Tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons in the hypothalamus of the crested newt. An electron microscopic study

The fine structure and specialized neuronal, vascular and ventricular relations of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunopositive neurons and processes were examined in the hypothalamus of the crested newt. TH-immunoreactive neurons form a well developed system. Its possible role in the hypothalamic neuroendocrine mechanisms is discussed.
