Abstract:The distribution of galanin-like immunoreactive structures was studied in the brain of the Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis, using immunohistochemical methods. Periventricular immunoreactive cell bodies were observed in the rostral pole of the preoptic recess, within the pars parvocellularis of the nucleus preopticus parvocellularis. Another galanin-immunoreactive cell population was observed more caudal in the ventromedial hypothalamus, along the medial evaginations of the lateral recess. These cells appear within the cytoarchitectonic limits of the nucleus recessus lateralis pars ventralis. We found an extensive presence of galanin-immunoreactive fibres throughout the entire brain, although the most massive network of fibres was observed in the caudal olfactory bulbs, ventral telencephalon, preoptic area and around diencephalic ventricular recesses. Also, the hypophysis, ventricular mesencephalic area, median reticular formation and viscerosensory rhombencephalon displayed important plexuses of galanin-immunoreactive axons.The widespread distribution of these immunoreactive structures in the brain and pituitary of the Senegalese sole suggests an important role for galanin in neuroendocrine regulation of brain and adenohypophyseal functions.
