Abstract

Vasopressin- and neurophysin-immunoreactive cells have recently been demonstrated in the rat locus coeruleus (A6) and subcoeruleus (A7). Using consecutive 5 μm thick frozen sections, medium-sized cells throughout the locus coeruleus area, but predominantly in the posterior parts of the A6 displayed coexistence for vasopressin and noradrenaline or neurophysin and noradrenaline immunoreactivity. The putative projection areas of putative fibers from vasopressin-containing cells in the locus coeruleus still remain to be elucidated.
