 1-12) were observed in all the amygdaloid nuclei, whereas immunoreactive cell bodies were found in all the nuclei except in the medial part of the central nucleus and the medial nucleus. Perikarya containing neurokinin A were observed in the latter nucleus. The results point to a discrete distribution of peptidergic fibers in the cat amygdala, as well as the occurrence of neurons containing neurokinin A and somatostatin-28 (fragment 1-12). The distribution of the peptides studied in the cat is compared with the location of the same peptides in the amygdala of other species. The possible diencephalic origin of the peptidergic fibers is also discussed.
