Abstract
Corticotropin releasing factor immunoreactive (CRF-IR) neuronal cell bodies and fibers have been localized in both the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus of the squirrel monkey. The major projection from these nuclei is to the median eminence and neural stem. A few CRF-IR fibers were found in the dorsal pars nervosa primarily adjacent to the pars intermedia. A rostral projection of CRF-IR fibers is associated with the suprachiasmatic nucleus and continues to septal areas. A caudally projecting bundle of fibers was observed entering the midbrain in neuropil adjacent to the aqueduct. The location of CRF-IR components is also compared with those containing vasopressin (AVP).
