Cortical projections of monoamine oxidase-containing neurons from the posterior hypothalamus in the rat

Neurosci Lett. 1984 Dec 21;52(3):281-6. doi: 10.1016/0304-3940(84)90175-7.

Abstract

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) histochemistry combined with retrograde horseradish peroxidase tracing of neurons demonstrated that MAO-containing neurons in the tuberal, caudal and postmamillary caudal magnocellular nuclei of the hypothalamus project to various cerebral cortices.
