Abstract

Immunocytochemical techniques were used to examine the distribution of several putative peptidergic and aminergic neurotransmitters within the various subdivisions of the rat lateral geniculate nucleus (LG). Neuronal cell bodies, immunoreactive for enkephalin and neuropeptide Y and neuronal fibers immunoreactive for enkephalin, neuropeptide Y, substance P, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and 5-HT were each localized within distinct subdivisions of the LG. These results suggest that the anatomical and functional differences of LG neurons are also reflected by differences in the transmitters which they utilize.
